Many people do not realise the importance of adding new or quality strings to their racket. People spend a lot of money buying a new racket only to find that the manufacturers normally use cheap, mono-filament strings. They will use the racket for a number of months and get used to the cheaper strings. When the strings finally break and they have a quality restring, people are amazed at the difference.

Squash string tension

Racket strings and tension give a compromise between power, spin (control) & durability. The tension in the strings is a personal preference and you need to find the tension that is suited to your game. Squash rackets tend to be restrung between 25 lbs and 30 lbs.

How often should I have my racket restrung?

Racket string manufacturers recommend that you restring your racket the same number of times in a year that you play each week. (i.e. if you play 3 times a week, restring your racket 3 times a year). Racket strings lose their tension and elasticity after playing for a while so it is important to have a racket restrung.
