Tour Level Stringing
Tour-level stringing. Dialed to your game.
Strung by Grand Slam veterans on professional-grade equipment. 100+ strings in stock, tension calibrated to the spec that actually suits how you play.
The string, the tension, the setup
Every restring starts with a question: how do you play? Flat ball-striker, heavy topspin, arm sensitivity. All of it changes the recommendation. We talk through it before we string, and we log your preferences so every future visit starts from exactly where you left off.
The process
Consult
We talk through how you play, pace, spin, and arm history, before a single string goes in the frame.
Recommend
String type and tension matched to your game and your frame, not the manufacturer's printed midpoint.

Document
Your string, tension, and setup logged, so the next visit starts exactly where you left off.
The right string for your game
It comes down to four families. Here is how each one plays and which players it suits.
Polyester · Control and spin
The tour standard. Firm feel, high durability, and excellent spin potential. Best suited for big hitters and players who string frequently.
Natural gut · Power and feel
The benchmark for tension maintenance and arm comfort. Used by many tour players, often in a hybrid, for a reason.
Multifilament · All-around value
Softer feel than poly, affordable, and forgiving. A solid choice for players who prioritize comfort and are not looking to overthink it.
Hybrid · Best of both
Gut in the mains, poly in the crosses. Or the reverse. The most versatile setup on tour. We dial the combination to your game.
Pricing varies by string and setup. Visit or call (646) 669-8444 for a quote. String often? Stringing packages save up to 25 percent on labor, and we will pick up and return your racquet if you cannot make it in.

Before you restring
How often should I restring?
A good rule of thumb: restring as many times per year as you play per week. Play three times a week, restring about three times a year. Poly players and big hitters go more often, since polyester loses tension and feel faster.
What tension should I use?
Most players land between 45 and 60 lbs, but the right number depends on your string, frame, and game. Lower tension gives more power and comfort. Higher gives more control. We recommend based on how you actually play, not the frame's printed midpoint.
What's the best string for tennis elbow?
Natural gut is the gold standard for arm comfort and tension maintenance. A soft multifilament is the next best if gut is outside the budget. A gut-mains, poly-crosses hybrid is a popular middle ground.
How long does a restring take?
Standard turnaround is 24 to 48 hours, depending on how many racquets are ahead of yours. Need it faster? Bring your racquet in before 12 PM for same-day service, available for a rush fee. On a deadline for a match or tournament? Tell us and we will work around it. Members skip the line.
