Natural gut strings are made from the intestines of cows. The material is very good for tennis string because of its ability to expand and contract. The advantages of this string is that it provides more power, allowing you to drive shots further and it's easier on the arm. The main disadvantage is its lack of durability. Exposure to moisture and certain weather conditions can cause it to break down. Some companies who make natural gut string put a coating on it to protect against those conditions.

There are no hollow core squash racket strings, though they do exist for tennis. There are two main types of string design in strings used for squash: monofilament & multifilament. Monofilament strings are a single solid material while multifilament strings are braided and have no central core. Monofilament strings tend to be more durable but typically transfer more shock to the arm while multifilament strings have a softer feel at impact and are closer in playability to natural gut.
