Are you feeling like you just aren't getting enough power and depth on your shots? It could be your strings.
There are several factors that could lead to a power loss from your strings.
- Stiff strings - for some, a stiff poly string, while durable, just doesn't return enough energy back to the ball at impact. Softer, more elastic strings can give you more depth and pop on your shots.
- Strings to tight - the tighter your strings are, the less they can give and return that energy. This means more control for many, but less power and depth.
- Strings are old - after a while, strings go dead. They lose their ability to "snap back" at impact, reducing depth, power and spin potential. A good rule of thumb for most is restring as many times in a year as you play in a week.
There are other things that can cause a reduction in power such as using dead balls, but quite often, the strings are the culprit.
