Your string question
I have several racquets, one of which is newly strung, but hasn't been played in X weeks. When should I re-string it? At what point does a string start to weaken?
Sandra's expert tip
The slackening begins immediately after stringing. Even a covering that lies unplayed in the corner is no longer “fresh” after months. Whether and to what extent you notice the loss of tension while playing depends on various factors: sensitivity of the player, material quality of the string, quality of stringing, time of use. Therefore, if you have several rackets, it always makes sense to label the rackets individually and note the stringing date.
Many players string their rackets at intervals so that a freshly strung racket is regularly available and the older one is used in training.
