Check String Snapback in 30 Seconds

If a main string stays where you push it, its spin response may have changed since the string was new.

Player overview

Main-string movement and return contribute to spin, while notching and added surface friction can restrict that movement.

Measurement guide

  1. With clean hands, gently push one center main sideways and release it.
  2. In bright light, see whether it returns to position and inspect the intersections for grooves.
  3. Consider total playing time and ball response before deciding whether to restring.

Latest measurement

A snapback check adds friction and wear information that a tension reading cannot show.
