Workshops & Teaching
With over 20 years’ experience giving stringing & customising workshops around the world, Richard has taught in Brazil, Taiwan, China, Vietnam, USA, Germany, France, Spain, Russia, Greece, Holland, Poland, Rumania, Denmark & Bali.
This experience and the knowledge gained from dealing with the best players in the world create the ability to teach and help anyone whether it be a beginner taking their first steps or a Grand Slam level stringer looking to fine tune their technique. By using “The Aggregation of Marginal Gains” teaching method, students can work on and define specific areas for improvement.
The Parnell Knot (Richard’s signature knot) is one of two official knots authorised at “The Championships” Wimbledon and has become one of the most used knots by professional stringers.
