Restringing Advice

How often you should restring your racket depends on several factors: the type of racket, your playing style, the kind of strings, and how often you play.

Here are a few signs and general guidelines to help you decide when to restring:

  • A general rule of thumb is to restring your racket as many times a year as you play each week (e.g., play once a week, restring once a year; play twice a week, restring twice a year).
  • Rackets should be restrung after 40–50 hours of play.
  • Nylon strings tend to lose tension faster, usually after 30–40 hours of use.
  • At a minimum, your racket should be restrung every 6 months, regardless of how often you play, as strings naturally lose tension and elasticity over time.


Players who have never restrung their racket, or haven’t done so in years, increase their risk of injury, such as tennis elbow, shoulder, and arm issues. Plus, old strings can reduce your racket's performance.

Selecting the right strings is essential to enhancing your performance, and regular restringing ensures that performance is maintained.

String Types

Synthetic gut

Nice string to play with. Good balance of playability and durability. This string is used by 60-70% of players.

Multifilament

The nicest string to play with. It is the most elastic of the strings resulting in a large sweet spot but is not the most durable. This is ideal for anyone with tennis elbow problems.

Top Spin

This is a type of synthetic gut with a rougher texture to the string which will give more bite on the ball resulting in more spin.

Polyester Monofilament

This is a hard wearing durable string suitable for hard hitting players.  Often used a part of a mix.

Poly Mix

This is a combination of a poly string in the mains and something else (Synthetic gut/topspin) in the crosses.  This is more durable than a full synthetic gut re-string.

Brands of string we use include Babolat, Wilson, Technifibre, Solinco, Yonex & Head.

Tension

Tension refers to how tightly the strings are strung in the racket. Each racket comes with a specific tension range recommended by the manufacturer, typically between 50-60 pounds. While it’s possible to string above the maximum tension, doing so could void the warranty.

In general:
- Higher tension offers more control.
- Lower tension provides more power.

Players who generate their own power often prefer higher tension for better control, while beginners or those seeking extra power may opt for lower tension.

If you’re unsure what tension to choose, we recommend starting with the middle of the recommended range. From there, you can adjust based on your experience. For instance, if you need more power, drop the tension by 2-3 pounds next time.
