Stringing Over The Range

"Can I get my racket strung above the recommended range?" The first thing to consider when answering this question is why? Many of the people who want their racket string 5lbs or more over the max are trying to get depth control. One line of thought is that if you have to go that far over to gain control, you have the wrong racket. A less powerful racket would play better and do so without having to go to tension extremes to make it work. Another thing to consider is if your racket is under a year old, there is a warranty on it. Stringing over the max recommended tension can void that warranty. If you are looking for more control without going over the recommended range, a poly string may be an answer. Poly strings are stiffer and less powerful. While there are some negatives to poly strings, many players find the extra control they need this way. While not the best thing to do, going a little over the max (less than 5lbs) isn't a big deal and something we see from time to time. Over that, it is not recommended. If control is a problem, stop in and we'd be glad to show you the string options that may work for you.

Common Mistake When Trying Rackets

A mistake some people make when using our racket and paddle Demo Program is being too quick to make a decision.
The beauty of our Demo Program is that you can try many different rackets and paddles. As you go, you can eliminate what isn't working and narrow it down to the ones that you're hitting well.
As you are trying them, we recommend that you hit for an hour or more with each one. This allows you time to get used to the feel and know if its working or not. With new rackets like Wilson's Clash series, this is even more important due to their unique feel.
Another thing to do is to hit with some of the people you most often hit with. It's another way to make sure you'll know how well a given racket or paddle is hitting for you.
Our best advice, take your time and enjoy the demo process. Taking the time to hit with the rackets and paddles enough will ensure you get the right racket for your game
