  • Steven Erickson, Racquet Services

    Steven founded String Theory six years ago, sparked by a renewed passion for tennis and a curiosity about the craft of racquet stringing. As a lifelong artist, craftsman, and educator, he quickly fell in love with the precision, process, and science behind stringing. String Theory was built on a simple but effective model: respond promptly to calls and texts, guide customers in choosing the right strings and tensions, and return racquets as quickly as possible. Over the years, this commitment to service and quality has earned String Theory a loyal following across all levels of play. As an avid and frequent player himself, Steven understands that many players have only one racquet but many games.
