How we think about rackets
Rackets should be chosen by player profile. Weight, balance, head size, pattern and feel matter more than hype.
How we think about strings
Strings solve problems. Some players need more spin. Some need control. Some need comfort. Some simply need to restring more often because their poly is already dead.
And one of the most important things for tennis strings is how durable the string will feel after 3-5 hours and after 10-12 hours of hitting. Because some strings are amazing - but only for the first 2 hours. After this the string starts losing its snapback, tension, control and feel.
That's why we mainly focus and give so much importance for tennis strings that can hold for longer their snapback, spin, durability and control - even when the tension is already going low.
Useful starting points
- Need spin: look at spin-friendly polys and shaped strings.
- Need control: consider lower-launch control strings or denser-pattern frames.
- Need comfort: consider softer strings, hybrids or lower stiffness setups.
- Need stability: look at weight, swingweight and frame category.
