In the second part of the tennis gloss "Anders hing'looks" by Heinz Schwarz , author of the book "Are you still playing real tennis or are you already winning something?" it's about mistakes. Yes, we all know them more than well, right? After all, tennis is and remains a game of mistakes. But why do we waste points that we thought were safe, why do we leave a 100% chance in the net or on the fence? The explanation is quickly found to be a technical error: too little spin, not closing the racket enough, and whatever other crazy things we can think of. The fact that all the mistakes that happen to you have something to do with technology - Heinz clears that up in his gloss entitled " Not everything that goes wrong in tennis is also a technical mistake ".
Find out why errors in distance and errors in motivation are common sources of error, especially in hobbies and leisure activities, and how you can combat them. As always, very entertainingly written - enjoy reading!
In our string world today we will find out a lot about tennis strings and their importance for every player interview with Sandra Kirschbaum It is exciting to find out how the family business has developed over the last 35 years. But not only the company, but also the world of strings itself has changed immensely in recent years.
Let Sandra take you on a journey through time and find out how you can find YOUR perfect tennis string
What types of strings are there? Which parameters are actually important and relevant when selecting a string? What do you need to consider when stringing your racket? Questions upon questions... and who among you knows the answer to all of them? For everyone who now has one or two question marks on their faces, we have created a small ABC of strings that will briefly and concisely give you an understanding of the basics when it comes to tennis strings and stringing. If that's not enough for you, you can send your "string question" directly to us and our string expert Sandra Kirschbaum. So that absolutely no string question remains unanswered and you can find your optimal stringing!
It is a very special pleasure for us to have Heinz Schwarz , the author of the book "Are you still playing real tennis or are you already winning something?" for a more than entertaining gloss. Under the title “Different hing`looks” Heinz will introduce you to his very own perspective on the topic of “real tennis” in a three-part series.
“The idea of real tennis, which clearly dominates our industry, is not a closed scientific system but rather tennis teacher folklore that is passed on from one generation to another and which, let's not hide it, is also expected by the customer. However, this system is designed in such a way that, in addition to the undoubted, although usually not so spectacular, main effects (as suggested by commercial reasons), it produces a lot of irritation and a lot of stress as system-related side effects, among the students, among the teachers, between the teachers and the students and so on among the teachers,” says Heinz.
“Anders hing'wacht” is therefore primarily about perhaps better balancing the main and side effects of the desired and goal images of “real tennis”. New food for thought, perspectives and very practical examples will certainly inspire you! Let's start with part one, which is called "Two tennis teachers - three opinions". Have fun while reading!
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.

Hit better and avoid frame hits 😉 – All joking aside...
The stringing is always very sensitive at the eyelets, because at the moment of contact with the ball the string cannot move at the edge and may be bent at the eyelet. In the worst case, and depending on the force of the ball contact (e.g. during impact), this can also happen with fresh strings. Before stringing, a good stringer checks whether the eyelets are still intact, because depending on their condition, the eyelet can tear and thus lose its protective function. If the eyelet is defective, a Teflon tube can help or, if available, replacing the entire eyelet tape.
If the bat is still very new, you could send the bat to the supplier.

Now let's be honest: which of you knows a lot about tennis strings? While choosing the right tennis racket is often like a small doctoral thesis, the choice of string is usually not given any attention. Actually completely incomprehensible, because the right string can have a major influence on your playing, regardless of whether you are a competitive or hobby player. We believe that one reason for the widespread ignorance is the rather high level of complexity in the “string universe”. Or do the terms monofilament or multifilament mean something to you? We want to gradually bring a little bit of light into the “string darkness” world of strings
Hybrid strings are a good, suitable way to combine the properties of different strings on one racket. However, it is important not to lose sight of the desired goal and not to get bogged down in testing.
In my consultations I often have cases where a player combines above-average durability with a sensitive cross string and the overall setup only lasts a few hours. In this case, it would make sense to forego durability along the length and get more comfort, so that you can possibly choose a slightly more durable comfort string crosswise and the overall package provides sufficient comfort and lasts longer overall.
Testing hybrids is time-consuming and I recommend determining the main string first. It's best to test 2-3 possible candidates as a full covering, as this way you can feel the properties more clearly. Once you have decided on your favorite string, only test a suitable cross string if necessary.

Players are often given a string without any questions about their playing style. However, string advice is part of a good stringing service, because many criteria influence the choice of string: which racket do I play, how often do I play, how powerfully do I play, how old am I, what hitting technique do I have, how long are my balls currently to the baseline with my previous string, do I have any complaints etc etc.
All of these criteria influence the choice of different material types or the adjustment of diameter and covering weight.
