- Synthetic gut, natural gut or multifilament string: Start at the middle (or 2lbs above) of the recommended tension range that’s printed on your racquet.

What is a stringing pattern?
A “string pattern” refers to the number of main (up and down) strings and the number of cross (side to side) strings. The most common patterns around are 18 × 20, 16 x 19, 16 x 20 and 16 x 18. A dense pattern refers to very small spaces between the strings, while an open pattern has more separation between the strings.
Should I restring my badminton racket?
Rackets lose their string tension after a couple of games. If the strings become too loose, you will not be able to hit quick shots and your game will suffer. So, it is essential to restring the racket regularly. Regular playing not only damages the string but also affects other parts of the racket.
How long does stringing a racquet take?

How do you calculate tension in a string?
Tension Formula
- Tension can be easily explained in the case of bodies hung from chain, cable, string etc.
- T = W ± ma.
- Case (iv) If the body moves up or down with uniform speed, tension; T = W.
- T=m(g±a)
- As tension is a force, its SI unit is newton (N).
What affects tension in a string?
S: “It depends on both, the angles and the lengths of the strings. The object is hanging there because both strings have the same force to hold the mass.”
Does string pattern affect spin?
Closed string pattern for more surface contact and friction. Stiff stringbed causing more ball squashing and surface area contact and grabbing. And most recently, strings that move and stretch laterally in the stringbed and snap back give the ball extra spin.
