Restringing - Tennis

With all the racket restring services I offer I look to provide my customers with that little bit more in terms of quality and convenience.

It is acutely important to get a good playing finish with tennis rackets. The loads on tennis rackets are much higher than the other rackets and the tension in each string has a bearing on playability. As a standard I will string your tennis racket proportionally.

Basically, proportional stringing creates a string bed with the same relative loading across the entire racket. It takes more time but delivers a profesisonal feel to the performance of the racket right from the start.

Stringing Options

In terms of the strings performance the owner should consider what he/she most wants to improve in their game:

Less Tension

A racket strung at a lower tension will be more forgiving in the shot and provide more power. Generally better for players still developing their game.

More Tension

Provides greater control but requires a greater level of ability to be able to make use of the extra control. Comes at the sacrifice of power.

Strings and Prices (Currently in stock).

Babolat Pro Hurricane is a polyester based durability string designed to meet the needs of top tournament players. For Pro Hurricane, Babolat has introduced a new construction process called Technology XFP which utilizes Babolat's latest string material Xtrem Futur Polymer. We have found Pro hurricane to offer even more spin and feel in 17 gauge form, but with slightly less durability compared to the 16 gauge version. Pro Hurricane is the string of choice for Andy Roddick, Fernando Gonzalez, Ivan Ljubicic, and Ashley Harkleroad. The cost of the restring including pick-up and delivery is £30.

Tecnifibre Blackcode uses ThermoCore technology to create a more elastic polyester core, reducing shock and offering better playability than most polyester strings. Pentagonal shape for increased spin and feel. The cost of the restring including collection and delivery is £25.

Yvonex Tour Super 850 Pro is the best synthetic gut string that I have played with. It is a players string- It has a nice feel (not too soft, just right), they playability is excellent not too powerful, great topspin, and above average durability for a multi. The string also holds tension well till the end. £30.

Pro's pro Top Spin - Aimed at those players who want to add an extra element of spin to their shots, it has raised filaments for extra ball bite. Good multi-filament string. £25.

Pro's pro Clay Court Plus - Multifilament with outer wraps for increased durability. £25
