This guide will show you how to string (or restring broken strings) on a tennis racket (or any racquet sport racket).
Before using this guide, you should choose the desired string tension. For most rackets, the recommended string tension is printed on the racquets, which is somewhere between the range of 50 to 70 lbs. Within the range, players can customize the amount of tension depending on the preference of playing style. Tight strings provide more touch and accuracy with less rebound ability. On the other hand, loose strings provide more spin on the ball with higher rebound ability. Using different types of strings can also affect the performance of playing. Choosing the suitable string type is also important before restringing the tennis racquets.
If you play tennis very often, it is relatively convenient to have your own stringing machine at home instead of paying restringing fees. The Gamma X-2 is a common tabletop model, which includes a 2-point mounting system and drop weight tension.
