Polyester Tennis String FAQ's

What are polyester tennis strings, and who are they suitable for?

Polyester strings are durable, firm strings designed for players who prioritise spin and control over power. They are best suited for intermediate to advanced players with faster swing speeds and proper technique.

What are the main benefits of polyester strings?

Polyester strings provide exceptional spin potential, precise control, and durability. They maintain tension well during play and are ideal for aggressive players who want to generate heavy topspin or slice.

Are polyester strings comfortable to use?

While polyester strings are not as arm-friendly as multifilament or natural gut strings, softer co-polyester variants offer more comfort while maintaining performance. Adding hybrid stringing or lowering string tension can also improve comfort.

How durable are polyester strings compared to other string types?

Polyester strings are highly durable, making them an excellent choice for players who hit with power and frequently break strings. However, frequent players may still experience tension loss over time.

What tension should I use for polyester strings?

To balance comfort and control, it’s recommended to string polyester strings at a lower tension, typically around 22-25 kg (48-55 lbs). This reduces stiffness while maintaining spin and precision.

Can I use polyester strings as a beginner?

Polyester strings are generally not recommended for beginners due to their stiffness and lower power levels. Beginners are better suited to softer string types, like multifilaments or synthetic gut, to reduce strain on the arm.

How do polyester strings compare to natural gut or multifilament strings?

Polyester strings offer more control, spin, and durability, while natural gut and multifilaments are more comfortable and powerful. Many players use hybrids, combining polyester with softer strings, to get the best of both worlds.

How often should I replace polyester strings?

For regular players, polyester strings should be replaced every 10-15 hours of play or whenever you notice a loss of tension and performance. They are less prone to breakage but can become dead and lose their elasticity over time.

What are co-polyester strings, and are they different from polyester strings?

Co-polyester strings are a modern version of traditional polyester strings, designed with softer materials and additives to improve comfort and playability while maintaining durability and spin.

Can polyester strings cause tennis elbow?

Due to their stiffness, polyester strings may contribute to arm fatigue or tennis elbow, especially for players with improper technique or pre-existing conditions. Using softer versions, hybrids, or lowering string tension can help minimise the risk.
