GRIPS
Why you need to replace your ORIGINAL grip once a year, every 2 years MAX.
1/Not replacing your original grip means your racket handle size is now 1/2 size smaller than the original. That's a lot of ball control misses.
2/an overgrip (or 2) on top of a "dead" grip will not change a thing! the foam support is gone so vibrations remain.
3/unhealthy (no need to get into the details about germs..)

Strings: TIPS AND ADVICE
Nothing replaces a chat - so call me and i will guide you in your choice - We are passionate as you are!
Here is my guide to the type of strings that perform well for many of my customers.
The type of racket, your level, strenghts and weaknesses , age, the type of court, indoor/outdoor, weather etc.. play an important role in your strings ideal search!
Remember also that the higher the tension the less power but "more" control you have.
Since the "Federer years" tension on the pro circuit is towards medium-high as an average. 50-58lbs this is mainly due to the quality of strings that deliver the spin and precision previously lacking in the 80s-90s. So players lower the tension to get more power without sacrificing precision and spin. Nadal for instance "only" plays at 55lbs. Federer quite often in the 50s, and for our World number 1, Nole rarely goes above 58lbs (which is already pretty high on a 18x20 frame!)
Low powered Head Hawk is the perfect example - As TennisWarehouse puts it, "providing the exceptional control of a stiff poly without ever feeling harsh "
Multifilaments Wilson NXT and Xone Biphase have also provided recently the best of both worlds with low tension paradigm...power and precision.
