Restringing Costs
When is the "right" time to restring my racquet?
The basic rule of thumb for restringing a tennis racquet throughout the year is to restring the racquet as many times as you play in a week. For example, if you play four times per week, you should restring your racket four times per year. The strings may not show any wear, but putting a fresh set of strings in your racquet helps to perform the way the manufacturer intended.
Reason's To Restring Your Racquet
Loss of Tension - Strings lose their tension over time. Some strings, such as multifilament strings, tend to lose tension more quickly. This is because they are made with many fibers, and one characteristic of this type of string construction is that it stretches more. The more you play, the quicker the strings will lose tension. Players who keep their racquets in the heat/cold of their car may also have to restring more often, because the strings lose a significant amount of tension in the heat/cold.
Loss of Resiliency - All tennis strings have resiliency or "life." The life of the strings is their ability to return to a normal state after they are stretched. Over time, the strings lose their resiliency and begin to feel dead when the ball is hit, since they no longer have the ability to give energy back to the ball. To keep your racket performing at its best, you may want to restring it once you sense a loss of life. Your play rate can also be a factor. If you have a freshly strung racquet but do not hit a ball for 12 months, the strings will lose some of their life.
Pre-Tournament Considerations - If you are an avid tournament player, you may want to restring your racquets before each tournament. The last thing you want is to break a string and have to play with an unfamiliar racquet. If you do carry more than one racquet, make sure all of your racquets are freshly strung. This ensures a uniform feel between racquets if you have to switch.
Style of Play - Hard-hitting tennis players who play aggressively and put a lot of spin on the ball should restring their racquets more often. The strings move back and forth against each other when spin is imparted on the ball. This gnawing action causes the strings to break within hours or days of being strung, and aggressive players will find weekly restringing a necessity. If you hit a relatively flat ball, you shouldn't break your strings as often and may find the rule of thumb for restringing more appropriate.
