The basics, for free

Start here. Each section gives you the key points — if you want the full picture, the playbook goes much deeper.

Stringing basics

What you need to know before booking a restring.

  • Higher tension = more control, less power
  • Lower tension = more power, easier on the arm
  • Poly strings are durable and spin-friendly
  • Multifilament strings are softer and more comfortable
  • Restring as many times per year as you play per week

Racket basics

The specs that actually make a difference to your game.

  • Head size: bigger = more power, smaller = more control
  • Weight: heavier gives more stability and power
  • Balance: head-heavy adds power, head-light feels faster
  • String pattern: open (16x19) gives more spin
  • Stiffness: stiffer frames hit harder but are less comfortable

Shoe basics

The right shoe for your surface and playing style.

  • Hard court shoes have durable, tough outsoles
  • Clay shoes have herringbone grip patterns
  • All-court shoes are a compromise — fine for casual play
  • Wide feet need specific lasts — check the fit carefully
  • Replace tennis shoes every 45–60 hours of play
