Our Stringing Blog

Having competed and coached over many years, we understand that the feel, control, and performance of your racquet an be improved greatly by using different string sets. To a large extent many tennis players, recreational and performance might think that a string, is just a string.  To a certain degree the strings are possibly the most important component to think of when buying and looking after your Racquet.  Different gauges ( string width ) affect spin rates/durability, to string types which affect , power, feel and control. 

Strings lose tension and elasticity over time, greatly affecting performance. Thankfully with the advent of high end polyesters and mono filaments the durability of strings has increased greatly over the years. Gone are the days where you could, if hitting hard enough break strings every second week, particularly with the sand based damp courts that we're used to playing on. Durability has been greatly improved. So to have the science and types of strings on offer. 


Whether your strings are broken or not, your performance could be boosted with a racquet service and a new set of strings from the latest polyester monofilament strings to the traditional high-end gut-like multifilament strings.  The rule of thumb and general guide is "if you play twice a week, you should restring your racquet twice a year". That said if you love the feel and performance of your racquet then no need to change. Why not try a friends racquet and see does it perform differently from you own. The chances are it will.
