Q: What is a hybrid / blend?
A: A hybrid (aka blend) string installation involves the use of two different string types. Generally, one string type will be assigned to the mains exclusively while the other type is assigned to the crosses exclusively.
'MAINS' are the strings running parallel to the handle's axis.
'CROSSES' are the strings running perpendicular to the handle's axis.
Q: Why would I want to use a hybrid?
A: To achieve performance and/or durability characteristics that are not attainable using a single string type alone. Generally, main strings break first as they tend to move more during impact and therefore endure more abrasion than the crosses. As a consequence, usually a hybrid installation will assign a more durable (harder) string to the mains and a more playable (softer) string to the crosses. Durability may not be the primary motive for choosing a hybrid though, often hybrids are chosen partially or entirely for their performance characteristics.
Q: How do I choose strings to use in a hybrid?
A: Your game style, racquet and personal preference will all be factored into the determination of your 'ideal' string combination. Usually, some trial and error is to be expected when searching for the right combination. Keep track of the string types, tension(s) and results from each hybrid combination that you try. Don't be discouraged if the first combination you try is not quite right. Visit the Hybrid / Blending Guide for hybrid string selection recommendations.

What is the 'gauge' of a string and why does it matter?
-1- Thinner gauges will yield higher elasticity and greater spin potential.
-2- Thicker gauges are more durable and retain tension longer.
-3- Lower gauges are thicker than higher gauges (16 gauge is thicker than 17 gauge).

Beyond aesthetics, does the color matter?
Theoretically, the mechanical properties of a tennis string could be affected by the dye used to color it. However, these effects are generally not significant enough to be noticed. For the vast majority of players, beyond aesthetic considerations, tennis string color does not matter.

Sets versus Reels
A 40ft/12.2m set of tennis string is an adequate length to restring almost any tennis racquet. 660ft/200m reels contain a length adequate to restring approximately 18 racquets.
It costs less to package, handle and transport reels and therefore, per unit length, reels are more cost effective than sets. As well, when restringing from sets, usually a couple of feet of string are left over (waste) since most racquets do not require an entire 40ft/12.2m. When restringing from reels, waste can be minimized by accurately measuring the required string lengths before removal.
From an ease of restringing standpoint, since it is not coiled as tightly, string taken from a reel tends to be easier to handle during installation.
