String Tension

By admin, December 21, 2015 8:56 am

“String Tension”,measured in either pounds or kilograms, specifies the pressure by which the strings are secured to the racquet frame during stringing. Tension has a strong influence on your string-bed’s and, by extension, your racket’s behaviour.  The following table will help you to understand how this behaviour is affected by tension:

LOW TENSION HIGH TENSION
CONTROL LESS MORE
POWER MORE LESS
SPIN LESS MORE
COMFORT MORE LESS
DURABILITY MORE LESS
