String Theory Racquet Stringing Services

String Theory has a few new string choices. Still focused on the great Solinco Confidential and HyperG, but I also now stock Head Lynx Tour (champagne colour) in 1.25mm and Wilson NXT 1.3 for those who love their multis.

Prices:
Head Lynx Tour $50
Wilson NXT $50
Solinco and Volkl $45
Luxilon Alupower $60

String Theory just strung this Wilson Hyper Hammer in Head Synthetic . It’s come up nice and firm which will complement the powerful, light racquet and reign in some of that power.

Sweet Volkl Hybrid setup!

A client brought in their RF97A and wanted to try a hybrid set up. We went with:

Mains: Volkl Cyclone 1.23mm @ 50lbs
Crosses: Volkl PowerFibre II 1.32mm @ 53.5lbs

The string pulled up firm but will definitely feel more gentle on the arm than a full bed of poly.

Should offer nice ball pocketing and good string tension maintenance.

It’s been busy here at String Theory. Many thanks to my loyal customers; I focus hard on getting your restrings perfect and I’m grateful that you choose me to string your racquets for you.

Yesterday I installed Solinco HyperG 1.2mm in a pair of Head Graphene Gravity MP Lites at 46lbs, it came up very sweetly. The client is “over the moon” with the pocketing and spin potential of this frame/string combo.

NEWSFLASH: I’m getting in some new string from Solinco: HyperG Soft in 1.2mm and Confidential in 1.2mm. These promise to be a further improvement on some of the best strings in the market.

The Prince Phantom 93P 18/20 is a wonderful racquet which inspires confidence in your shots. It has a tension range of 50lb +/- 5lbs. So how do I determine the right tension for different strings.

- the middle of the tension range is the perfect place to start the calc. ie 50lbs.
- I strung the racquet with Solinco HyperG Poly, so I start by discounting the tension by 10%. Poly as compared to Multifilament or Synthetic gut should be strung 10% lower.
- the string I used had a gauge of 1.2mm (aka 18). Compared to a reference gauge of 1.3mm (aka 16), it is 7.7% thinner. So next I discount the tension by 7.7%.

So my tension is 50lbs x (1 - 0.1) x (1 - 0.077) = 41.5lbs

From this midpoint move up/down between 37lbs (power and rip) to 45.6lbs (control).
