What happens when a tennis racket is restrung?

First, we determine the ideal restringing tension for your tennis racket using your height, your weight and your training condition. We also ask about how often you play, your playing ability and your expectations for tennis.

Your tennis racket is then mounted on the restringing machine and the determined desired restringing tension is set. To restring your tennis racket, we use the latest Babolat restringing machine.

The old strings are then removed, and the new strings cut according to the size and restringing pattern. Then the restringing can begin. We start with the mains, or vertical strings, and then move on to the crosses, or horizontal strings.

How often should you have your racket restrung?

You should have your tennis racket restrung as often per year as you play tennis per week. We advise tournament players to have their rackets restrung more frequently, however, and especially before every tournament.

If you buy the strings from us, the restringing of your tennis racket is already included in the price. If you bring your own strings to the shop, we charge EUR 14.99 for restringing.

Our tip: get your own personal Bründl Sports restringing pass and receive every tenth restringing free of charge.

Never cut the old strings off your tennis racket yourself – it requires the correct technique. Otherwise, it is possible that you break the frame and then you may as well throw the racket away.

A correctly strung tennis racket improves ball control, spin and power. Over time, the strings of your racket lose tension and the quality of your strokes is reduced. When that happens, you should have your tennis racket restrung. 

Our employees will determine how hard your racket should be strung based on your height, weight and physical condition. They also factor in how often you play, how strong of a tennis player you are and your personal expectations with regards to tennis. 

There’s one simple rule to determine how often you should have your tennis racket restrung: How many times a week do you play tennis?
