String Basics at a Glance
Gauge (Thickness)
Thinner strings (0.61–0.66 mm) offer better repulsion and feel. Thicker strings (0.68–0.72 mm) last longer and suit beginners.
Tension
Higher tension (26–30 lbs) gives more control and a crisper feel. Lower tension (18–24 lbs) provides more power and is forgiving on the arm.
Restring Frequency
A good rule of thumb: restring as many times per year as you play per week. Competitive players often restring every 1–3 months.
