Racquet Strings [How to Play With a Broken String]

You're in the heat of a match, and suddenly, your strings snap in the middle of a crucial rally. What's your next move?
The rally has ended. Now, what would you do if you had only one racquet? In this video, I'll share two common scenarios and one uncommon Broken String Scenario.
RELATED RULES Q & A - 2024 Friend at Court Handbook of Rules and Regulations
Q1: During a point, a player accidentally breaks the strings. Can the player continue to play another point with this racquet?
A1: Yes, except where specifically prohibited by event organizers.
Q2: Can a player tie off the broken strings and continue to play?
A2: Yes, if the tie-off knots are outside the pattern of the crossed strings (i.e., at the grommet or frame), similar to placing a vibration dampener on the strings.
NOTE: The player would have to do it quickly if between points due to the 25-second rule for continuous play.
NOT MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO
Sam told me that he initially borrowed a racquet from his opponent, but he felt the racquet head was too heavy. Although I didn't know what kind of racquet that was, I told Sam that he probably felt that way because of the excessive wear on the top of the head of his racquet.

aloha albert. sometime long ago (early 70's) i learned probably reading tennis or world tennis magazines, the tip was to go to the net and hit a volley. im sure it depends on the situation, what shot broke the string and where you are on the court. next time i restring my racquet, i'll cut one of the strings and try playing with it. wish me luck...

[@AMstringing]

Aloha Coach Dudley, That does make sense since you'll probably want to end the rally sooner than later. 🤔I wonder what would happen if you had to hit an overhead at the net? Good luck! 😆

Aloha Felipe, Thanks for watching. Are you referring to me or Sam? 🤣

@@AMstringing can I use amstring on the phone when speaking to customer service ? My orders are predominantly over the phone , where I can speak to people to get a proper deal . I have to also use the demo credit and discuss the specs for custom matching and stringing tensions and strings .

@@derekpappas1556 I appreciate your support and checking with me. I emailed TW and hope to hear back from them tomorrow. If you need to place your order immediately and can't wait, no problem.

@@AMstringing I can wait , the sale does not end until the 27th . I have asked them in the past about checking names and if others were in the u.s database , it should not be an issue . The thing to watch for is them allot the completed sale order number to your credit . either way I will inform them if there is a racquet with my correct specs , then I will inform them of your affiliate name and send you my order number on this comment video page or any other means you may prefer . My location is in NY , EST .
