Sattler Tennis

We string tennis racquets, replace grips and grommets.  We also customize your frame by adding weight, changing the balance and matching the weight and balance between racquets to create a set of matching frames.  We can even tune your racquet string tension to match the depth of shot with the length of your stroke.

School tennis team tryout preparation and ball machine rental are also available.

Professional Racquet stringing

What defines professional racquet stringing?

• We never double pull strings. We never tension two strings with a single pull.  Every string is individually pulled at the correct reference tension.

• Ensuring the center two mains strings are pulled to the correct tension. Even stringers who don’t double-pull other strings will double pull the two center strings.  This practice is considered correct and unavoidable.  We avoid it.  Double pulling the two-center mains will create a soft-spot within the sweet-spot taking away target accuracy.

• Tying off strings in the correct grommets holes. Tying off strings in the incorrect grommet holes damage fragile grommets and can possibly cause racquet distortion.  I have been the victim of this by big name website retailers.

• Using a “constant pull” machine not a “lock-out” machine. A “constant pull” machine pulls the string until it stops stretching.  We combine “constant -pull” with technique and pride.

Professional Racquet stinging takes time and we take the time.  You will feel the difference.

The new high-tech poly strings are all the rage on the pro tour but are they good strings for young and developing players?

Perhaps not.

Young and developing players don’t generate enough racquet head speed to stretch polyester strings. It is necessary for the strings to stretch in order for the strings to do what strings do, generate pace and spin. The stretching of the strings at ball impact allows them to “snap back” generating power and spin. The stretch of the strings also increases dwell-time of the ball on the strings to create more depth and penetration on flat strokes.

In addition to racquet head speed, racquet weight is also a factor when considering polyester strings. Young and developing players use lighter racquets and heavier racquets stretch all racquet strings more than lighter racquets. Check a racquet’s weight before installing polyester strings. An unstrung racquet should weigh at least 295 grams to use polyester strings and ideally 300 grams or more for optimal performance.

Polyester strings being more difficult to stretch can create an unacceptable level of shock on ground strokes and a less lively string bed which diminishes easy execution of touch shots. Polyester strings also lose their ability to “snap back” sooner than other strings requiring them to be replaced more frequently.

Synthetic gut from all manufactures make for fine and cost-effective string for young and developing players as well as for experienced players. Synthetic gut provides more stretch and therefore more power and less shock then polyesters strings. Multifilament strings at a higher price point are excellent strings as well. Multifilament strings have even less shock at ball impact and deliver even more power. Wilson Sensation is a soft and accurate multifilament string for all playing levels and is considered to be the best value multifilament string on the market. The higher price point multifilament strings are always excellent and include Wilson NXT, Babolat Xcel and others.

Multifilament strings offer power, comfort and ease of play for all level of players. Their ability to absorb shock will also help to alleviate elbow and joint pain in players who hit hard and to prevent injuries in younger players who are still growing.
