Natural Gut Tennis String

Made by drying fibres from cow gut, or intestine, many players consider natural gut tennis string as the best in terms of elasticity, tension stability and playability. But they are very expensive and weather sensitive. Because of these traits, many of the pros play natural gut tennis string, but for the normal amateur tennis player, other tennis strings will provide better price vs performance.

Synthetic Tennis Strings

Polyester Tennis Strings

As a stiff and durable material, polyester tennis string provides the least amount of breakage. Reduced string movement allows players to apply spin consistently, and makes it popular with both amateur and professional tennis players.

Nylon Tennis String

Nylon is the most common material for amateur tennis players. Nylon tennis strings are made from a single nylon core and various wear resistant filaments, sometimes referred to as a "multifilament string". Multifilament Nylon tennis string reduces the tension loss experienced with single filament nylon strings.  Good elasticity combined with low cost make it a popular choice.

Hybrid Strings

When a tennis string breaks, it is almost always the main string, as it experiences the most movement due to the greater length. Hybrid tennis strings improve performance by using a more durable string for the main lines compared with the cross strings. There is a large variety of combinations for different purposes. Our hybrid tennis string section covers the benefits of each combination.
