Black Friday tennis strings

The Black Friday, the time to stock up on reels

String is a recurring purchase: a regular player goes through several a year. The Black Friday, before the holidays and then the tennis sales, allows you to anticipate your upcoming restringing, especially in reels.

Monofilament: control and spin

Made from a single strand of polyester, monofilament is firm and durable. It helps players who hit hard keep the ball in the court and spin it. Its stiffness makes it more suitable for players with healthy arms.

Multifilament: comfort for the arm

Made up of many microfibres, it absorbs vibrations better and returns the ball more easily. It's the logical choice for a recreational player or someone with a sensitive elbow, albeit at the cost of a typically shorter lifespan.

Set or reel: the calculation to make

The set contains enough to string one racket. The reel allows for several: it is aimed at players who break strings often, families of players, stringers, and clubs.

Gauge and tension: two adjustments not to overlook

A thinner string, around 1.20 mm, provides touch and spin but breaks more quickly. A thicker string, around 1.30 mm, lasts longer. In terms of tension, the lower it is, the easier the ball goes; the higher it is, the more control you get. Stay within the range specified on your frame.

Tecnifibre, Wilson, Luxilon: who offers what

Tecnifibre, born from stringing, and Wilson offer the most options on this page. Luxilon is a reference for monofilament, and Babolat, Prince, and Still in Black round out the selection.

The rest of the gear on sale

A new string is often put on a new racket: head over to the tennis rackets of the Black Friday. Bags and vibration dampeners can be found among the tennis accessories, and all the offers can be found on the Black Friday tennis page.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I find cheap tennis string during the Black Friday?

On this page, by filtering by type of string. If you restring often, compare a reel with several sets: the tennis clearance also offers end-of-line items for the rest of the year.

What string should I choose if I have pain in my elbow?

Opt for a multifilament, strung at moderate tension. Avoid a stiff monofilament as long as the pain persists, and consult a healthcare professional if it continues.

Is a monofilament suitable for a beginner?

Rarely. Its firmness requires a full and consistent stroke. A multifilament will be more pleasant for learning and less demanding on the arm.

Should I restring a racket that hasn't broken?

Yes: a string loses tension over time, even without playing. A common guideline is to restring as many times a year as you play times a week.

Who can string the string purchased online?

A stringer equipped with a machine, often found in clubs. Give them your usual tension, or the range indicated on the frame if you don't have one yet.
