Heavy sheep gut was commonly used for the stringing of these racquets. It is interesting to note that, before the invention of a new method of stringing a tennis racquet in 1856, the old way of stringing consisted of looping the side strings round the main strings. This produced a rough and smooth effect in the strings and hence came the practice of calling “rough” or “smooth” to win the toss at the beginning of a lawn tennis match.
