Re-Stringing Your Racquet

I was talking to Glen Wilson (my Commonwealth Games gold medal winning doubles partner) about stringing squash rackets. He gave me this list of tips:
  1. Don't buy the cheapest strings as they won't last. Look to spend a little more to ensure you get a little more playability and durability.
  2. Don't buy a string that has a thin gauge. Look for anything upwards of 1.20 mm but no more than 135mm.
  3. Get your racket strung around 27-28 lbs. Any tighter and they won't last as long; any looser you won't get as much feel and the strings will start to move all around the racket head.
