How do I know if my racket needs restringing?
Check whether any of the strings have frayed. A frayed string will be close to breaking.
A loss in string tension is another reason to consider restringing. A loss in tension will reduce the amount of control and power you are able to generate which will affect the performance of the racket.
Signs your strings have lost tension:
How often should I have my racket restrung?
I recommend:
Number of times you play per week 1 - 2 3 4 5 +
When you should restring every 6 months every 4 months every 3 months every 2 months
It is worth noting that different types of string lose tension at different rates. Your style of play will also affect the lifespan of your strings.

Signs your strings have lost tension:
- Your racket is beginning to feel 'dead' or lifeless
- You are having to swing harder to get the shuttle to go deeper into the back of the court
- You make good contact with the shuttle but aren’t getting as many accurate shots
- The sound has changed when making contact with the shuttle and is dull.
How often should I have my racket restrung?
I recommend:
- Have your racket restrung after every 50 hours of play.
- Have your racket restrung depending on how often you play.
