FAQs
Which diameter should I choose?
Choose 1.25 mm if you prioritize spin and feel, or 1.30 mm if you prefer increased durability and a slightly more stable feel.
Can I use this for all racquet types?
Yes, HEAD Intellitour is compatible with most standard graphite tennis racquets.
How often should I restring?
Restring frequency depends on your playing style, but generally, if you play 3-4 times a week, you should look to restring every 1-2 months.
Is this a polyester string?
No, it is a multifilament string, which is generally softer and more comfortable than pure polyester.
Does the reel come with enough string for multiple racquets?
Yes, the reel format provides 200 meters of total length, typically allowing for 16-18 full string jobs depending on racquet head size.
Troubleshooting
The string is fraying prematurely at the grommet.
Inspect your grommet strips for sharp edges or cracks; replace the grommets if they are worn.
The strings feel 'dead' or unresponsive.
This is a sign of tension loss; consider re-stringing your racquet with a fresh set to restore responsiveness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the HEAD Intellitour requires a standard tennis racquet stringing machine. Because it is a multifilament string, ensure that the clamps on your machine are set correctly to avoid crushing the fiber construction during the pull.
Stringing Tips
- Avoid using excessive heat or sharp tools during installation.
- Ensure the string is not twisted as it passes through the grommets to prevent premature fraying.
- Store reels in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the structural integrity of the polymers.
