Durability
There are many factors that influence how long strings will last. Such factors include tension, string material, how often you play and style of play. Call us at +919810387238 or send us a message, and we can assist you in choosing a string and tension that is appropriate for your game.
Power vs. Control
There are factors that can help you generate more power such as softer strings and lower tension. Lower tensions will tend to decrease your shot accuracy.
Higher tensions will help you direct shots with more accuracy but will reduce power.
Generating Spin
There are several factors that can help you generate more spin. The most important factor in generating spin is technique. If you don’t impact the ball from low to high (in the case of topspin) it doesn’t matter what string you use, the ball will have little to no spin. However, if your technique includes brushing up or down on the ball, then using the right string material, tension and racquet pattern will help you impart more spin on the ball. In general terms, smooth or textured polyesters, lower tensions and more open racquet string patterns will help you hit with more spin. Call us at +919810387238 and we can help you choose the right string.
You can increase your control by imparting more spin on the ball. The increased control comes from higher margins over the net and hitting heavier balls without having to be so close to the baseline or sidelines. Note: A “heavy ball” is a term used to describe a ball that has very high spin and velocity. The heavy ball is what you see the pro tennis players use on tour matches.
Grommet/bumper guards
Yes you can order grommets by searching “grommets” or find it on the menu under “other services”. Please be aware that grommets are not stocked and will increase your service order lead-time by 7 business days.
Grommets / bumper guard function is to protect the strings from premature breakage due to contact with the court surface or racquet frame material. When the grommets break, the strings rub against the abrasive racquet frame material and cause the strings to break. Similarly, when the bumper guard wears down, it exposes the strings to the court surface such that if you scrape the racquet on the court it could cut the strings.
Grommet/bumper guards
No, we don’t repair racquets. If the frame of your racquet is cracked we can’t re-string it. For frame warranty, contact your racquet manufacturer.
