String Brand Guide

This page provides a list of string brands from the racket companies. The main advantage of these brands is that they should be of good quality. A racket company wants you to continue buying their products. They are unlikely to risk losing customers by selling poor quality accessories.

Most rackets include the words “for best performance use XX string and XX grip” or something similar. (XX includes of course, the brand name of the racket). You can ignore this comment and only use the strings if you like them.
