When and why should you replace your tennis strings?

[TomNook]

You can have a racquet with strings that are a few years old and they can still be fine. I got my dad's old racquet that was strung over 3 years ago tested by a professional stringer and his were at like 49. My hybrid that was strung by a retired tennis coach about 3 weeks ago had dropped to 24 from 55....He said that you should expect the tension to drop a little but never that much unless it was done incorrectly. I guess the weekly restringing is for people that notice a big difference in 2 lb difference and play tournaments.

Didn't know a sick frog actually sounded like that. Haha

I simply change them when they break. I guess that's enough for my level

For poly-string, hard hitter, playing single, you should restring it after 20-30 hours of playtime if the string is not broken yet.
For super hard hitter, the string would break after 2-10 hours of playtime.
Playing double, the string would last twice as longer time.
For median hitter, playing single, 30-50 hours of playtime.

Change your string when it sounds like sharapova.

please recommend a string. i play from the baselineish area alot of the time with power and a small bit of spin and sometimes slice/drop shots. im looking for a string with good power and one that i wont have to get restrung every couple weeks/goes dead and one that doesnt lose its tension. i dont care how much it costs but not natural gut as durability is not good. thanks

Please does anyone know what the marker pen and the babolat logo paper @ 0:11 are called on maybe amazon or ebay.
Thanks.

So you can't play with natural gut in the rain either? Very restricting...

[watersmoke]

This is not the best advice if you want to play with strings that are still performing and leave you injury free...

I'm sure you're saying great information. Now please get someone to translate in English
