Tennis strings have as much or more of an impact on your game than your racket itself, since your goal is to hit the ball with your strings, not the racket. Depending on how your strings react when the ball hits them, you'll experience different levels of control, power, vibration and shock. Understanding the differences among tennis strings will help you pick the best set for playability and comfort.

String Basics

Strings come in different materials and gauges, or thicknesses. Thinner strings break more often, but provide more topspin. Rough strings provide more topspin than smooth strings. Nylon strings are durable, provide more control and are less expensive. Kevlar and polyester strings are more durable but provide less control. Multifilament and natural gut strings offer the most control but at a higher cost.
