INJURIES

Arm Injury Considerations

It is extremely important that you make your racket technician aware of any arm injuries you have, such as tennis elbow.​

This will ensure that you are given the correct advice on what string type and tension you should have when stringing your tennis racket.

The wrong string or tension could aggravate your injury whereas the right string and tension could help with your recovery.

TENSION

What Tension Should I Have?

String tension is how tight or loose the strings are pulled in the frame of your tennis racket. It is just as important as what string you use in your tennis racket.

A higher tension gives greater control while a lower tension will generate more power.

To be sure you get the best string tension for your game we will recommend the ideal tension depending on the string type you choose along with other information you provide us.

Professional advice

I needed advice on what to string my tennis racket with and what tension I should use after returning to tennis after many years out.

Pete was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, it is certainly helpful that he is a tennis coach with decades of experience and not just a stringer.

Not only did I receive an excellent service but the price was very reasonable, I won’t go anywhere else now.
