String Guide

String Choices

There is a bewildering array of string choices in terms of construction, stiffness, durability,comfort, control, spin and power. String selection is extremely personal and thats why it's essential you develop a working relationship with a knowledgable stringer you trust. Your starting order is a reference only. Your tennis string needs will evolve and your stringer will help guide you through. So for that reason, there really isnt any single string we would recommend for, or against. Every string has key benefits that compromise some other property. For that reason our stringers access Stringingpedia database to compose the right string or hybrid string to best suit your game.

We also officially partner and liaise closely with French string manufacturer Dyreex. Through that relationship we can say we know our product ranges in detail and have produced a helpful visual guide to their offerings. Remember, we can order in a set of any string you want if our stock string is not to your preference.

High Quality Value

Our UK stringer is Justin Espie, UKRSA Certified for stringing and racquet customisation.

Justin initiallly learnt from the best (his brother - he had to say that) then decided to formalise his training with a UKRSA qualification.

Justin focuses on Club player restringing and consults on injury prevention. Its amazing how effective tweaking string composition and tension can be.

He stocks a wide range of specially selected string ideal for the club/league player. He has personally play tested extensively every tennis string in his range so he is best placed to recommend based on a players specific needs. He uses a Penta Premium 8600 floor standing machine with a high precision electronic constant pull tension head for high quality results at great value for money. He also uses the industry standard Beers ERT 300 computer to ensure consistency of Dynamic Tension, the true measure of stringbed stiffness.
