Stringing guides
Short guides from our stringer: tension, gauge, materials, when to restring and more.
Choosing your tensionTension sets how firm the string bed is: higher gives control, lower gives easy power. Getting it right matters more than buying an expensive string.String thickness (gauge)Thinner strings are livelier and louder but wear out sooner; thicker ones last longer.When to restringStrings age even when they don’t break: tension drops after stringing, and the bed loses its liveliness and control.String materialsBadminton strings are nearly all nylon multifilament; in tennis the material makes a big difference to feel and to your arm.What the booking options meanPre-stretch, knots, stencil… if you’re unsure, keep the defaults and we’ll check.Broken strings & racket careA broken string is no drama — handle it right and the frame stays safe.
