🧵Best Tennis Strings

Strings change how a racquet feels more than most players expect. Polyester strings are popular with hard hitters who want spin and control, multifilaments are softer and kinder to the arm, and synthetic gut is an affordable all-rounder.

If you have arm or elbow trouble, lean toward softer strings and lower stiffness, and restring regularly, since strings lose their playability over time even when they do not break. The videos here explain the trade-offs and how tension affects your shots.
