To string a tennis racquet, you have a few choices. You can go to a tennis shop, a sports retailer or do it yourself. To string the racquet yourself, you need to buy or borrow a tennis stinging machine. Plus, you need to have the appropriate string at hand. For each stringing machine, specific instructions apply.

I recommend www.StringQuick.com This website offers one product. A simple yet very powerful DVD. String Quick explains in detail how to string tennis raquets. String Quick goes over all aspects of stringing. From measuring strings out of a reel to a two piece string job, String Quick includes everything you need to know. String Quick also shares secrets of professional raquet technicians. Tips that greatly reduce stringing time and allow more raquets to be strung from reels. Quit paying hundreds of dollars a year for raquet restringing. Quit the back and forth commuting. Quit handing your raquets off with uncertainty.

For novices, it is best to get your racquet strung by a qualifed stringer.

It's called "One piece stringing." You start stringing the Main strings (up and down) at the middle. One tie off is at the end of one of the mains. At the other end of the mains, you continue stringing the the crosses. At the end of the crosses, you tie off the second.

To string a racquet, you will need to purchase a string machine which can be found at most tennis site, or you could bring it to your local tennis store and ask if they string racquets. They usually charge around $20.00 per racquet.

While this would be very impractical, and probably ineffective, it would be done the same way as when using a machine, only using our own muscle power instead of the tensioning head on the stringing machine.

Tennis racquet strings come in four types: natural gut, polyester, nylon and Kevlar.

Natural Gut string is taken from the intestine of an adult steer.

Polyester strings consist of a single polyester with a thin coating on it.

Nylon string is usually a solid core, surrounded by various textures of coating from smooth to rough.

Kevlar tennis racquet string is stiff and extremely durable. In fact it is made from the same material as bulletproof vests.
