Best Durable Tennis Strings
When talking about string durability, your definition of the term might be different than your double partner’s. While some players are looking for great tension maintenance, or string playability duration, others will look for the one and only unbreakable string. You may also be gazing at polys, while your teammate is searching for the perfect hybrid. Polyester, multifilament, synthetic gut and even natural gut strings … it all can get quickly confusing. In the maze of strings, we have untangled everything to guide you toward the set that will suit you best.
