Experts recommend:
1. 2x
- A simple rule of thumb: Restring your racquet as many times a year as you play, on average, in a week. For instance, if you play twice a week, your racquet should be restrung twice a year.
2. Listen
- When you tap a strung frame against your hand, fresh strings will produce a resonant sound or “ping”. While dead strings will produce a deep “thud”. So if you don’t hear a ping, it’s time to restring.
3. Haven’t Played
- Even if you don’t hit one shot, your racquet will lose tension. If you haven’t played for a few months, you should restring. Even the perfect racquet won’t perform if your strings have lost tension. After all, your strings are the only thing that touches the ball.
4. No Control
- When your strings lose tension, you have less control. So missing that cross-court shot by four feet doesn’t necessarily mean you are playing worse than you were last week. It could easily mean that your racquet needs new strings.
GENERAL RULE regarding string tension in hybrids !
You should always look and aim at getting a Constant String Bed Stiffness (CSBS) in your racquet.
Therefore you always string the soft string in a hybrid 2-4 lbs HIGHER than the stiff string in your hybrid - NO MATTER WHERE THE SOFT STRING IS PLACED IN THE HYBRID.
So when you hybrid a poly mains with a Prime Multi crosses, string the poly 2-4 lbs LOWER than the Prime Multi.
When you hybrid Natural/synthetic GUT mains with a poly crosses, string the Natural/synthetic gut 2-4 lbs HIGHER than the poly.
