{{Main|Strings (tennis)}}

In tennis, the strings are the part of a tennis racquet which make contact with the ball. The strings form a woven network inside the head (or "hoop") of the racquet. Strings have been made with a variety of materials and possess varying properties that have been measured, such as dynamic stiffness, tension retention, thickness (gauge), string texture (shape of the string), and rebound efficiency.<ref name="racquetsportsindustry.com">[http://www.racquetsportsindustry.com/articles/2010/01/string_selector_2010.html String Selector 2010, Racquet Sports Industry Magazine] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101008023114/http://www.racquetsportsindustry.com/articles/2010/01/string_selector_2010.html |date=2010-10-08 }}</ref>
