Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) String Questions

1. Where can I get the string patterns?
2. Approximately how many racquets can I string from a 660 ft. reel of string?
3. Do you have the string comparison chart?
4. Do you have any type of string package that comes with the stringing machines, or even a discount on strings when I order a stringing machine?
5. How should the strings be stored in order to minimize aging while on the shelf?
6. What is the difference between nylon, kevlar, and synthetic gut strings when dealing in performance and the rate they break?
7. I am finding that monofilament strings tend to stretch a lot during stringing, so much so that the actual tension is less than the set tension. Just wondering if you have experienced anything similar. If so, what steps do you take to prevent tension loss (e.g. set tension higher so that it settles at desired tension; pre-stretch string)?
8. I have heard many great things about Eagnas tennis strings. I was just wondering if there is any way I can get a sample of Eagnas Feeling Tennis string. My friend recommended it to me and said it's the best string ever. It's easy on the arm and provides great control. He won't use anything else. If this string is "it" I promise to stock up on it. I break my strings very frequently so I'll be buying it over and over again. I hope it is ok with you to send me a sample.
9. I have a couple guys that they were breaking them every 10 days or so. They have a lot of slice and top spin both on ground strokes and their serves. Do you have any string that might give them longer life?
10. My string does not last long time, it only lasts a couple of days.

1. Where can I get the string patterns?
   

   You can get string patterns from the racquet vendors, or you can get them from the internet. Here are some locations:

   Dunlop Sports Racquet Stringing Instructions
   E-force Racquet Stringing Instructions
   Prince Racquet Stringing Instructions
   
   Wilson Racquet Stringing Instructions
   
   
2. Approximately how many racquets can I string from a 660 ft. reel of string?
   

   A 660 ft. reel will string about 18 to 20 racquets.

3. Do you have the string comparison chart?
   

   No, we do not have the string comparison chart.
   
   There are only few string manufacturers around the world. They are the OEM string suppliers to all the importers and wholesalers. The importers will create a special trade name for a particular string to distinguish it from the other importers' identical strings. By this way the importer can set up his own price structure. But we have no way to know which string is identical to the other strings. The string manufacturers will not supply this kind of information to the importers and wholesalers. It is their trade secret.
   
   Therefore, one importer can mark up his string price for $15.00 per set. The other string suppler will sell this identical string with his own trade name for only $5.00 each. The difference is that the high-price string supplier have to recruit his heavy advertisement expensive, higher overhead cost, etc.

4. Do you have any type of string package that comes with the stringing machines, or even a discount on strings when I order a stringing machine?
   

   No, we provide the best prices on the stringing machines and strings. The string package means "forced purchase". The customers pay the higher price to get the stringing machine and string package.

5. How should the strings be stored in order to minimize aging while on the shelf?
   

   You just need to store the strings in normal condition, not in warm, hot, or cold condition, not under the sun.

6. What is the difference between nylon, kevlar, and synthetic gut strings when dealing in performance and the rate they break?
   

   The nylon is durable, but the performance is not that great. The Kevlar is very durable and the performance is better than the nylon. The Synthethic gut is not durable; but the performance is better than the nylon and kevlar.

7. I am finding that monofilament strings tend to stretch a lot during stringing, so much so that the actual tension is less than the set tension. Just wondering if you have experienced anything similar. If so, what steps do you take to prevent tension loss (e.g. set tension higher so that it settles at desired tension; pre-stretch string)?
   

   You could manually pre-stretch string. If your stringing machine has the pre-stretch function, you could use the pre-stretch function to stretch the string. If your stringing machine does not have the pre-stretch function, you could just need to pull the string twice (double pull).

8. I have heard many great things about Eagnas tennis strings. I was just wondering if there is any way I can get a sample of Eagnas Feeling Tennis string. My friend recommended it to me and said it's the best string ever. It's easy on the arm and provides great control. He won't use anything else. If this string is "it" I promise to stock up on it. I break my strings very frequently so I'll be buying it over and over again. I hope it is ok with you to send me a sample.
   

   We do not provide the sample strings. But you can just purchase the sample set 40 feet to test to see whether you like it or not.

9. I have a couple guys that they were breaking them every 10 days or so. They have a lot of slice and top spin both on ground strokes and their serves. Do you have any string that might give them longer life?
   

   You can consider the Poly Nova 16 string. It is a very strong string.

10. My string does not last long time, it only lasts a couple of days.
    

    If you need the strong strings, you shall consider the Poly Nove 16 string. It is more durable.
