I valued the online experience of being able to select not only the racquet, but also the type of string and also the stringing tension. After sales queries were attended to courteously and with obvious product knowledge.

This is a guide for those who are not sure of your stringing tension, based on average figures for men and women. Higher tension gives you more control, lower tension gives you more power. Higher tension makes the string less durable.
