TOP TIP: When should get your racket restrung?

Equipment you use can make a huge difference to the way you play. In this case your racket strings are probably neglected the most. A lot of players will wait for their strings to break before restringing, however all strings will stretch at least a 1cm and up to a couple of centimetres under tension, meaning your racket would lose tension sat in your bag. Over time if you notice the following, then it would be time to get a restring:

- Racket sounds dead

- Strings are loose

- Haven’t been changed in over 6 months

As a rule of thumb, I usually recommend the amount of times you play a week is the amount of restrings you over a year.
