About YTEX Strings
A US stringer built for the pro shop, not the retail shelf.
YTEX has built a reputation on consistent playability, durability, and value — produced for serious players, programs, and teaching pros who restring regularly. For clubs, academies, and high-school / college stringing programs, that adds up to a reliable inventory line at a price that protects pro-shop margins.
Performance Strings
A staple range of high-quality tennis strings engineered for playability, durability, and tension retention across playing styles.
Value Pricing
Tournament-grade string at a price that works for teaching pros, stringers, and pro-shop margins — not retail markup.
Built for the Pro Shop
A reliable inventory line for clubs, academies, and high-school / college programs that restring regularly.
Direct from the Source
A US-based stringer operation — ARA members work directly with YTEX, no distributor middleman.
Why It Matters
Strings are the steadiest business in the pro shop.
Strings are the most replaced piece of equipment a player owns — the pro-shop stringing operation is one of the steadiest revenue streams a club has. Teaching pros who restring for their students need access to quality string at wholesale, not retail markup.
ARA members often run pro shops, administer stringing programs, or string for their own players. Direct wholesale access at YTEX means margin stays in the program — and a single conversation with Ivor Savage handles orders, technical questions, and stringing recommendations without an account-rep layer in between.

ARA members are pre-approved for a YTEX wholesale account — no separate application, no minimum-quantity dance. Confirm eligibility in the ARA dashboard, then order wholesale directly.
