i basically play 17-18 hours of tennis in a week some days more than others but i play atl least 1 hour and abit everyday. And MY racket strings keep breaking every 2weeks, i use prince duraflex synthetic gut and string it mid-tension
Is this normal or is there something wrong with my racket
i would like to string my own rackets but i do not know where to buy the string machine thing and how much it would cost. any opinions on this?
This is normal for someone like to you since you are playing a lot of tennis. If your NTRP rating is more than 3.0 I would recommend you go up 1 level and try Multifilament, an upgrade to the synthetic gut. It more durable than synthetic gut yet it will still have same feel and touch on the ball. It will also have more spins too. However it comes with a higher price. If you are breaking Multifilament like synthetic gut, then level 3 is Polyester. It is the most durable string available in the market, most pros are using this type of strings.
You can start stringing your own racquet with machine as low as 200-300 bucks to start. I worked with 2 machines, one is Ektelon which is about 300$ and Babolat Star 5 $3000 .

What tennis strings should I use?
I currently have a wilson ntour two strung with prince topspin with duraflex and 57 lbs, I am going to buy a wilson Ksurge and I am not sure what strings to get. I used the Ksurge and i have to swing harder to get the power i want when compared to the ntour. I like a balance between spin and durability with a little power but i like to swing hard to provide my own power so thats not as big of an issue. Thanks
I know I go through strings like a fat kid goes through cake. Just this year I've had my racket restrung at least 8 times. So I've dabbled around with strings for a while and my regular string of choice is Prince Topspin Plus 16, its a yellow greenish string that is fairly common and cheap (around $20) Hope I helped
I forgot to say I've also dabbled with tension and I have my racket strung at 58.
