stringster – for badminton
- 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
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 sensitive control
- better shock-damping performance for joint-protection at arm and shoulde

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.
This app does more of a guessing work than measuring the string tension. Just changed the age of the strings and frequency of play and this app gave an entirely different measurement with the same string and racket. Tried on 5 different rackets.
The apps not precision, I have 88s pro that string in 27 lbs but it give me 8,5kg. Beside that racquet type and category need to be update. Many new racquet not found in the list
Doesnt update new strings and racquets at all. Such as Apacs and Mizuno racquets, they are top brand as well, why can't be added into the list? New racquets such as Yonex Astrox 88 pro series and 100 series. They have been released for a while and become popular among players. They should be added asap once released into market. Sent email to inquiry but never respond. Alright..... Maybe you are busy....fine.
Too complicated.. With the amount of memory usage, why would it still has to be connected to network? Which is also take much time for response. Doesn't it has enough databases inside??
I have tried adding two of my newly string rackets. Hit by hand or racket, the apps shows 85% of actual tension (actual 26lbs but only 23lbs).
Dear lord. This is possibly the worse app I've ever installed. Won't go away, irritating as fek noise and doesn't work.
Good idea, unusable in practice. Takes forever to get any result, and then often very inaccurate.
Gives poor and incorrect readings. Tested on old, older new and freshly stringed racquets.
Its not measuring at all. My hands have turned red but measuring process is still at 0% after 5 minutes of continuous hitting the racket on my hand.
Some racket and string info are unavailable, results in failure to register the rackets.
useless and badly made app. 21lb strings reported as 15lb. can not close the app without loging out... I DO NOT RECOMEND.
Pretty accurate when measuring my ArcSaber 11. But please update latest line of Yonex Nanoray Light series.. 18i, 8i etc..
I have restrung my racket and measured it... it shows different result number and all with restrung recommendation.. what the..
useless, have to tap racket loudly for 5minute to get it from 0 to 20% complete. no one has time to do this
All good bit do update new strings, new brands, new model rackets please.. this would be great.. but for now 3 start it is
False app I tested two times and results were as follow 1. 32.7 lbs 2. 17.2 lbs
I have strung my yonex at 37 lbs with lining no 7 and this app shows me exact 36 lbs after a week played by racket with showing fresh guts and food playing characterstics .🙏🙏
Horrible app doesn't work at all Progress stayed at 0% the whole time
Can't even login with FB....Just keep returning to login screen
Wrong tension every time i checked My tension is barely 24 lbs and shown 28.9 or 30.4 lbs 😂how? I do not recommend this application
awesome, I used to go and change my strings whenever it used to tell me.And it was 💯✨perfect👌👌
Best app I've tried for on the play store for string testing but I'm not 100 % sure it is is accurate
Best app to measure your string tension accurately upto 95%
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.
