Restringing

Restringing facts

kc rackets Stringing Options
In terms of the strings performance the owner should consider what they most want to improve in their game:
Less Tension
A racket strung at a lower tension will be more forgiving in the shot and provide more power. Generally better for players still developing their game. Known as the trampoline effect.
More Tension
Provides greater control but requires a greater level of ability to be able to make use of the extra control. Comes at the sacrifice of power.
General Rules
As a general rule, you should restring your racket the number of times you play in a week per season. I.e. The tennis season runs from July to December so if you play three times a week then your racket should be restrung every eight weeks

You should always warm up the strings before you play. This can be done by rubbing a towel over both sides of the string for 30 seconds to induce heat.

Stringing Types

Monofilament
A solid construction blending polyester or polyether
Solid core with Single wrap
A very common construction. The solid core gives durability while reducing tension loss whilst the outer wrap improves playability and protects the inner core. Example string type: Prince Synthetic gut
Solid core with Double wrap
A softer feel is achieved although durability is decreased due to a thinner core
Multi-core with Single wrap
Improved playability with the increased elasticity of the multifilament core. The outer wrap protects the core. This is a very popular string type with badminton and squash players. Example string type: Ashaway Rally 21, Super Nick XL
Multifilament
Similar construction to Natural Gut. The coreless string is made from multi-fibres and then coated for protection. This string looses tension quicker than a string with a central core. Example string type: Technifibre
Composites
A combination of nylon and aramid fibres increases durability whilst retaining playability. Example string type: Ashaway Composite XL
