There are other strings out there, but these mentioned are the pick for mine. I would get two reels of string if I was just starting out. A cheap nylon from say Prince (Tournament Nylon) and a poly from Luxilon (Big Banger original) or even one of the cheaper poly’s mentioned. Stringing yourself will enhance your interest in the game and show your kids how committed you are to their sport. It is also a bit of fun when you get the hang of it. It is not hard, but it pays to be patient in the beginning.
