Dead Strings vs Fresh Strings

Dead strings don't always look dead. That's the problem. Bryan breaks down how to actually tell if your strings are done, not just when they snap, but when they quietly stop performing. In this one: the difference between synthetic gut, multifilament, polyester, and natural gut, how weather changes tension (yes, Karl the Fog is messing with your strings), why he restrings every two to three months, and the personal story of switching to multifilament to save his arm from tennis elbow. If you've ever wondered why your shots feel off even though nothing's broken, this is for you. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ 🎾 CITY RACQUET SHOP — San Francisco's home for tennis We're the Bay Area's spot for everything a tennis player needs: gear, expert stringing, and a real community to play with.
