How to Choose the Right Tennis String & Tension

Choosing the right tennis string and tension can make a huge difference to your performance and comfort on court. The ideal setup depends on your playing style, level, and how often you play. Our experienced stringers are always happy to advise, but the guide below gives a helpful starting point.

Choosing the Right String Type

• Polyester Strings: Ideal for aggressive players who generate their own power. They offer excellent control, spin and durability but can feel firmer on the arm.
• Multifilament Strings: Softer and more comfortable, making them a great option for players who want extra power or suffer from arm or elbow discomfort.
• Synthetic Gut: A well-balanced option offering good all-round performance at a more affordable price point.
• Natural Gut: The premium choice for feel, comfort and power. Best suited to experienced players who want the ultimate performance.
• Hybrid Setups: A combination of two different strings, usually polyester in the mains and a softer string in the crosses, offering a blend of control, spin and comfort.

Choosing the Right String Tension

• Lower Tension (e.g. 45-50 lbs): More power and comfort, ideal for players who want help generating pace.
• Mid Tension (e.g. 50-55 lbs): A balanced option offering a mix of power and control, suitable for most club players.
• Higher Tension (e.g. 55-60 lbs): Increased control and precision, preferred by advanced and competitive players.

If you are unsure what tension to choose, our stringers can recommend the best setup based on your racket, string choice and playing style. We can also adjust tension to help with arm comfort or to fine-tune performance.

Not Sure What to Choose?

If you are unsure which string or tension is right for you, bring your racket into our store and speak to our team. We will assess your playing style, level and any injury concerns before recommending a setup that helps you get the most out of your racket and have it restrung so your play to your maximum ability.

Badminton & Squash Racket Restringing

Our restringing service is not just for tennis. We also restring badminton and squash rackets using suitable strings and tensions for each sport. Whether you want extra power from the back of the court, more touch at the net or improved control, we will set up your racket to suit your preferences.

Pricing & Turnaround

Restringing prices vary depending on the string chosen and the type of racket. We offer options for all levels, from value strings through to premium performance models. As a guide:

• Bring your own string: £18 per racket.

• Standard strings: Prices start from £22.99, with premium options costing more depending on brand and type.

• Same-day restringing is available on most days, subject to store opening hours and racket volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does the restringing service take?

A: Our in-store restringing is available as a same-day service for most rackets. If we are particularly busy or you drop off late in the day, it is usually ready by the next day.

Q: Can I choose my preferred string tension?

A: Yes. You can specify your preferred tension and we will work to that. If you are unsure, we are happy to recommend an optimal tension based on your sport, style of play and any arm or shoulder issues.

Q: What if I cannot visit the store?

A: We offer a collection and delivery / postal restringing service. You can send your racket to us and we will restring and return it. Please contact us by phone or email for details on how to book this service.

Q: Do you offer hybrid stringing options?

A: Yes. We can provide hybrid string setups using different strings in the mains and crosses to optimise spin, control and comfort. This is popular with players who like the control of polyester combined with the comfort of a softer string.

Q: How often should I restring my racket?

A: A simple guide is to restring as many times per year as you play per week. For example, if you play three times a week, aim to restring around three times a year. Competitive players or heavy hitters may need to restring more frequently.

Q: Why is restringing important?

A: Fresh strings restore power, control and comfort. Over time, strings lose tension, feel dead and can increase the risk of arm or shoulder injury. Regular restringing keeps your racket feeling consistent and helps you play your best tennis, badminton or squash.

Q: When should I get my racket restrung?

A: You should get your racket restrung if the strings have broken, lost tension, feel dead, or if your control and comfort have dropped. Regular restringing helps maintain performance and reduces the risk of arm discomfort.

Q: Where can I get my racket restrung in London?

A: You can get your racket restrung at VKS in Ealing, London. We provide professional racket restringing for tennis, badminton and squash using premium strings and electronic stringing machines. Same-day restringing is available for most rackets dropped off in store, and we also offer a convenient postal service if you are unable to visit us in person.
