How to Measure Your Foot
Place your foot flat on the floor against a wall. Measure the distance from the heel to the tip of your longest toe.
Always use the longer foot measurement for best fit.
Heel to Toe Length (in cm) is the most accurate way to choose your shoe size.
Size Conversion Chart
Refer to the table below to convert your foot length into UK, USA, or EUR sizes.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 33 | 21 |
| 2 | 3 | 34 | 21.5 |
| 3 | 4 | 35–36 | 22.5 |
| 4 | 5 | 36–37 | 23 |
| 5 | 6 | 38 | 24 |
| 6 | 7 | 39 | 24.5 |
| 7 | 8 | 41 | 25.5 |

Fit Recommendation: If your foot measurement falls between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size for better comfort during movement.
Sizes may vary slightly depending on foot shape and brand. This guide is for reference only.
Your racket is more than just a frame — stringing defines how it plays. The right string tension improves power, control, comfort, and durability, while the wrong tension can limit performance or cause injury.
How to Choose the Right String Tension
String tension affects every shot you play. Lower tension provides more power and forgiveness, while higher tension offers greater control and precision.
Recommended Tension by Player Level
| Player Level | Tension (lbs) | Power | Control | Sweet Spot |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner | 17–20 | High | Low | Large |
| Intermediate | 20–24 | Balanced | Balanced | Medium |
| Advanced | 24–27 | Medium-Low | High | Small |
| Professional | 27–30+ | Low | Very High | Very Small |
Why Skill Level Matters
As string tension increases, the sweet spot becomes smaller. Higher tensions require clean, consistent hits to generate effective power.
Key Considerations
- Performance: Proper tension balances power and control.
- Injury Prevention: Excessive tension can strain the arm and shoulder.
- Racket Safety: Never exceed the racket’s recommended tension.
- Beginners: Use durable strings at lower tension to handle mishits.
- Plastic Shuttles: Reduce tension by 2–3 lbs compared to feather shuttles.
- String Lifespan: Usually lasts a few months depending on play frequency.
Important: Higher tension does NOT mean more power. Power comes from technique, not tension.
Final Recommendation
Beginners should choose lower tension for comfort and power.
Advanced players benefit from higher tension for precision and control.
When in doubt, choose comfort over tension.
