Polyester strings are becoming increasingly popular. They have good control and feel of the ball. If you don’t want 100% polyester strings on your racquet, there are always hybrid strings to give yourself a different feel.

String tension:
Differing string tension can make a difference in your game as well. The more tension you have in your racquet, the more control of the ball you’ll have. The less tension, the more power. Make sure that you find a good mix between power and control, too much of either can affect your game in a negative way.
