String Tension
“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 |
