String tensions

Published on 23 October 2024 at 20:13

Factors affecting string tension:

  • Playing style: Power players may prefer lower tensions, while control players may prefer higher tensions.
  • Arm health: Higher tensions can be harder on the arm, so players with elbow or shoulder issues may want to consider lower tensions.
  • Personal preference: Ultimately, the best string tension is the one that feels most comfortable and allows you to play your best.

Additional considerations:

  • String type: The type of string you use can also affect the feel of the racket. Polyesters are generally stiffer and provide more power, while natural gut is softer and provides more comfort.
  • String gauge: Thicker strings are generally more durable but can also be harder on the arm.

Professional stringing:

It's recommended to have your racket strung by a professional to ensure that the strings are properly tensioned and that the grommets are not damaged.
