However, tennis racket string is just as important as the racket is to playing good. Gauge is just one aspect that needs to be considered when choosing your string. Gauge refers to the thickness of the string. Currently the most common gauges are 15, 16, 17 and 18. The higher the number, the thinner the string. For each gauge there is a also a “half size” which is referred to as “L”, meaning light gauge. So a 16L gauge tennis string is thinner than a 16 gauge but thicker than a 17 gauge. Thicker strings have more durability but have less resiliency. Players often say the 15 gauge string has a stiffer board-like feel. Some players like that. But combine a stiff racket with a stiff 15 gauge string, and you might feel like you are playing with a brick. Thicker strings are great for players who frequently break strings or want that stiffer feel. If you are a string breaker and tired of spending money on frequently stringing your racket, try a thicker string. However, don’t jump from an 18 …

My brother in law is a tennis trainer and I got him this string due to its strength. It is not for a beginner level unless you use your racket as a hammer at home.

They may even spend hours playing with a demo racket before purchasing it. Once they find the best tennis racket, many players go for the cheaper string or the string that they had in their old racket. This can be a big mistake. If you used a demo tennis racket, it most likely had the best all around string put in it for that racket. For example, if it was a very stiff racket, chances are it had softer string in it or it might even have had natural gut in it, which is one of the top playing strings. It has been said that the strings are the “heart of the racket” or “the soul of the racket”. This is so true. Your tennis racket string is what gives you the “feel of the racket” or playability. If you put the wrong string in your racket, you will wonder why you ever bought the racket to begin with. Put in the right string, and it will be hard to get you off the court! Of course, the “right” string is different for everyone. It all depends on what the tennis player likes and needs. Some te …

If you are like me who plays every day for a couple of hours then there is no question the next thing you need to do is purchase a string machine. Yes they can be quite expensive initially but you will see in a quick period of time that it will pay for it self. Now if you are more of a social tennis player who plays a couple of times a day here are some reasons still to invest in a string machine. Well first it really isn’t that difficult to learn how to string. Almost every racket is designed in the same way and by learning on one racket you will be able to string many other types. Well this leads me in to my next point. As I told you earlier that a string machine will save you money as well as paying for itself in the long run, but by putting it to good use you can make a bunch of money just by having one. You see many people pay for their rackets to be strung and the price is normally around 15-20 dollars. Now if you belong to a club or tennis group right there is access to people …
