Racket restringing is probably the most overlooked part of anyone's equipment.
Players spend a lot of time researching a new racket to find the ideal one, they change their grips often (sometimes forced to because of weather), buy the latest clothing, update their shoes when they find themselves slipping but a lot of the time overlook the importance of new strings.
When I started out playing the mentality was strings should last at the very least a year, but as times change and research improves we find that leaving your racket too long between stringing can really affect your performance level.
There are so many reasons to restring and so many things to know about restringing, such as:
- Tension
- String construction
- String thickness
- Hybrid stringing
And much more. Below is a link to a blog that covers all aspects of stringing, that will hopefully help you when choosing your next strings and convince the non-regular stringers that it will be worth their while to string more often.
