Where can i String my racket?

How do I know if my racket needs restringing?

The easiest way to know when it's time to restring is by noticing how your strings look. If you strings are fraying or look shaggy, the strings are starting to come apart and you're not going to get as much spin or power when you hit the ball. Additionally, if your strings are moving; much more crooked than normal after points you should get your racket restrung.

How often do tennis rackets need to be restrung?

As a general rule you should re-string each year as often as you play per week. All strings gradually stretch and lose their resiliency or go dead, even if you play infrequently.

What About Tennis Shoes?

Do I need special Tennis Shoes?

 Tennis shoes are specifically designed for use on the tennis court. Whereas the running shoe places emphasis on cushioning, tennis shoes focus on lateral support and stability. Lateral support and stability is crucial to tennis players, as many of the quick movements executed on the tennis court are side-to-side cuts, rather than heel-to-toe running. In addition, tennis shoe soles are made to be considerably more durable than running shoes. The constant stopping, starting and sliding of tennis puts substantial strain on the durability of the sole.
