The stringing of the raquets, the quality of the strings we use have a big influence on the games
quality and enjoyment. That's why the ABC Tennis School uses only high quality strings.

 

ISOSPEED strings are pre-stretched. Pre-stretching the string core or the entire string reduces the loss of tension to a minimum. At the same time, this allows for lower tension weights. http://www.isospeed.com/en/

From 2002 and then 5 years onwards, LUXILON tennis strings were selected to be the official string of the ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals). Luxilon is now the number 1 string on tour. As from 2004, Luxilon Big Banger tennis strings was and still is the official string of the WTA (Women's Tennis Association).

How often should I restring my tennis racquet?
The common rule of thumb is to restring as often per year as you play per week, but at least twice per year. This is just a rough guideline. Some types of string lose tension faster than others, heavy spin hitters wear strings out much faster than flat hitters, and some players  seem quite happy to let the strings decide when to be replaced -- by breaking.

What's the best string tension to protect my arm?
Lower string tensions prolong the contact between ball and strings, spreading the impact shock over a longer period of time and this reducing stress on your arm.
