About
I'm Franklin Dorsey. I live in Columbia and string racquets at home on my own machine, which I check with a tension calibrator so the number you ask for is the number you get.
I started Last Cross because getting a racquet restrung shouldn't mean a week at a shop. Tell me what you play, and I'll help you pick a string and tension if you're not sure.
