TENNIS STRING tension loss is the
most significant process impacting your
tennis racquet, and string wear and tear
is the second. Even if you haven’t been
using your racquet, the strings still lose
their tension. Experts recommend that
for optimal performance, recreational
players restring their racquets at least
3-4 times per year. Wheaton Sport Center is now stringing in-house with a new
high tech stringer. The Gamma 7500
ELS is a constant pull, digital stringing
machine that ensures accuracy and precision every time. Our knowledgeable
tennis pros can advise you in choosing
the perfect string and tension for your
game. Drop your racquet off a the
front desk for restringing today!
