Talk Tennis - View Single Post - un-/wise to restring right before a tourney?

Part of me is scared to do it. Because my racket usually takes a couple days right after restringing before it loses that boardy feel before it settles in and plays "right."
At the same time, one of my rackets badly needs to be restrung. And there's this tourney coming up in three days and it'll be my first. I'm thinking of leaving the current, "dead strings" in, but that's partly because I'm lazy; but I'm afraid I might be rationalizing when I cite the period of boardiness as grounds for not restringing.
What would you do, restring it or not?
