Tennis Strings
Polyester for spin. Multi if the arm is sore. Gut for feel. Hybrid when you want both. Start here, then pick up sealed sets on Top Tennis Strings.
String families
Polyester
- For full swings and spin, with a firmer feel
- Can be harder on the arm
- Often goes dead before it breaks
Multifilament
- Softer, more pocket, easier on the arm
- Breaks sooner than poly for many hitters
- Our first pick for most rec adults and developing juniors
Natural gut
- Best feel and tension hold
- Costs more, and humidity care matters
- Ask us how to care for it
Hybrid
- Usually poly mains with a softer cross
- Spin plus comfort
- Buy two sealed sets and label mains vs crosses
Which string for you
Juniors & sore arms
- Most juniors stay on multi or a soft hybrid
- Adults with a full swing and a healthy arm can use poly
