String FAQ with Gunther Strähle from RING&ROLL -
Ring&Roll is an internationally known company specialized in racket customizing and stringing service. Gunther Strähle is a Wilson stringer who strings rackets for the German David Cup and Fed Cup Teams.
-
How many racquets do you string per year? Cooperation partner Ring&Roll strings 4.000 racquets/year
-
Do you have any special secrets to optimize for summer and winterseason? Summer: Due to heat the stringing tension is about 1-2kg softer. E.g. Federer + Williams Winter: Due to cold tension is equally 1-2kg harder due to a lower bounce and faster ball (for more control). Recommendation for no string breakers: restring latest every 6 months Golden Rule: How many hours do you play during one week in average? This is how often you should restring your racquets per year.
-
Are there any myths regarding stringing skills? Beginners think: the more tension you put on the string the harder you hit the ball. But with 20kg the ball is faster than with 28kg. That means the softer the tension is, the more ballspeed you get – equally the harder the tension is, the more control you get.
-
Any typically faults when stringing a racquet? Fixing the frame incorrectly (deforming the frame), chosing wrong string (for wrong target consumer)
-
What is most important? Choosing the perfect stringing tension. Golden Rule: Take advice by a specialist.

String FAQ (continued) -
When does a string lose most of its tension? Extreme heat and moisture. Monofilament strings are supposed to be replaced every 3-4 months, multifilament strings every 4-6 months. Monofilament strings are best for hard hitting and topspin loving players. Multifilament strings are best for players, who look for control playing a classic style. Mixing both of them is perfect for players, who want Spin, Power and Comfort in one.
-
What‘s the best way to string a racquet for an Attacker? Hard tension, prefers a tight string pattern (18x20).The attacker has a flat and small frame for control and power.
-
What‘s the best way to string a racquet for a Baseliner? Prefers a bigger and lighter frame (balanced – top heavy) and an open string pattern for ultimate power (18x16). Baseliners generally prefer to hit the ball with heavy spin and tend to break more strings because they are hitting more balls. For this type of player we recommend a polyester string such as Luxilon or Wilson Revolve.
-
What‘s the best way to string a racquet for an All-Courter? Typical Allrounder – balanced racquet (Ultra 100) for classic style with control and big sweetspot. All Courters tend to need a string that is versatile like thier game. It is difficult to find 1 string that is ideal for shots on all parts of the court. This is why we recommend hybrids for All Court style players. This will give a player the best of both worlds in terms of power, control, spin and touch. For hybrids with more touch, we recommend putting a multifilament or natural gut string on the mains and polyester on the crosses For hybrids with more spin and durability we recommend putting Luxilon monofilament string on the mains and multifialment of gut on the crosses
-
Three Golden rules to string by yourself? String, 6stringing tension depends on target customer The average stringing tension at Ring&Roll is 23-25kg.
