String

Tennis String Superstore! Tennis racquet string is a confusing topic for many tennis players. There are a few basic things to consider when selecting a racket string, such as gauge, composition, power and durability. Also, it is good to know if you have tennis elbow considerations or if you want a tennis string to help you hit with topspin. Starting with string gauge, remember that the lower the gauge the thicker the tennis string, and the higher the gauge the thinner the tennis string. So 16g is thicker than 17g is thicker than 18g.

The Four Basic Types of Tennis String
Here is an overview of the four basic string types in terms of composition.

Natural Gut: The undisputed champion of tennis strings. Gives both power and feel. Good choice for injury prevention and vibration dampening.
Synthetic String with Solid Core: Offers a wide range of playability, power, or control. Its low cost is an attractive feature to players who go through lots of string.
Synthetic String with Multifilament Construction: Offers the most performance for the money. Aims to replicate natural gut at a much lower cost.
Polyester and Polyester Hybrid String: Excellent durability and power. Can be hard on the arm, however. Frequently used as the mains in a hybrid set-up.
