Tips for Tennis Strings
- If your shots seem to be spraying everywhere, it may be time to re-string your racket*
- If you find yourself breaking strings too often, then buy a thicker gauge string such as 15g or 16g. The lower the number, the thicker the string and less likely it will snap.
- Or try using polyester strings, if you do not have any arm problems.
- Keep your rackets cool in an insulated bag, and never store them in a hot car overnight!
- Putting them in the trunk will almost guarantee tension loss (and ruining your string job)
- Get 10% OFF these longer-lasting polyester strings, which also have extra spin and hold tension for longer. See our reviews of the brands TopSpin and Genesis
- Buy tennis strings online in bulk size (called reels) to save on shipping and they are cheaper per set.
