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.

Today there's something from the "In Test" section . Because we don't just regularly win tennis rackets - we also test tennis rackets ourselves from time to time. And with great joy and as a former regional league player (hopefully) with sufficient expertise. I was particularly happy when I was able to test the DUNLOP FX500 , because I really liked this racket from the start. What I think is the perfect mix of power, control and comfort . By the way, our travel scout Marc was just as excited about this racket as I was! Find out more about my racket test and the DUNLOP FX 500 racket.
