1. About the Instructors

This course is taught by Adam Ford and Kyle Pipkin from the Hope College Professional Tennis Management (PTM) program.

Adam is the Director of the Hope College Professional Tennis Management (PTM) program. Among his many responsibilities is to teach every PTM student how to string racquets.  Adam has nearly 20 years of stringing experience as well as being a high performance coach.

Kyle is a student in the Hope College PTM program and is from Fort Worth Texas. After falling in love with tennis in his middle school years, he quickly picked up racket stringing as a hobby. Kyle has dedicated his life to the understanding of racket and string technology to the best of his ability, in hopes to provide helpful information to other tennis players.

Kyle is a very experienced stringer that has strung at professional tennis tournaments for tour players.

10sJunkies has become Kyle’s main tennis project, in hopes of it becoming a one-stop-shop online for anyone interested in rackets or string.
