Yonex Pro-Shop

JWT have developed a fully stocked Yonex Pro-Shop and offer a restringing service for tennis, squash, racketball and badminton, with years of experience and a qualification to join the YONEX UK Professional Stringing Team in 2015. The pro shop exclusively supplies Yonex rackets, balls, shoes, clothing, luggage and accessories for tennis, with the coaching team all using Yonex as their brand of choice.

James can advise players on all aspects of rackets, restringing and helping with string choices, tensions and frequency. Racket strings have a tendency to lose tension over time, followed by a loss control of the ball on your racket. When the tension on your racket decreases, your strings are likely to stretch more during impact. The ball will then ‘pocket’ on the strings longer, giving a less controlled ball off the racket. This is why it’s important to re-string your racket on a consistent basis.

 

There’s a rule of thumb around the industry that you should take the number of days a week that you play and string your racket that many times per year. Meaning, if you play four times a week, you should restring your racket four times per year.

String Types

yonex monofilament tennis string

Monofilament

A type of string design where one string material, or a combination of materials form a solid piece of string. Monofilament strings tend to exhibit greater durability than synthetic gut or multifilament strings of the same material, but have less power, feel, and comfort. The most common monofilament string, polyester based strings, have become softer as it has evolved making them much more comfortable to play with.

yonex multi filament tennis string

Multifilament

In this type of string, numerous individual string filaments, usually made of nylon, but can be polyester, are wrapped or braided into a single length of string. Multifilament strings tend to produce more power and comfort than monofilament or synthetic gut strings, and are a preferred choice for players with arm problems. Multifilament strings are designed to feel as close to natural gut as possible.

yonex synthetic gut tennis string

Synthetic Gut

An economical string. Synthetic gut is a nylon-based string, typically with a solid monofilament core surrounded by one or multiple layers of smaller filaments. The construction provides all-around performance by combining the solid core for enhanced durability while improving the feel and playability with the outer wraps.

yonex hybrid tennis string

Hybrid

This is the mixing of two different types of string in the same racket. Hybrid stringing has become popular in the last several years due to the rise of polyester-based strings. Since these polyester-based strings are stiff, many players have mixed them with softer strings to make for a more playable and comfortable string bed, while retaining much of the poly’s spin and durability characteristics.
