Do tennis strings make a difference?
Thinner strings bite into the ball, which will give the player a little bit more control. Thinner strings also have more elasticity which is what makes a string play better. If you are not a string breaker, we typically recommend 17 gauge, otherwise use 16 gauge for a little more durability.
