About Joe
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I do not know much about the rules or the technical sides of the game, but I can give information on all equipment, handles, heads, helmets, and some stringing styles.

Experience
Due to the lack of teams in my area during my school years, I have never played. I have worked for a major retailer for 7 years. I manage the operations now, but I have done everything from sales to stringing (limited to mesh).
