What is a BSW Certified Stringer?
A BSW Certified Stringer is a professional who has successfully completed the Best Stringer Worldwide (BSW) certification program. This certification records that the stringer has passed the applicable BSW theory and practical assessments for badminton, tennis, or squash.
