Main Index

All players should have some knowledge of strings. If you select the correct string the performance of your racket can be improved.

The guide to strings consists of the sections shown below.

You are recommended to start with the section on string types. This describes the different types of strings that are available.

You will probably need to look at string gauge and tension later.

String Selection

The best starting point is probably the section on string types which should help you to select the best type of string for your game. This covers the important features of cost, durability and performance.

String Types more	Helps you to select the most suitable type of string for your game. Strings are arranged in different groups. This makes selection simpler.
String Gauge more	The gauge or thickness of a string will influence the performance and durability. There is much interest among players on the subject of string gauge.
String Brands more	Which brand of strings should you use? There is no simple answer but there are a great number of string brands. The lists show you some of the different brands and could help you to select one of them
String Tension more	You can have the best strings in your racket and still make more errors than you should. This can be caused by not having the correct string tension. This subject that is often misunderstood is explained in simple terms.
Popular Strings more	This is a new section introduced for 2004. It is a list of strings used by racket stringers and players. The idea is that players can suggest their favourite strings. You can then see the strings that other players like to use.
