String types
Ready to restring? Book Mobile Racket at mobileracket.com. Tell them your arm history and how often you break strings.
- Synthetic gut: budget all-rounder. Fine for beginners.
- Multifilament: more comfort and power. Easier on the arm.
- Polyester (poly): control and spin for big hitters. Can feel harsh if too tight or already dead.
- Hybrid: poly mains with multi crosses (or the reverse) to mix control and comfort. Tell the stringer which is which.
- Natural gut: premium feel. Ask your stringer about care and cost.
Arm issues? Start multi or a soft hybrid, not stiff full poly cranked up. Heavy topspin? Shaped poly or a poly/multi hybrid is common. Want touch and feel? Multi or gut blends.
Amazon sets are fine if you are curious. Most players are happier handing the frame to a real machine.
