NO! Using the same branded string as your racquet is not a written law and is definitely not enforced. Many players use the recommended string(s) from the manufacturer, but it’s not the only answer to find the best string for your game. The only way you will know is if you test many different strings across multiple brands.

Synthetic gut strings are made from man-made materials and offer a good balance of playability and durability at a lower cost. Natural gut strings are made from animal intestines and provide superior feel and performance but are more expensive and less durable.

This is a loaded question and it will really pertain to several different factors. How often do you play? How often do you break strings? What racquet do you use? What is your swing style? Do you hit with a lot of spin? Manufacturers will often give you suggestions on what tension and strings you should use, but it’s just a starting point. Strings are really meant to enhance your playing abilities. So you want to find a string that works well with your game and can be adjusted to different tensions. Higher string tensions will often result in more control, while lower string tensions will often result in more power. Just remember that the tension and string you use will always affect the way you play. You want to make sure you’re getting the proper effects out of that string, so you can remain confident. The current trend with stiffer strings (polyester, kevlar, etc.) is to string them lower (45-50 pounds), while natural gut or multifilament strings can be strung tighter (55-65 pounds) and maintain solid comfort.

The frequency of restringing depends on how often you play and your playing style. A general rule of thumb is to restring your racket as many times per year as you play per week. For example, if you play three times a week, you should restring your racket three times a year.

There are several signs that your racket may need restringing, such as loss of tension, frayed strings, or a change in the feel of your shots. If you are unsure, our experts can assess your racket and recommend the best time for restringing.

Multifilaments are a type of string that’s comprised of numerous individual string filaments being wrapped or braided together into a single strand. As you play, your strings will start to rub against each other and the top layers start to break. The bottom layers will remain intact until you wear them down. The more friction you cause from the strings moving across each other, the quicker the strings will break.

This is probably due to a combination of stiff strings with a high string tension, and overuse of the elbow area when you play. This is very common among players today because of monofilament co-polyester tennis strings. Monofilament strings are seen on tour as being the best string for control and durability; however, what many players don’t realize is they are very firm and require fast racquet head speed consistently. The first questions to ask yourself if you’re getting tennis elbow problems are: how often am I playing and what type of string/tension did I last string my racquets at? If you’re playing 6 days a week and using RPM Blast 15L strung at 60 lbs, you’re probably not doing yourself any good. The first steps to take are: rest your body, lower your string tension 4-5 pounds, and try a softer string construction. Yes, I know most people want to play like their favorite pros, but it doesn’t do you any good if you’re watching from the sidelines and needing cortisone shots every week.

Tension and strings should go hand-in-hand when you’re deciding on the right ones for your game. Whether you’re wanting more control or power from your string bed, there’s 3 main strategies to choose from. Try a thicker gauge size. Just going up in thickness for a string could make the difference for your racquet and help add more control. No need to over think about switching to a different string, and you’ll get something you enjoy hitting with. Try a higher tension. Like I said before, higher tension usually results in more control. Just bumping up your tension 4-5 pounds can make the difference between a ball going long and landing 5 feet shorter. Try a different string type. Most players believe that switching directly to polyester string is the answer for more control and/or power. This is not true. If you’re using a natural gut or multifilament string, you’re next best solution is actually synthetic gut. And if you’re a current polyester user, you may want to try experimenting with a non-polyester monofilament string. These options give you more control, but without the harshness of a polyester string.

There could be a couple different factors making your string break in weird spots along your tennis racquet. Loose/cracked grommet or head guard. Often players don’t think about the plastic grommets that hold our strings in place and keep them from breaking prematurely. When your head guard and grommet is looking scuffed, cracked or breaking off your frame, then it’s definitely time to replace it. Cracked racquet frame. If you have ever thrown your racquet on the ground in frustration or hit something that wasn’t a tennis ball, you might need to check the state of your racquet frame. You’ll be surprised how easily some frames can develop cracks and alter how you can string your racquet the next time around. Weak spot in the string. Believe it or not, sometimes you can get weak spots in the string even when its just been sitting around your house for awhile. Outside elements can alter the string’s construction and cause it to loose some of its durability.
