PRO STRINGING

IS MY SPECIALTY !

CHOOSING YOUR STRINGS:

The strings are a racquet's main power source, yet to most players stringing is regarded as a necessary evil, something to be done only when a string breaks, rather than a vital, game-enhancing tool. Poor stringing can negate the good playing characteristics of even the best modern racquet, and with racquet weights getting ever lighter, there has to be some compensation made for the lack of mass in the frame, which helps to provide the racquet's actual hitting power.

The choice of strings and the method of stringing become even more important as the string platform has more work to do. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to realize that all things being equal, the laws of physics do not allow the mass of a light object to overcome that of a heavy object - the weight of the tennis ball going in one direction, versus the weight of the tennis racquet coming from the other.

Lower String Tensions generate more power, providing string movement does not occur.

Higher String Tensions generate more ball control. Usually recommended for experienced players.

A longer string, or string plane area, produces more power.

Decreased string density, or fewer strings, generates more power.

Softer strings, or strings with a softer coating, tend to vibrate less.

The brand of your string, as well as its reputation, resiliency, gauge, density, composition (nylon, Kevlar, polyurethane, copolymer, monofilament, multifilament, high modulus copolyester, gut, Zyex, hybrid), texture, pattern, string spacers, vibration dampeners, as well as the variety of stringing patterns, lengths and tensions available can be very confusing.

MY DEMO PROGRAM - I suggest playing with several demo racquets to choose which string is best for you. You're going to be playing with this string for a long time, so we want you to select one that you know you like.

Working together we'll find the right one for you!
