NATURAL GUT is still preferred by many professional tennis players and the a popular string used in many badminton tournaments. It is the most power string, remains soft at high tensions and holds tension better than all other strings. Using natural gut strings will cause less physical problems like Tennis Elbow. Originally natural gut came from sheep gut. After the larger headed tennis rackets were introduced the gut produced by sheep was too short for one piece stringing. Now most of the natural gut strings are made from beef gut which can be produced in lengths of 40+ feet in length. Popular strings used by professionals include Babolat VS. The production of natural gut strings have improved considerably during the last few years, being more durable with waterproof coatings. Although natural gut is one of the top performing strings it more expensive than the best synthetic strings. Sheep gut is considered to be more elastic than beef gut and for this reason Surrey Tennis undertakes a two piece sheep gut restring in some rackets.

SYNTHETIC STRINGS: There is still no synthetic substitute for natural gut strings. There are many synthetic strings on the market in a variety of colours. Nylon, Polyester, Multifilaments, Kevlar.

STRING TENSIONS: Tensions are measured in lbs and kilograms and are often printed on the racket frame. Most tennis rackets are strung between 50 -70 lbs, squash rackets 22-30 lbs, badminton 15-30 lbs. String tension is actually the pull tension set on stringing machines, not the final tension on the racket. Often 10% tension is lost during the stringing process and a gradual further loss whilst the strings remain the racket. Tension loss is quite normal on all strings. Players should not adjust the machine pull tension to compensate for the loss in tension. Tests have shown that most players cannot detect a difference of 15 lbs between string tensions and most professionals a difference of 11 lb
