[@thomasmedeiros5722]

In my experience how often players restring is determined by their level of commitment and finances. I am retired but use to string professionally for many years. Some occasional recreational players resting when strings break once or twice a year. They could not notice if their strings lost tension. Other players were playing 4-7 days a week and breaking strings every week or two. Personally I was not a string breaker but I usually restring one of my frames each week in synthetic. I would use older string job for teaching, the new strings for competition and the one week old for practice. Always restring at least two if I played a tournament.

[@DreamstoRealLife]

I play professionally and my strings last 8 hrs or max 12 hrs of playing, normally breaks around 8 to 10 hours. If it get to 12 hours I preffer to cut the strings and put NEW ones. Every tournament I put NEW strings to have always a good tensión and fresh strings. I play with red code 18 gauge at 47lbs with babolat Rafa.

[@Better_Call_Raul]

Strung racquet with Tecnifibre Multifilament X1 Biphase at 55 lbs. Played 8 hours per week. After 5 months it still plays well. Not spraying long. Tension must be around 40 lbs now. This must mean I am not sensitive to tension loss and like strings loose. Strings are frayed but still like the way it plays. Will not change strings until it breaks or starts spraying long.

[@stylistxxx]

Multifilament is nice but if your racket is 16/19 pattern just moves around too much

[@thebeardedgolfer9819]

From a high level pro stringer. ‘’A pro player using poly strings as a full or hybrid, the poly strung at 50lbs and up will last as it was designed to perform during a solid practice session for no more that 45 minutes, maybe 2 hours if a mixed practice with volley’s and slices, and maybe 25 to 30 minutes for an all serve practice session. This is as they were designed to perform, peak performance times. They will last longer of course as in no breaking but will no longer respond as well and for poly the tail off is pretty swift, hence the pro’s changing racquets and stringing so often. An amateur who has far less power can certainly enjoy the performance for considerably longer in the higher tension ranges but would likely benefit from backing off the tension, going for a much more comfortable multi, rather than poly. Hight level multi in the solid hitting pro practice session, the 45 min for poly, will maintain tension up to four times longer but rarely last more than two hours without breaking due to notch wear and tensile deformity break points. From the mouth of doubles wizard Daniel Nestor, he used to string poly in the mid to high 50’s and partially due to the incredible cost of restringing, experimented all the way down to 20lbs and found he was able to still control the ball(doubles play) at the highest level and get 10 to 20 times the longevity and the string would maintain the same quality of play throughout it’s life. Cost went way down, power was easy and it became a dance of racquet face control. As Daniel was wrapping up career in the face of the new era of spin blasting, it is a question mark as to whether that strategy would work in the current game, he was just an absolute master at doubles. I still believe the thought of a racquet as heavy as you can comfortably handle for three long battled sets and strings as loose as you can comfortably control for the same stands the test of time. The weight helps with racquet stability, momentum and spin transfer to ball, helps prevent elbow damage and softer strings are also easier on the elbow and give easy power, as long as you can control the face angle well. Nadal goes through 150-200 frames a year and say near average four hours of practice, warmup or match four to fives days a week and changes racquets generally no more than 25 minutes or seven games. In a 4 hour match he will go through 10 racket changes. Add that all up for a year would be somewhere north of 2000-2400 string jobs a year. $100 000 in string jobs for the year. Maybe time for a tournament where they have to use a racquet till the strings break like we do and we will see how good they play then.

[@paulh6591]

So my late Dad's Pancho Gonzales tennis racket, which has been in the garage since the 60s and never serviced, might possibly need a restringing?

[@ObjectiveCoder]

The counter intuitive part of dead Tennis strings is that the string bed becomes soft (low tension), but the sensation when hitting the ball is that it feels stiff and hard and that the balls leaves the racket very quickly (because even if it's a soft string bed, it's a non-flexing one). I say: When it feels like the ball spends little time with your strings, and you have no control, restring. Same hold true for power: A newly strung string bed can feel a lot softer and more powerful than a dead string bed. That's because elasticity and low tension are NOT the same thing.

[@Better_Call_Raul]

Why didn't he do a test on a multifilament string???

[@davidm.crispjr.9683]

There is an app for your phone called "Racquet Tune". I use it to test my strings. Amazingly accurate. At least enough for us recreational players. When my strings fall below 40lbs. of tension, I cut them out and restring....Pretty helpful little app!

[@Better_Call_Raul]

Just get a $40 String Meter device that physically measures the tension!J The String Meter lets you know if your racquet is strung to your desired tension and when its time to restring Easy to use, just align the pins where strings intersect, twist until the unit is in line with main, then note your reading. Great for players who want to measure the consistency of their string jobs. Great for players who want to monitor their string tension loss over time to know when to restring. Great for personal racquet stringers looking to test and validate their work.

It’s tennis string, not a laboratory. Technically he should have used the same racket, same string, same tennis balls, hooked up to a hitting machine he designed and built to hit with the same force at the same location, with lots of lasers to look scientific, with the only variable being time in the perfectly crafted machine he made. Then of course he must publish his results and have them peer reviewed. Since he didn’t, he clearly is deceiving us, it’s fake science, he voted trump, and we must give a thumbs down.

Why didn't you do a tension loss test on a multfilament string? Where would that fall?

[@KreationPhotography]

it depends on how you want it. When using full poly, ideally you should change strings after 2 games or so cause it looses tension so quickly, but this would be such an expense so I reckon 10-14h of playability is good. In my case this is every month or so. If you are just playing for fun with your wife/bro and just rallies and not much competition then no need to change them so often. In that case yes...4 months or so is fine cause you wont need the best of the strings to have fun

[@DreamstoRealLife]

Correct, I play tennis professionally and I change my strings every week or so, around 8 to 12 hours of play in each racket, when I play with big hitters the string break before getting to 8 hours and if I play with club players the string will last more than 12 hrs but the tension will be awful for me. I play with red code 18 gauge at 47 lbs.

It seems to be a range of time for all strings lasting from Freshly strung to Completely dead. Maybe we can say Completely dead string breaks when struck?

[@jeffhermida4788]

nice video. in regards to how often to restring to prevent dead strings, depends on how often and how hard the players play and their feel. for me, i play 3xweek and trying to hit the ball at 80% power all the time. I notice my strings are dead after 2 weeks. so i restring both my rackets every 2 weeks at 60lbs.

[@spyghetti]

Great insight, I have only one racquet that did indeed crack in that spot you pointed out in the throat (Wilson Blade 18x20 CV) and it was probably due to tension issue strung hybrid but I string my racquets often although sometimes I experiment with pretty thin poly mains with synth crosses, I could see that some varieties of poly lost so much tension that the synth was probably holding strong with some really dead poly. Although I've had hybrid setup in all my frames for years this Blade CV is the only one that cracked (visibly, maybe others micro cracked unknown at this point), which is sad.. and truth be told I was on a cyclone 19g / 18g kick for a long time with no issues. Cyclone tour has been a different experience (at least the red 18g) seems to become unplayable quickly for me, I've tried full cyclone tour in a 18x20 strike and it's literally garbage after a few hours or a couple of sessions, unplayable in a more controllable string pattern.

I can't say I've ever heard anyone recommend keeping poly in a racquet for 6 months before.

I think around 6 to 8 weeks is a reasonable compromise for most serious rec players who don't break them before then.

I agree 100% I usually restring at 2 months/80-100 hrs.

[@darrenyee6088]

The poly loses tension much faster than the cross that is 2-4 lbs tighter. So if the poly loses 10 lbs and crosses lose 2 lbs over 1 month or so of play. The cross is now 10-12 lbs tighter and putting pressure on the frame.

dead means their useful life has ended. The strings lose tension and become like a trampoline with a lot of power but very little control = dead.

[@footfault123]

I don't think your conclusion that synthetic holds tension better than poly is true. They just stretch more. To make your claim, you would need to measure how much the string stretched in the stringing process, then divide by the cut-snap distance. Then compare both ratios to see whether synthetic holds tension better than poly. What do you think?

[@trevorbutler785]

You cannot just bang a racket strings and say 'Oh that ping sounds right' Tension, string type etc will ping at different musical notes. So you can not use this method alone. You should be reviewing how much the strings slide back into position for example, do your strings look all over the place between rallies. You have to use the science to know what is going on. Stick to a simple rule, if you play once a week I would suggest you replace your string every 3 - 6 months. If you play 3 times a week I would restring every 2 - 3 months. If you play regularly you will notice the difference - plus you are investing in a sport you like to play so why wouldn't spend some money on something you like. And if you don't restring - thats ok the racket will still work anyway, but you are only making the game a little harder on yourself

[@josephsantana3094]

Whats it mean if my poly strings start to feel "springy" after only 5-6 hours of play? Tension loss? I'm new to polys but got solinco confidential 17g hybrid with solinco vanquish and they felt amazing for a while but last night while playing I felt like they were very springy which is the best word I can think of to describe it.

[@leok619]

It means time to restring. By the 8-10 hour mark poly strings are done, at 15 hours they are useless. If you use poly, plan on restringing once a month.

What he meant is that the more tension there is , the more the string is stretched and pulled on. So when you cut it it releases that force. Basically the higher the tension, the more it leaves a gap when you cut it

In the past, the min rule of thumb was to re-string in a year the no. of times you played in a week. So if you play 4 times a week you should have at least 4 string jobs a year. This was for nylon or synthetic strings. Now with poly, I suggest you double that!

[@oliverdesouza5741]

Whilst it is completely true that Polys lose tension quicker than Multi/Synguts, do they become unplayable? I have an Ultra Tour with a full bed of RPM Blast that is at least a year old and whilst it may not be fresh, it still plays fine. I also have a Pro-Staff Surge 5.1, which has a full bed of 16 year-old Sensation 15L, and that also plays fine! Perhaps I'm not quite the level of player for fresh strings, I think I prefer them after a few months!

[@erichaynes7502]

I can get a good 100 hours/2 months out of poly's. A very good racket sometimes makes up for the strings. As long as you can control the ball you are just fine. Once you lose control then you probably should restring your racket.

[@gofish721]

Maybe you can answer me a question about dead strings I never quite get... this vid and others say when strings go "dead" the ball flies off farther and faster than you want and control becomes an issue. Loss of tension they say creates higher launch angles and faster ball speeds, and thast make me think the strings are too lively at the lowered tension of older strings... the opposite of dead is being lively. You described the dead strings as trampolines. That seems like a lively term. My experience is when my polys get older and I can rip some of my fastest shots ever. I can play with more power, but true to theory the control goes way down and shots fly long, especially on volleys. So why do they call them dead? Also, if strings lose their elasticity, why do they still spring back to a flat string bed after every hit when the ball stretches from flatness? When a rubber band loses it, a 2 inch round one stretched to 3 inches stays at 3 inches when released. It seems that the older ploy strings pocket the ball more as tension drops so it seems they stretch more not less before snapping back to flat every time. Their elasticity seems to go up not down like a fresh bed that pockets very little.

[@erichaynes7502]

It's a little tricky(and I'm certainly not an expert) but you're right when your poly's get older they lose tension/more trampoline effect. thus, this will give you more power but less control. You'll love the extra power but hate the loss of control so you really gotta restring at that point(for me usually 2-3 months hitting 15 hours a week). I guess they're considered dead because their useful life has ended. Here's how poly's work for me: 1st day: Wow, these strings are great, a little hard to control but definitely great. 1st 2 months: These strings are great, so great they're winning me games. 3rd month: What the heck, I can't control these strings like the last 2 months!
