When you have your racquet strung, you can choose to use the same string for the vertical mains and the horizontal crosses, or you can opt to combine two different kinds, referred to as hybrid stringing.

Although relatively common, I consider it an underrated method of stringing, which stands to benefit a wide range of players looking to get the best possible performance out of their racquet.

In this guide, I explore the topic of hybrid stringing from all angles to provide players with a blueprint for thoroughly understanding and getting the most out of this stringing method. Below I’ve included a selection of popular hybrids worth checking out if you’re in the market.
