The Squash Pod recommends playing around with the tension and string. If you have just purchased a factory string racket you may find that its worth exploring a tension and string that works better for your game.
- Have a look at the types of string available and have a think about what you prefer. https://www.string-doctor.com/string-choices-1
- Have a look at this link from the String Doctor outlining tension ranges. https://www.string-doctor.com/tensions-tips
- See what strings the pros are using and copy them. You can purchase usually 9 meter rolls which is enough for your chosen stringer to then string at your requested tension. Your stringer should charge you less for providing the strings yourself. https://www.string-doctor.com/pros-corner-1
- If you are still hooked with stringing take a look at how a racket is restrung. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAgKSZu9PIU#action=share
