The tennis line is an accessory that is in direct contact with tennis. The performance of the line will not only affect the impact of the ball, but also affect the physical function, especially the degree of pressure on the arm.
A good racket with a network cable suitable for the skill level of the practitioner can make the hitting feel more.
So how should I choose the network cable? You need to understand the basic characteristics and specifications of the line. There are three points that must be known when changing the line.
The first point: about the thickness of the tennis line
The thickness refers to the diameter of the cross section of the wire, which we call the wire diameter.
The largest/thick wire diameter is 15, and the smallest/thin is 19. The wire diameter value is generally marked on the packaging. If there is a subtitle L mark (such as 15L) behind the number, it means that the wire diameter is between 15 and 16.
Line specifications (in mm):
15 (1.41-1.49mm); 15L (1.34-1.40mm)
16 (1.26-1.33mm); 16L (1.22-1.26mm)
17 (1.20-1.24mm); 17L (1.16-1.20mm)
18 (1.10-1.16mm)
19 (1.00-1.10mm)
Should I choose thick or thin lines? This should be measured according to the technical characteristics of the players.
The thin line makes it easier to eat the ball, allowing the ball to produce more rotation, which helps to improve the ball control ability. It is suitable for players who use power. Because it is easy to eat the ball, it is recommended that beginners can try from a thin line diameter. Slowly find the feeling of hitting the ball.
The thick line can play a relatively faster return, but the thick line is not easy to eat the ball. If you want to hit more spins, you need to be more active to exert force, thereby enhancing the wrapping of the ball and improving stability. It is not recommended for beginners to choose a line that is too thick.
