Re-stringing Service

 I, Martijn Schenning, have been playing tennis since 1992 and have been re-stringing rackets since 1995. I offer a friendly and highly individual stringing service and provide sound advice on the best string types and tensions to complement your style of play. My re-stringing prices are highly competitive compared to most sports shops. In addition, it is possible to get your badminton raquet re-strung with the SP Nano-70 string, a allround thin badminton raquet string.

Why have your racket re-strung?
As a general rule you should re-string your racket as many times per year as you play per week. This will ensure a minimum standard of string performance. Typically, strings will "bag out" and lose most of their life after 30-40 playing hours (if they don't break first). This is a gradual process, so many players don't notice until they have their racket re-strung.

But what if you haven't used your racket?
It is generally thought that after 6 months of inactivity your racket is in need of a re-string as the tension loss is such that the playing characteristics have changed.

What tension should you string your racket?
A lower string tension will produce more power at the expense of control. This lower tension is also better for your arm as there will be less vibration from the frame. Higher tension means a tighter stringbed which will give more control but less power. Furthermore, thinner strings have more grip on the tennisball and will produce more spin.
