Listen to your racquet and perfect your game! RacquetTune ensures that your racquet is ideally suited to your style of play. Simple and straightforward to use, the app uses the sound generated by tapping the strings to calculate the tension with high accuracy. In addition, the interactive swingweight calculator aids in customizing your racquet to fit your own stroke pattern, while the stiffness calculator allows you to simulate different racquet configurations. RacquetTune not only makes it easier to decide when it is time to restring, it is also an invaluable tool when testing different racquets and strings and in identifying which of your racquets is best suited for different types of games. RacquetTune also allows you to check whether your stringer is consistent in his work. RacquetTune includes the following user-friendly tools: Tension measurement - Quickly determines the tension and stringbed stiffness. - Able to detect changes in tension as small as 0.1 kg/0.2 lb. - An accuracy indicator ensures results are consistent. - Graphical presentation of sound waves helps you find the ideal way of tapping the strings. - Settings can be customized to serve tennis, squash, racquetball and badminton racquets, respectively. - View the tension history for each racquet as a list or a graph. - Email a spreadsheet with test data. Swingweight calculator - Add as many weights as you wish to the frame. - Move and change weights to visualize how swingweight, balance and sweet spot location are affected. - Enter target values for the racquet and let RacquetTune distribute the weights automatically. Stiffness calculator - Simulate various racquet and string configurations - Vary tension, string type and racquet head size. - Shows load-displacement curves, stiffness and elastic energies - Handles the large deformations encountered in actual play View a demo video at racquettune.com RacquetTune has been featured in tennis magazines in USA, Italy, France, Germany, Sweden and Norway. "The app is very, very impressive. I get more tension diagnostic questions than just about anybody in the universe, so this is a very good thing to be able to recommend." Jonathan Wolfe US Racquet Stringers Association Note, that the actual string tension in the racquet and the setting seen on a stringing machine are two different things and therefore incomparable - more information can be found at racquettune.com.

String Tracker – Tennis Restring Log Never wonder if your strings are dead again. String Tracker helps tennis players monitor string usage across multiple rackets, so you always know exactly when it's time to restring. Track String Wear Automatically Log every session in seconds. Enter how long you played and whether it was singles or doubles — String Tracker automatically calculates effective string wear (doubles count as 50%) and adds it to your racket's running total. A visual arc gauge shows you at a glance how close each racket is to the recommended 16–20 hour restring window. Full String Setup Records Record exactly what's in each racket — brand, model, gauge, and tension for both main and cross strings. Choose from a comprehensive library of major string brands including Babolat, Luxilon, Solinco, Tecnifibre, Wilson, Head, Yonex, Volkl, and more, or enter a custom string manually. Complete Session History Every session is saved with the date, time, duration, match type, and effective hours. You can manually set the date and time for each session, making it easy to log a match you forgot to record. Delete any entry if you made a mistake — the racket's total automatically adjusts. Two Racket Support Track two rackets independently. Each has its own usage counter, restring history, and string setup record, so you can rotate rackets without losing track of either one. Designed for Tennis Players Built with a clean, court-inspired dark interface that's easy to read courtside or at the club. No account required, no subscription — your data stays on your device.
