Why Stringing Matters

Your string setup is the most important piece of technology in your racquet. It affects feel, power, control, spin, and comfort. Choosing the right string and tension can elevate your game — or hold it back.

At Total Racquet, we believe that proper stringing is more than a service — it’s a partnership. We take the time to understand your playing style, preferences, and needs to give you the best performance possible.
