Choosing the right string can have a huge impact on your game. Here's a breakdown of the main types available:
Durable, control-oriented, and great for spin. Ideal for strong hitters and advanced players. Can feel stiff and less forgiving on the arm.
Soft and arm-friendly. Made from many fibers woven together to mimic natural gut. Excellent for players seeking comfort and power.
Premium feel and playability. Offers unmatched power, comfort, and tension maintenance. Expensive and less durable, especially in damp weather.
Combining two types of string (e.g. poly on the mains + multifilament on the crosses or vica versa) offers the best of both worlds: durability and feel. Common among pros and club players alike.
I keep a good stock of the following strings but can easily order in any others as requested:
