Tennis String Set
Slicing through history, the sport of tennis is purported to have developed from a game conjured by European monks, played for entertainment purposes during religious ceremonies. During its humble, monastic origin the first tennis ball made of wood was hit with the hand. Then, a leather glove came into play, soon replaced with an adaptive handle for hitting and serving the ball-the birth of the racket. Eventually the wooden ball gave way to a bouncier leather ball.
H-m-m, though monks are known for their hermitic coexistence and lapses of silence, throughout the 16th-18th centuries the game grew in popularity, predominately in France. Adopted by the royal family and called je de paume, players would begin the game by shouting the word tenez meaning "play." In 1874, Major Walter Wingfield acquired the patent rights for the equipment and rules of engagement which bear close resemblance to the modern game of tennis. This same year, the first tennis courts emerged in the United States.
Rhode Island historically stepped up to the net, first serving up the sport of tennis as a grand slam, with the completed construction of the Newport Casino, and its subsequent opening on July 26, 1880. The Casino hosted the first U.S. National Lawn Tennis Championships in 1881 on its grass courts which evolved into today's US Open. Today, the Newport Casino which encompasses the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum is highly revered as one of Rhode Island's prominent landmarks and cherished institutions, earning the distinction as a National Historic Landmark in 1987. Ever since 1881, when American tournament tennis began on its grass courts, the world's best players have competed in Newport.
From 1915-1967, the Casino Invitational hosted some of the world's premier players comprising an impressive roster including: "Big" Bill Tilden, "Little" Bill Johnston, Ellsworth Vines, Frank Shields, Wilmer Allison, Don Budge, Bobby Riggs, Don McNeil, Gardnar Mulloy, Ted Schroeder, Bill Talbert, Pancho Gonzales, Frank Sedgman, Tony Trabert, Ken Rosewall, Mal Anderson, Rod Laver, Chuck McKinley, Roy Emerson, and Dennis Ralston.
From 1971-1974, the Newport Casino hosted the Professional Women's Singles and the Professional Women's Doubles. Spectators had a golden opportunity to view Kerry Melville, Margaret Court, Billie Jean King, Cris Evert, and Francoise Durr in action. The National Amateur Grass Court tournament returned from 1974-1976. In 1976, the Miller Hall of Fame Tennis Championships debuted. The Virgina Slims returned from 1983-1986. In 2004, Campbell's Soup Company launched their title sponsorship of the Campbell's Hall of Fame Tennis Championships here, the only professional tournament played on grass in the United States.
Holding high court to the grandeur and elegance of tennis, synonymous with tennis in America, the Newport Casino rolls out the carpet to the word's oldest continuously used competition grass courts, as well as having the only competition grass courts open for play to the public. Swing by the International Hall of Fame & Museum to embark on a self-guided grounds tour encompassing 13 grass courts, and 18 galleries pertaining to the history of tennis from the 12th century to the present, showcasing a treasure trove of vast collections and exhibits for a smashing first-hand experience. Located at 194 Bellevue Avenue, the Museum welcomes visitors 9:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. daily, except Thanksgiving and Christmas, though galleries are subject to last minute closings.
The Score
Love means zero, the first point scored is 15, the second point-30, the third point-40, and the next point-game. A player needs to win a game by two points, so if a score is 40-40, it's called a deuce. The next player to win a point has what is termed advantage. If the same player wins the next point-game over! Generally, people play a set, or best out of three sets. Each set consists of a number of games. The first person to win six games wins the set; the smallest number of games in a set would be six. (To win a set you must win two games). There are three or five sets in a match-usually the best two out of three sets or the best three out of five sets.
Tennis Etiquette
As precisely as its players adhere to rules of engagement during a game of tennis, spectators new to the game should also follow a unique set of etiquette protocol to enhance viewing, whereby preventing unwelcome distractions which could affect a player's concentration. Deemed proper to remain silent during live play, loud and spirited cheering is acceptable after a point is earned. Applauding or laughing after an error is perceived as disrespectful.
Cell phone use is considered one of the most violated breaches of spectator etiquette, so turn it off.
During live play, it is expected that one remain seated or in a designated waiting area until the next dead ball or break between games. Movement in the stands can distract players as well as obstruct the view of other spectators.
A popular spectator sport, tennis has the potential to rally as a match made in heaven when you know the score-points earned and points of proper etiquette in the stands. When in Rhode Island, court your love for tennis. Swing by the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum in Newport. Not only can you take a stand to view live play, but you'll be able to rub elbows in spirit with premier tennis players of yesteryear at every turn within the Museum's 18 galleries, and with each footstep taken along the grounds' 13 grass courts.

Best string for feel?
I have been playing tennis for a while and I am a big fan of the "feel racquets" that give you a complete feel when you hit the ball instead of a thud that you get with say an oversized racquet with a vibration dampener. Currently I string my racquet myself with Prince 16 Lightnings. I love these!!! But I break them far too often (one set every week of hitting).
I would love to keep hitting with lightnings, however, it is far from economical.
What strings would you suggest? I big banger-lightning hybrid? Or what?
@ Glenn: Strings break because of hitting very hard and tension place on them because of use of spin. You must hit the ball very flat buddy. Just the slightest amount of topspin will break strings in the long run. If not hitting the sweet spot was the problem... pros would never break strings.
i suggest head intellistrings. they r durable, but they have ok feel. i suggest that u try babolat VS GUT. they are natural gut strings,so they might break fast, however they have great feel. give them a try. also try out pro hurricane. its pretty good from what ive heard and read. i think u might prefer hybrids, so try out the big banger or pro hurricane in mains and use vs gut or ur prince strings for crosses.

Tennis Racquet Stringing 2: Preparing The Strings
10 pts to explain these 4 tennis strings.?
i've come across four different general types of strings.
they are
natural gut
multifilament
polyester (babolat hurricane tour?)
synthetic
could anyone please explain the characteristics of each string in terms of playability and durability, also give a price range(approximately) and an example of the type of string if you can
btw im familiar with synthetics and natural guts, its the multifilaments and polyesters that i dont know much about and the differences that set them apart
please only answer if you know your strings
and thx in advance to answerers
Synthetic Gut. The go-to string for 80% of all tennis players. Made of nylon (Not to be confused with tournament nylon) syn-gut is cheap, plays fairly well for a short time, and is very common. Highly recommended to most players 3.5 and lower. Prince Synthetic Gut is the most popular string, but several other companies make good quality fine playing syn-guts. If you are a string breaker, syn-gut is not very durable and if you are a hard hitter you may find it to get soft rather quickly as well. If you are just starting out experimenting with strings, the first thing you do is get a basic syn gut installed, and use that as your starting point to determine where you go from there, what you want more or less of. You may just find that the syn-gut suits you just fine, and end up staying with it for the rest of your tennis playing days.
Multifiliments. The next step up from Syn-Guts. Multis hold tension better, are more powerful, are soft and easy on the arm/joints. If you find that your syn-gut stringjob is getting gooey before it is breaking, if you want a bit more feel, or if you want a bit more zip or bite on your ball, then a nice multi would be the next thing to try. Multis are more expensive, and generally they are not terribly durable.
Natural Gut. The golden standard for strings since the days of old. Natural Gut, especially the top tier brands, is the standard against which all strings are judged. They are the most powerful strings, they hold tension the best, bite hard, and are fairly durable. The downside is that gut is expensive, and that it doesn't like humidity. If you play gut, make sure you have a backup frame with a synthetic string in case the weather gets bad. If you are a serious player, try it, splurge on a full gut stringjob to see what it is like. For 95% of the tennis playing population, gut is the best string, for your arm, your health, and your game. Very few people play it due to the cost, but it plays so well for a long time, that it is actually a pretty cost effective solution for non string breakers.
Polyester All the rage, what the pros use. What 95% of the tennis playing population should NOT be using. Poly is a stiff, durable string, that if you have sufficient batspeed will allow you to generate wicked spin. Newer polys (Called Co-Polys) are softer and hold tension better than older polys, but poly strings in general are still stiff, harsh, and don't hold tension well at all. If you don't have the racquet head speed to make these strings bend, then you would be best suited trying something else. Polyester strings are only good for a very short amount of time before they "Go Dead" and stop working their magic. After Poly goes dead, it is about the worst string on the planet. This happens long before the strings break. Generally poly stringbeds do not need to have the strings straightened out because they slide back after every hit. If you see that your poly stringbed needs straightening, then it is VERY DEAD and needs to be re-strung ASAP. Poly is not at all good or recomended to anyone with arm issues or injuries. If your arm starts hurting, try something else.
The most expensive is definitely natural gut which ranges in the $30-40 dollar range.
Poly-$9-20
Mulitfilament-$8-20
Synthetic-$4-10
