does anyone here know what the highest tension that tad's sporting goods is willing to string to? I know some stores cap at certain tensions to protect their stringing machines and the owners rackets. I am wonder if they are willing to string 27x29 lbs. And feel free to put down your own tension strung at tad's sports :D:D

There would be some resistance to high tensions, but then no problem!!! If it breaks, it's due to your high tension request (no warranty)! The beauty is that even IF your racquet is going to die (not saying that yours would), at least it'll be ready with a TURBO job in just under 25 minutes! You can't even ask for a non turbo job if you tried :D

Well, probably depends on the specific racket you're planning on stringing up. Whats the recommended tension on it? There are some rackets that are factory rated to 30lbs. But look at it this way, if you were the store owner and someone came in with an old beat up racket (not saying yours is but just a scenario) that most likely won't even make it above 25lbs, and the customer asks for something above that ... if they accept it and string it up, they will accept the risks of frame failure, loss of labour time, unrecovered loss of strings/material, and have to deal with explaining to the customer the final result. So if its a customer that is prone to haggling around, I could see any shop refusing. If its a regular customer that also understands the risk, then they might string it up.

But really, who knows. If you don't think your racket can take it, then it's probably best not to waste Gary or Hugo's time. Or if you don't care, just give it to the Turbo-stringer there and waste 12-minutes of his life.

Lol! Go TURBO!!

You mean 20 minutes or more because the supposed turbo in question was not done on customer rackets as it was a race against stringers.

Lol Turbo stringer.

I can understand the reluctance of stringers of stringing at >25lbs. You need to be clear that its at your own risk (unless factory rated) as its a risk a business might not be willing to take.

hmmm i see i see. My racket is an Arc10 :D So hopefully it can handle that tension.

and who's turbo? o.O i never heard of that person
