Racquet restringing

I offer professional stringing at an extremely competitive price. We guarantee the highest quality racquet restring service possible with over 22 years’ experience. If you have not broken a string and wondering if you need to restring your racquet, the conventional rule of thumb is to restring as often per year as you play per week, but no less than twice per year. It won't hurt your racquet to restring less often, but your strings may lose their tension over time. We can cater for players looking for control, increased spin, power or durability and have a 'ready next day' guarantee. Upon special request, in most cases we may turn your racquet around on the same day.

How Long Should A Restring Last? 

This depends on many factors, including the type of string being used, how hard you hit the ball, the amount of spin you put on the ball etc. If you are breaking strings too often for your liking, and that will vary between people, you have to consider changing your string to a more durable one, remembering that more durability usually means less feel/playability, or accept that you will be restringing more often than once or twice per year.

What Is The Right Tension For Me? 

Usually, the looser you string a racquet, the more power you should get and the tighter you string a racquet, the more control you get. If you are unsure about which tension you play with there is no simple test to find out what tension you have, however I would recommend stringing at a medium level, say 56 - 57 lbs. A racquet also loses a few pounds within a few weeks of being strung, due to the strings stretching. So if you are unhappy with the feel of your racquet once strung, give it a few weeks to loosen off. If it still feels terrible, bring it back to get restrung. Generally, a loose string is also better if you suffer from tennis elbow too, as it reduces the stress on your forearm.
