Choosing the right tennis strings can be confusing. There are hundreds of different kinds of strings on the market.<\/p>\n
In this article I want to simplify things and help you find the right string for your game!<\/strong><\/p>\n So let’s have a look at the different types of strings on the market. First of though I want to emphasize that I believe most tennis players spend too much time trying to optimize their rackets and strings rather than working on their game.<\/p>\n Some tennis strings are better suited for beginners, others for intermediates and\/or advanced players. What type of string you should use can also depend a little bit on your game style and of course on your budget.<\/p>\n Once you have figured out what type of string suits your level and game style well, I believe it does not matter very much which one in that category you pick.<\/p>\n Experimenting with your tennis strings can be fun though and there is of course nothing wrong with it. Just don\u2019t fool yourself into believing that you are gonna have a better forehand or backhand if you use different strings!<\/p>\n Generally there are two categories with tennis strings: Natural Gut and Synthetic Strings <\/strong><\/p>\n These strings are made from cow or sheep intestines. They are usually the most expensive strings on the market and up until about 10-15 years ago almost all Professional Tennis Players<\/a> used natural gut strings.<\/p>\n With natural gut strings players usually have good feel and control for the ball. They were extremely popular with serve-and-volley players like Stefan Edberg<\/a> and John McEnroe<\/a>.<\/p>\n Unfortunately they are not very durable and they can be quickly affected by bad weather conditions. Last but not least they are a bit more difficult to string.<\/p>\n To sum it up here are the pros and cons of using natural gut strings:<\/p>\n Natural Gut Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n Natural Gut Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n A very common natural gut string is the Babolat VS Natural<\/p>\n Synthetic tennis strings are basically all strings that are not made out of natural gut. These man-made strings are usually more durable than natural gut strings yet do not provide as much feel and control.<\/p>\n There are a lot of different types of synthetic strings on the market that also play quite different. The construction can vary from one solid piece of string called monofilament to multifilament which is somewhat like natural gut in the sense that it consists of many very fine strands.<\/p>\n I am not going to go into detail in regards to how these different types of strings are constructed. Instead I will try to give my recommendation as to which strings are suitable for what players.<\/p>\n Here are the most important categories to consider:<\/p>\n These are some of the most common strings for amateur players. Most of them are very inexpensive and this is usually the type of string that most rackets sold in tennis shops come with!<\/p>\n Nylon strings usually are more durable than natural gut strings but not nearly as durable as polyester strings<\/p>\n Nylon \/ Synthetic Gut Pros: Nylon \/ Synthetic Gut Cons: <\/strong><\/p>\n Examples of these strings are: Prince Tournament Nylon, Wilson Synthetic Gut<\/p>\n Nylon \/ Synthetic Gut strings are my recommendation for most recreational players!<\/p>\nNatural Gut<\/h2>\n
