Excellent starting pay and benefits. German language is necessary++++ Gabriele Medri of pro-t-one has done a study on stringing patterns which is very interesting to read. The test also compares normal stringing to Sergetti stringing in the lab. He has also done a lab test for MSV Focus Hex Ultra in this issue. We want to try some play tests and compare lab results with play test results. This is an interesting thing to do as many players say the strings do not play like the lab tests say they should. We would like to do this with a larger group to see if this is an individual feeling or most testers feel the same way when the strings are in the racket. Roger Luo has organized a tennis event in Shanghai during and after the ATP Masters tournament with press, workshops and certification testing to promote ERSA in China. ERSA is now organizing first time workshops and certification this winter in several countries including Israel, South Africa and Turkey. Best regards, Mark Maslowski ERSA PRO STRINGER // ISSUE 6-2018
