Every tennis string we carry.

The labour for each string is $19.99. For hybrid setups, the cost is calculated by dividing the price of a set by 2 and then adding both half sets, everything is done automatically. You can also provide us with your own strings and labour cost remains the same. Click on a string to learn more about it.

Head Velocity MLT tennis string

Head Velocity MLT

The best value in the catalogue and the cheapest restring we do. Around a thousand nylon filaments, top-rated for arm-friendliness, with better control than most multis. Where we start almost everyone coming off poly with a sore arm.

Played by

Marcelo Melo (No. 1)

Career-high world ranking in brackets.

Also consider

  • Wilson NXT — plusher and more powerful, for more money

Wilson NXT

The plushest, most powerful string we stock. Lovely to hit, with almost no spin to speak of — the fibres are smooth, so there is no snapback. Head Velocity covers similar ground for fifteen dollars less if budget matters.

Also consider

  • Head Velocity MLT — very similar feel, fifteen dollars cheaper

Head Hawk Touch tennis string

Head Hawk Touch

A soft elastic core inside a firmer polyester shell, so it pockets the ball on off-centre hits instead of punishing you. Comfortable for a poly and the cheapest one we carry. Will not hold tension as long as the tour strings.

Played by

Jannik Sinner (No. 1) · Alexander Zverev (No. 2)

Career-high world ranking in brackets.

Also consider

  • Yonex Poly Tour Pro — same idea, holds tension longer
  • Solinco Hyper-G — more bite, a little firmer

Yonex Poly Tour Pro tennis string

Yonex Poly Tour Pro

The gentlest way into polyester. Built as a transition string — poly control and real spin without the stiffness that sends people straight back to multifilament. The one to try if you have never used poly and are not sure your arm will take it.

Played by

Ben Shelton (No. 13)

Career-high world ranking in brackets.

Also consider

  • Solinco Hyper-G — a step up in spin and control
  • Head Hawk Touch — softer again, and cheaper

Solinco Hyper-G

The best all-rounder we stock. Shaped profile for bite, but a softer blend than most tour polys, so it does not beat you up. If you are moving off multifilament and want one string that does everything well, start here.

Mike Bryan (No. 1) · Bob Bryan (No. 1) · Sam Querrey (No. 11) · Lloyd Harris (No. 31)

  • Babolat RPM Blast — the tour-standard version of the same job

Head Lynx Tour

Six-sided profile that bites hard, holds tension, and lasts. Firm, though — it asks a lot of the player and gives little back on a slow swing. Look elsewhere if comfort is near the top of your list.

Andrey Rublev (No. 5) · Roman Safiullin (No. 36)

Solinco Confidential

The biggest spin generator in the catalogue and one of the most demanding strings we sell. Grippy shaped profile built for steep, fast swing paths. It gives nothing back if you do not swing hard.

Played by

Marco Trungelliti (No. 112)

Career-high world ranking in brackets.

Also consider

  • Babolat RPM Blast — similar spin, a touch more forgiving
  • Solinco Hyper-G — softer and more balanced

The most recognised string on tour and the one most people ask for by name. Heavy topspin if you swing fast enough to use it, and firm enough that you need to.

Luxilon ALU Power tennis string

Luxilon ALU Power

The benchmark polyester since 1991 and still the precision standard. Round profile, so less bite than the shaped strings — you are buying control here, not spin. Unforgiving if your arm is unhappy.

Best-in-class tension maintenance — the stringbed still feels the same weeks in, where other polys have gone dead. Built for flat, aggressive hitters who spray the ball with livelier strings.

Played by

Serena Williams (No. 1) · Kei Nishikori (No. 4) · Stefanos Tsitsipas (No. 3) · Richard Gasquet (No. 7)

  • Babolat RPM Blast — the usual crosses when the gut goes in the mains
