Q&A about strings
When to re-string
Re-string your racket based on the average number of times you play tennis per week in a year e.g., if you play once a week then re-string once a year assuming you don't break strings. If you play 4 times a week then change string 4 times a year, basically every 3 months. Re-stringing is a must at least once a year!
String Tension
Loose tension can generate extra power although learning a good technique at first is way more important, effective and results in massive improvement on your game since loose string has much less control. On the other hand, tighter string tension results in more control and fair amount of power. Loose string is mainly recommended for higher level and advance player.
Do strings break?
YES! As you play your strings will move up/down and rub against one another which creates friction, the string develops a notch as a result of the rubbing, and it eventually snaps. The more Topspin you generate more likely you break string.
Premature Shank Breakage:
Strings can break when a ball is struck close to the frame, regardless of their age. This happens because the impact causes the string to pinch against the racket's grommets (plastic parts), focusing the force on a single point, leading to a break. Always aim to hit the ball with the middle of the racket to distribute the impact across all strings and avoid this issue. While we evaluate each case individually, understanding shank breaks can help you prevent them.
