Can You Keep Using Strings in Humid Conditions or After Rain?
Moisture management has a direct effect on natural gut performance and life in particular.
Player overview
Rain and humidity affect materials differently, while a wet grip and heavier balls can further change the impact feel.
Measurement guide
- Identify the material, wipe a wet racquet with a dry cloth, and let it dry in a well-ventilated indoor space.
- Keep natural gut away from water and inspect it closely for coating damage and fraying.
- Once fully dry, compare the measurement trend and ball response with your baseline; replace it if the change persists.
Latest measurement
After moisture exposure, protect and dry the material before changing the tension number.
