    I recently broke the strings of my only racquet :crying: (brought a new one now), i was wondering, because sometimes, when i lose a point, i pick at the racquet strings, is that bad for it? Would it last longer if i didnt pick at it? Did that make sense to you?

    Pick at it as in re-adjusting the strings after it has moved when finished with a rally. For me, I re-adjust my strings when I see it's out of place. Look at tennis players, they always do it...I see no harm in doing it.

    Doesn't do any harm at all - in fact, having the string out of place would probably do more damage in the long run:)

    I always readjust the strings, no issues with it. You want an even string bed for the best performance anyway.
