RESTRING GUIDELINES 1. HOW OFTEN SHOULD I RESTRING MY RACKET? Most stringers agree that you should restring your racket the same number of times per year as you play per week. i.e. if you play twice per week then two restrings per year. Note: this can vary from player to player depending upon the type of game you play, string type and tension used. 2. WHAT STRING TYPE SHOULD I USE? Price - Generally the more expensive the string the better the playability, responsiveness and tension stability String life - is generally affected by the string thickness, tension used and the type of game you play. String thickness - Thinner gauge strings give better response and playability but reduced life, thicker strings give longer life but are less responsive. Note :- Generally medium priced strings of thicker gauge give good all round playability, life and value for money, such as Ashaway Rallye 21 badminton string (my top seller) 3. WHAT STRING TENSION SHOULD I USE? These are my recommendations, although I will string to your personnel requirements. Badminton - High tensions 22 to 30 lbs = more power, less control, reduced life - Medium Tensions 19 to 22 lbs = good all round playability and life - Low tensions 15 to 19 lbs = less power, more control, greater life Tennis - High tensions 65 to 70 lbs = less power, more control, reduced life - Medium tensions 55 to 65 lbs = good all round playability and life - Low tensions 50 to 55 lbs = more power, less control, greater life Squash - High tensions 33 to 40 lbs = less power, more control, reduced life - Medium tensions 28 to 33 lbs = good all round playability and life - Low tensions 24 to 28 lbs = more power, less control, greater life |
