How choose the right tennis string?
Select a multifilament or synthetic gut for comfort and power, a polyester string for control and spin, or a hybrid for a mix of both. Next, consider the string’s gauge (thickness), with thinner gauges offering more power and feel and thicker gauges providing greater durability and control. Finally, choose a tension based on your playing style
Higher Tension:
Tighter strings result in less string bed deformation, providing more shot precision and accuracy.
Lower Tension:
Looser strings allow for more “pocketing” and “grabbing” of the ball, leading to greater energy transfer and more power.
Which Tension Is Right for You?
Use this simple guide based on your playing style:
Player Type | Recommended Tension | Reason |
| Beginner | 52–57 lbs | More control and comfort |
| Intermediate | 50–55 lbs | Balanced control and playability |
| Advanced / Power Hitter | 48–53 lbs (poly) | More spin and control with fast swings |
| Touch / Serve & Volley | 55–60 lbs (multi/gut) | Precision and feel at the net |
