There are several types of tennis strings available in the market, each with different materials, construction, and properties. To view the full string list : https://www.rackethaus.sg/pages/tennis-strings-list

The main types of tennis strings are:

Synthetic Gut: These strings are made from a blend of nylon or polyester fibers, and offer a good balance of playability, durability, and affordability. Synthetic gut strings are versatile and suitable for a wide range of playing styles, and can provide good power, control, and spin. They are a popular choice for recreational and club players.

Synthetic Gut Tension Recommendation:

Beginners : 44lbs to 48lbs
Intermediate : 48lbs to 52lbs

Polyester: These strings are made from a single monofilament polyester fiber, and offer excellent durability, control, and spin. They are popular among advanced and professional players who hit with a lot of spin and require precise control. However, polyester strings tend to be stiffer and less comfortable than other types of strings, and can cause arm injuries if not used correctly.

Polyester Tension Recommendation:

Beginners : 44lbs to 48lbs
Intermediate : 48lbs to 52lbs
Advanced : 48lbs - 55lbs

Multifilament: These strings are made from many thin fibers, typically nylon or polyester, and are designed to mimic the feel of natural gut strings. Multifilament strings offer excellent playability, comfort, and feel, and can provide good power, control, and spin. They are a popular choice for players who want the benefits of natural gut strings but at a lower cost.

Multiflament Tension Recommendation:

Beginners : 44lbs to 48lbs
Intermediate : 48lbs to 52lbs
Advanced : 48lbs - 55lbs

Hybrid: This involves using two different types of strings, one in the main (longitudinal) strings and another in the cross (horizontal) strings. Hybrid strings can offer a combination of the properties of each type of string, such as the playability of natural gut or multifilament strings in the mains and the durability of polyester strings in the crosses.

Natural Gut: This is the most expensive type of string, made from the intestines of cows. Natural gut strings are known for their excellent playability, comfort, and feel. They offer good power, control, and spin, and are popular among professional players. However, natural gut strings tend to be less durable and lose tension faster than other types of strings.

Natural Gut Tension Recommendation:

Beginners : 45lbs - 48lbs
Intermediate : 48lbs to 52lbs
Advanced : 50lbs - 58lbs

Note: Tension recommendations are purely base on general market practice, however it is not limited to what RacketHaus receommended.
