Racquet Stringing

Don’t panic if you hear that twang of a broken string. We have a racquet restringing service.

And it’s not just for broken strings, if you suffer from strings that constantly move, tennis elbow, no power, or lack of touch then chances are it could be you are playing with the wrong string type or tension. We offer advice on string types, tensions, and gauges to make sure you get the best string for your playing style.

The majority of new rackets are strung with synthetic guts, which is a good choice for most people and is the string we recommend for most new players. For those suffering from tennis elbow or sore joints, natural gut is an option and this excellent article all about natural gut strings explains why it’s arm friendly.
