FAQs

How often should I restring my racket?

Restringing frequency depends on how often you play and your playing style. A general guideline is to restring as many times per year as you play per week. For example, if you play 3 times per week, restring 3 times a year. Also, restring when the strings break.

How do I choose the right string tension?

String tension affects power and control. Lower tensions offer more power but less control, while higher tensions provide more control but less power. Consult a stringing professional to find the best tension for your playing style.

Is the Wilson RF 01 Future suitable for beginners?

While the racket is designed for all levels, its benefits may be more noticeable for intermediate to advanced players. Beginners might benefit from a racket with a larger head size and more forgiving string pattern.

Where can I get my racket strung?

You can get your racket strung at most tennis specialty stores or sporting goods stores that offer stringing services.

Troubleshooting

Check the string tension and ensure it's appropriate for your playing style. Consider using a higher tension or experimenting with different string types.
