The Global Story Behind ReString Tennis Strings

The Global Story Behind ReString Tennis Strings

Two childhood friends meet playing tennis in Japan.

They separate for a decade.

Then they reunite over Zoom and build one of tennis's most innovative string companies.

This is how Juan and Nick created ReString, the American brand that spans four countries to deliver strings that outperform the corporate giants.

Met in Japan, Grew on Zoom

Juan and Nick met as junior doubles partners in Japan. Juan was born in Argentina, Nick in Hong Kong, but both grew up competing in Japan's tennis scene.

After high school, they went separate ways. Juan moved to the US for college tennis and Nick stayed in Japan, building expertise in manufacturing and Asian markets.

In 2020, a pandemic Zoom call changed everything. Their shared love for tennis and complementary skills created the perfect partnership.

Juan understood what pro players needed from strings, having been an ATP and WTA hitting partner. Nick knew how to make it happen with his manufacturing connections in Asia.

The idea for ReString was born.

Cross-Continent Manufacturing

Building ReString’s first string meant three years of cross-Pacific trips. Juan and Nick refined every detail through intensive product development sessions.

They chose quality over convenience, partnering with specialized manufacturers based on each facility's strengths.

Zero and Sync are crafted in Korea, where advanced polyester technology delivers the snapback and longevity these strings are known for.

Vivo is produced in Taiwan, where recycled polyester technology creates exceptional performance while supporting sustainability goals.

Each string is made where it can be made best, not where it's most convenient.

American Operations, Global Reach

Juan's US base handles all operations, from strategy to customer service.

All ReString products are packaged and shipped from the US, regardless of where they're made. When you order, your package comes from America, not overseas warehouses.

ReString now distributes worldwide, but every string passes through our US facility first.

The ReString Difference

ReString proves innovation doesn't need massive corporate resources. Sometimes it just takes two friends with the determination to create something better.

Your next restring doesn't have to come from a faceless corporation. Try strings from two friends who reunited to reimagine tennis strings.

Experience the power of Zero, the control of Sync, or the sustainable performance of Vivo.
