When should I restring my racket?

Your string question

I have several rackets, one of which has been recently restrung but hasn't been used for X weeks. When should I restring it? At what point does a string start to weaken?

Sandra's expert tip

The loss of tension begins immediately after stringing. Even a string that sits unused in a corner will no longer be "fresh" after months. Whether and to what extent the loss of tension is noticeable during play depends on various factors: the player's sensitivity, the quality of the string material, the stringing quality, and the duration of use. Therefore, if you own multiple rackets, it is always advisable to mark each one individually and note the stringing date.

Many players restring their rackets at intervals so that a freshly restrung racket is regularly available and the older one is used in training.
