When to Restring: The basic rule of thumb still applies: Players should restring as many times each year as they play each week. But better yet, have your string tension checked regularly, and restring after losing 20 to 30 percent of the freshly strung value.
A few other general guidelines: Lower string tensions generate more power.Higher string tensions produce more ball control.Thinner string generally produces more power.Thicker strings generally produce more spin.A more open stringbed tends to generate more spin.Pre-stretching string before installation will generally reduce the amount of tension lost after stringing.
