Big NC Tennis · Stringing Guide
Intermediate & Advanced Juniors
Ages 8–12 playing serious tennis. Growing arms come first — power and comfort are non-negotiable. These strings are for players who are ready to level up but not yet ready for full poly or co-poly.

Strings for Your Level

Diadem Dark Matter 17G — Black Multifilament
$33
Tension
50–56 lbs
String life
30–45 hours
Available colors
Black
Why we recommend it
“A great all-around multifilament. Super plush comfort, lively power, and good spin for a soft string. Feels like a premium synthetic gut on steroids — reduces arm pain.”
Diadem SG Ultra 16G — Synthetic Gut
$28
Tension
52–58 lbs
String life
30–45 hours
Available colors
Natural · Black
Why we recommend it
“Premium synthetic gut with a difference. Micro-textured outer wrap gives noticeably more bite and durability than classic synthetic guts. The perfect ‘I want easy power and spin without going poly’ string.”
Diadem Evolution 17G / 18G — Monofilament
$30
Tension
50–58 lbs
String life
25–40 hours
Available colors
Natural
Why we recommend it
“The softest true monofilament on the market. Polyamide-based (not co-poly), so it delivers real spin and control but feels almost like a multifilament. The ideal first ‘poly-like’ string for intermediates or anyone with elbow concerns.”
Diadem Impulse 17G — Multifilament
$33
Tension
50–58 lbs
String life
35–50 hours
Available colors
Natural
Why we recommend it
“Our softest, most powerful multifilament — gut-like plushness at a fraction of the price. Deep pocketing, huge trampoline effect, and outstanding vibration dampening. The #1 choice for beginners, juniors 8–14, seniors, and anyone recovering from tennis elbow.”
