About this app

Play badminton more effectively with a perfectly strung badminton racket! The stringster app measures the tension level of your strings by their sound. This helps you:

- to check your stringer’s performance
- to monitor the loss of tension over the course of time
- to identify the appropriate point of time for new strings

Why is this so important? When the strings wear out, the precision and the touch of the racket get lost – just as a racing car’s wheels start spinning when its tires are worn out.

Playing your badminton racket with fresh strings has many advantages:

- higher repulsion power for longer clears and faster smashes
- better feel for the ball and more controled hits
- better shock-damping performance for joint-protection at arm and shoulder

Ratings and reviews

been using for a year now and loving this app. One small annoyance that sticks out is how the image of the racket loads too slow. If we have more than 6 rackets and scrolling fast it gets boring fast having to read which model of racket instead of immediately identify it visually. Please preload our own uploaded images of racket so that we can identify it faster.

Have no reference to tell if figures it gives are accurate but it does measure lower tension as Strings age so is a good guide. I got racket strung at requested 26lb that sounded awful and felt loose when I got it. The app said it was 20lb which was probably close. Got another one strung at requested 27lb yesterday that sounded and felt tight and app said 28lb so again probably close. Downside is I paid so I could add another three rackets but it won't let me add any!!

I found it really helpful. The tip is you should use an tough and round head object then hit at center of the net then make sure the sound is quick and consistent so that the measurement can be approximately precise.
