Abstract
A device has an elongated body member with pivoted fingers depending therefrom and notched on their opposite sides for positioning between and engaging with the warp strings of a tennis racket so that simultaneously tilting the fingers sidewardly raises and lowers the warp string alternately from a common plane to facilitate threading the transverse strings therethrough in stringing or restringing the tennis racket.
