Restring tennis strings compared
Every Restring string bed on the bench — 7 setups rated across eight axes, including arm friendliness, which is the axis most string charts leave out.
How the range scores
Across these 7 beds the range averages 8.1 for spin and 6.3 for arm friendliness. Its strongest axes are spin (8.1) and longevity (7.7); its weakest is arm friendliness (6.3). That makes it middling on arm friendliness — neither a comfort range nor a punishing one. 5 of the 7 are named hybrids rather than full beds. Gauges represented: 1.24 mm.

String notes
RESTRING Zero
A control-first polyester with a firm, direct response and low free power. Expect the stringbed to keep the ball in front of you and to reward full swings with precise depth. Little help on a short swing — the string assumes you bring the racquet-head speed.

RESTRING Sync 1.23
A more balanced string in the same family: some of Zero's control but with a softer, more forgiving impact and slightly more power. Often the better half of a hybrid, or a full bed for a player who found Zero too demanding.

Matching a string to your racket
A string only makes sense in a frame. A stiff polyester in an already stiff, powerful racket is the most common cause of arm trouble in club tennis, and the same string in a flexible control frame can be excellent. The finder scores the pairing rather than the string alone.
