Helpful Stringing Tips!  A string that feels soft and forgiving to one player can feel dead to another. As a result, people spend a lot of time experimenting with a variety of strings in an attempt to find the best fit for them. Yet, strings rarely get the consideration upon purchase that racquets do. People often leave them in their racquets for too long or use types that are not a good fit for their style of play. So here are some basics about string.
Strings mostly come in three materials: natural gut, nylon (multifilament synthetics), and polyester. Gut provides the most feel, polyester offers the greatest durability, and nylon is a balance of the two. Multifilament synthetics are the largest segment of the string population ranging from high-performance to basic synthetics.
Softer ones are the least expensive and play like gut, which is good for net-rushers, doubles, or anyone with arm trouble. On the opposite end is the more durable multifilament that gives a much longer life span for you string breakers, but are not as stiff as polyesters. So the next time you come to the pro-shop for a stringing, let us fix you up with the best string for your game and give you the biggest bang for your buck. |
