Tennis-Related Services RACQUET CUSTOMIZATION  Racquet customization becomes increasingly important as tennis becomes more competitive. A small edge can have major results. Roman Prokes began his career traveling with Andre Agassi and other tour professionals. Stringing led to customization, and he became the leading professional in the industry when it came to racquet customization. His shop in New York is half retail and half workshop. Customizing can mean adding weight, matching racquets to each other, changing handles (different shapes and sizes) and even adjusting the length of a racquet. Prokes has worked with the U.S. team since 1994 and his wife, Angelika Prokes, is currently stringing for the U.S. Fed Cup team.  To arrange an appointment while you are at the National Campus and to learn more about this service, contact Sean Prokes at least a couple weeks in advance of your match.
