• Casual players: Once or twice per year

Signs that your racket needs restringing include:

• Loss of power and control
• Strings feeling loose or noticeably worn
• Visible fraying or damage to strings
• Reduced spin potential

At Court Coverage, we recommend having your strings checked regularly to maintain optimal performance.

Selecting the right string depends on your playing style, skill level, and priorities:

For power players:

• Multifilament or synthetic strings offer more elasticity
• Lower tension (50-55 lbs) increases power
• Thicker gauges (16-17) provide durability

For spin specialists:

• Polyester strings excel at spin generation
• Textured or rough surface strings enhance grip
• Thinner gauges (16L-17L) improve spin potential

For comfort-focused players:

• Multifilament or natural gut strings reduce arm strain
• Higher tension (60-65 lbs) provides control
• Softer string materials improve feel

For all-around performance:

• Hybrid stringing combines two string types
• Polyester mains with multifilament crosses
• Balanced tension for power, spin, and control

Our expert technicians at Court Coverage can assess your playing style and recommend the perfect string combination for your game.
