Stringing the Omen
|
OMEN: a phenomenon believed to portend a future event.Its not always apparent to the outsider, but within the small community of individuals who repair squash, badminton, tennis and racquetball frames it is the racquetball stringers who struggle for respect. Fairly or not, we are always considered a class below the real stringers who pride themselves on servicing the tennis industry. After all, how hard can it be to re-string a short stubby racquet? Well, times are a changing! Thanks to E-Force and its innovative frames the Omen and its cousin, the Torrent racquetball stringers have just been issued a challenge that few tennis stringers are expected to deal with in todays market. Whether you string in a shop or at home, E-Force has discovered a surefire way to remove complacency from your workday. As all of you know, E-Force has established and done well with its LongString technology. The Omen and Torrent retain the LongString but E-Force has surprised many of us with the addition of a unique little twist called control wrap. The control wrap may surpass any current applied science for racquetball. In short, E-Force has minimized frame distortion by removing a hundred string holes and instead opting to have a cylinder rail which some stringers refer to as an inner fin. Both frames hold promise as we head towards the year 2000, but be forewarned, stringing either is not for the timid or insecure. The good news is that the same string pattern applies to both models.
In summary, dont shy away from what just might be the forefront of racquetball technology. Maintain your professionalism by doing your homework, executing this job with patience, and consider charging a few more dollars to string an Omen or a Torrent. And remember, the next time some tennis stringer tells you racquetball frames are a cakewalk hand them an Omen or a Torrent and smile! Weve just made the big time. |
