Important Questions About Strings:
When deciding how to string your racquet, please consider the following items:
- Performance level desired: Some players need maximum power form their strings. Others desire more control. Some want increased spin, feel or durability, while still others need shock absorption or tension maintenance. Many players will want, or need, some combination of traits. The best way to determine a starting point for this item is to ask yourself, what do you want from your current strings that you are not getting?
- Your type of racquet: Not all racquets are created equal; far from it, in fact. Some are quite flexible and forgiving, while others offer great power, but are too stiff to absorb shock well. The stiffer your racquet, the more flexible your strings should be; softer-flexing frames can use a larger variety of strings.
- Your stroke technique and power level: Your strokes affect how the ball comes off your racquet at least as much as the racquet itself. Slower swing speeds-- generally players in the 2.0-3.5 NTRP levels -- should use high-performance strings for extra power with less effort. More powerful players may opt for less power from the strings, looking instead for more control, feel, or tension maintenance.
- Injuries: If your elbow hurts, look for maximum shock absorption above all else. Power, durability or any other feature is for naught if your arm hurts too badly to play. Find a soft-feeling string and stick with it until your arm no longer bothers you.
- Choice of string tension: All other things being equal, looser strings will provide more power and forgiveness, while higher tensions will give you more control. However, do not fall into the "I stink, so give me all the control I can get" trap. String your racquet at the lowest tension you can control, and you will get the most performance with the least effort.
- String durability: This should be the least of your concerns. Most players, particularly women, never break strings. In fact, many arm problems develop because strings are never replaced. We advise you play with the thinnest gauge string you can, and replace them at least 3 times per year: when your spring and fall seasons begin, and at the start of the summer.
