For the past fifteen years, he has dedicated himself to fine-tuning rackets and conducting play tests with more than thirty Top 100 ATP/WTA players. During that period, he has been the official stringer for the Belgian Davis Cup and Fed Cup teams. His expertise gives players that extra 1% and ensures that their racquet is not just a tool, but an extension of their body, so they can feel and hit the ball exactly the way they intend.

Dieter is perhaps the best-known non-player in Belgian tennis circles. As the official stringer of the Belgian Davis Cup and Fed Cup teams, his expertise is actually much broader than that. Detail-oriented and with a deep understanding of the relationship between biomechanics and equipment specs, his racquet fitting can lead to big differences and give players that precious extra boost to play at the highest level. As Dieter has worked with many top players, he takes into account movement and swing analysis (weight, balance, swing weight), game and frame analysis, stiffness, head length and size, as well as string pattern, stringing and tension analysis. All of these parameters ensure that each racquet is unlike any other and 100% customized to a player’s needs. Because EDGE believes that every detail can make a difference, it relies on Dieter’s expertise to ensure that its players are equipped with the racquets they need to play at the highest level.

Benoit Mauguin
Ben is a stringing specialist who founded Nec Plus Ultra in 2015. He now works with many current or former Top 10 ATP as well as WTA players. He is not an ordinary stringer but offers a high level of service that makes life easier for players when it comes to strings, through an all-inclusive tailor-made program he created and has been providing at major events.

After some compelling tests with Andy Roddick and other RPNY customers, Ben founded Nec Plus Ultra in 2015 at 36 years of age. This company doesn’t just string racquets for top players; it offers them an all-inclusive tailor-made stringing program so they don’t have to worry about anything but their match performance. After ten years of running this program, Ben now offers his services at all four Grand Slams as well as to other important tournaments on the calendar. His attention to detail and his perfectionism are matched by his Miles Reward Traveling program. Benoit has been working with players like M. Sharapova, C. Garcia, J. Ostapenko, S. Williams, J.-W. Tsonga, G. Monfils, F. Lopez and F. Auger Aliassime. Not surprisingly, EDGE could not do without the services he provides to its players.

Passionate about the Pro Tour, he is the founder and lead host of the Tennis Legend podcast, which provides an insider’s look at the Tour through interviews, vlogs and more.
