String Tension Calculator

● What tension should your racquet really be strung at?

Six questions, and an answer from our Master Stringer — stringing racquets in Quebec City since 1996.

The range printed on your frame is out of date. Wilson still prints 50–60 lb on many models. The game has changed: strings, swing speeds and frames are not what they were when those numbers were set. What follows is what we actually string in 2026.

1. Head sizeOn the frame, or in the specifications on any of our racquet pages.

2. What are you stringing with?The biggest factor of all. Multifilament is about 30 % more elastic than monofilament — so it goes up, not down.

3. Your level

Beginner Intermediate Advanced Competitive

4. What are you looking for?

ControlThe ball flies long on me A balance of both PowerI have to force for depth

5. Arm, wrist, elbow or shoulder discomfort?

No Yes

6. Would you consider anything other than monofilament?Only matters if you answered yes above.

Yes, advise me No — monofilament only
