What happens to strings as time passes?
It begins to lose tension as soon as it is inserted into the racquet and continues to do so with each passing second and each stroke. The strings expand more upon impact as tension decreases. The ball remains on the strings for a longer period of time as the strings widen.
When the ball hits the strings that are loosen it goes longer and wider. You start messing with pretty fine equipment to try to fix your unexplained condition since you are unable to identify the exact fault that has caused your stroke. We are here to fine-tune your racket in no time and get your racket the full power you want on the court!
How does inadequate restringing affect things?
If you don 't restring frequently enough, you'll likely spend the majority of your game adjusting for the shifting string tension rather than perfecting your swing.
