Not Sure If You Need One?

Signs Your Racket Needs Restringing

Notching or fraying

Grooves cut into the strings where mains and crosses meet mean they're close to snapping.

Movement between hits

If strings won't stay in place after you straighten them, they've lost their grip on each other.

Loss of spin or pop

Flatter shots and less bite on the ball are classic signs tension has dropped off.

It's been 6+ months

Even unused strings lose tension sitting in the frame โ€” restring at least twice a year if you play regularly.

Tension Guide

Find Your Sweet Spot

A rough starting point by playing level โ€” our stringers will fine-tune it with you in-store.

Beginner / Recreational

50 โ€“ 55 lbs

Lower tension for more power and comfort โ€” forgiving on off-centre hits while you build your swing.

Intermediate / Club

55 โ€“ 60 lbs

A balanced setup for players developing consistent spin and control.

Advanced / Competitive

58 โ€“ 65+ lbs

Higher tension for players generating their own power who want maximum control and feel.

Choosing a String

Poly, Multi, or Hybrid?

The three most common setups we string, and what each one trades off.

Multifilament

Best for: Comfort-focused / arm concerns

Softest option on the arm, closest feel to natural gut, but wears fastest.

Power
Control
Durability
Feel

Polyester (Poly)

Best for: Advanced players & big hitters

Holds tension well and gives serious spin potential, at the cost of a firmer, stiffer feel.

Feel

Hybrid (Poly + Multi)

Best for: Players wanting the best of both

Poly mains for control and durability, softer multi crosses for comfort โ€” a common club-level setup.

After Your Restring

Make Your Strings Last

Avoid heat build-up

A hot car boot is the fastest way to lose tension โ€” keep your bag somewhere shaded.

Rotate two rackets

If you play often, rotating between two similarly-strung rackets evens out wear and extends string life.

Restring twice a year, minimum

Even if nothing breaks, plan on at least two restrings a year if you play weekly.
