Tennis Racquet Strings for Every Style of Play
Strings shape how your racquet plays — often more than the frame itself. The right string and tension can add spin, soften impact for tender arms, or sharpen control for flatter hitters. Explore our full range by string type and find the setup that matches your game.

How to Choose the Right String
Start with comfort and playing style. If you suffer from arm or elbow soreness, a multifilament or natural gut is gentler. If you swing fast and want spin and control, polyester is the go-to. Thinner gauges add feel and spin but break sooner; thicker gauges last longer. Tension is the other half of the equation — lower tension gives more power and comfort, higher tension gives more control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which tennis string is best for my arm?
Multifilament and natural gut strings are the softest and most arm-friendly, making them the best choice for players with elbow or shoulder sensitivity. Avoid stiff polyester strings if comfort is your priority.
What tension should I use?
Most players string between 22 and 28 kg. Lower tension gives more power and comfort; higher tension gives more control. Polyester strings are usually fitted a little lower than multifilament or gut.
How often should I restring?
A good rule of thumb is to restring as many times per year as you play per week. So if you play three times a week, aim to restring about three times a year — sooner if a string breaks or loses tension.
