Hey everyone,
I’ve been looking into the string life recommendations over on Racketpedia, and I noticed they often mention something like "12 hours of play life" for certain strings. My question is: are those 12 hours based on total time on court, or do they refer specifically to active playing time (actual hitting)?
For example, according to a recent study I read, only about 20-30% of an hour of tennis is spent in actual rallies, with the rest being rest between points and changeovers. So, if I play for an hour, does that mean the strings would only wear for around 12-18 minutes of that time?
Would appreciate any insights you guys might have!
Thanks!
