I do not restring racquets, why would I purchase tennis string?

• To save money: If you supply your own string, re-stringers will string your racquet for the cost of labour only (usually between $10 and $20).
• To get the string that you like: Most re-stringers stock only a limited variety of string types. Acquiring and supplying your own string ensures your racquet will be strung with the string that you like.

Does the color of a tennis string have an effect on how it behaves?

• In theory, the dye used to color a string could have some minute effect on its mechanical behaviour.
• This effect is so small though that most players cannot feel any difference.

I have arm problems (tennis elbow, golfer's elbow etc.), what kind of string should I use?

• Elasticity is your friend when it comes to protecting your arm
• Higher string elasticity will reduce the amount of shock transmitted to your arm
• Nylon based strings offer high elasticity
• If you are using a polyester string and experiencing arm problems, try a hybrid combination that assigns a more elastic (softer) string to the crosses.

• Going with a lower tension will also reduce the shock transmitted to your arm.
