FAQs

What is the recommended tension for NXT?

The recommended tension varies depending on your racket and playing style. Refer to your racket's specifications or consult a stringing professional.

How often should I restring with NXT?

Restring when the string loses tension or feel, or if it breaks. Regular players often restring every 20-30 hours of play.

What is the difference between the 16 and 17 gauge NXT?

The 16 gauge is thicker and provides more durability and control, while the 17 gauge offers slightly more feel and spin potential.

How should I store the NXT string reel?

Store the string in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its properties.

Can NXT be used by all skill levels?

Yes, NXT is suitable for players of all levels, from recreational to competitive, due to its balance of comfort and power.

How do I clean my tennis strings?

Wipe the strings with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the string.

Troubleshooting

String broke prematurely.

Check for sharp edges on the grommets or frame. Ensure proper stringing technique and tension. Consider a slightly thicker gauge or different string if the issue persists.

Loss of tension or feel after short use.

NXT is known for good tension maintenance, but if this occurs, check for damage or mishandling during installation. Consider restringing at the correct tension.

String feels too stiff or uncomfortable.

Ensure the correct tension for your playing style. Check for any damage or abrasion on the strings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
