A Unique Reality in Tennis

Tennis has a reality that is unique, and a tough one to accept for some players. The better you get, the more often you will break strings.
In golf, as you get better, you will lose fewer balls. In tennis, as you get better, you tend to hit harder and with more spin. Hitting harder and with more spin will cause more wear and tear on the strings, causing them to break more often. Also, as you get better, the players you will be hitting with will most likely be hitting harder and with more spin. This also will cause more wear on your strings.
There is good news. The harder you hit, the more durable poly strings become a better option. Where weaker hitters will find poly strings very stiff and hard to generate depth with, harder hitters can overcome this and get good results with the added durability of the poly strings.
One thing to keep in mind with poly strings. While they may not break as often, they will go dead after a while.  At some point, you will notice a drop off in performance, signaling time to restring.
Stop in and we will be happy to go over the string options that would be best for your game.
