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 of a tennis string 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. 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.
