What is the maximum tension that you have seen people string their Forza rackets at?
I understand that Forza rackets are all 3U in weight (ie. very light).
I have seen two Forza rackets break at 25 lbs (during stringing).
I'm also aware that the recommended tension range (in their website) is 21-23 lbs.
So I wonder if Forza sponsored players really string their rackets at 23 lbs and below.
...... and don't tell me Forza has their own version of "Yonex CN/CP" rackets too!!! :D

I am not sure about whether my information is accurate. Some expert (at least, I think he is, :D ) once told me that for 3U or 4U racket, try not to go more than 25 lb or above. Since that will break the racket quite easily.
He recommd me to do 20-23 lb, since I always use 3U or 4U rackets. Therefore, I usually do my rackets about 20-21 lb, and still gain a lot of power (according to myself, even though some power smasher in my club still "laugh" at me :p )
Not sure if my suggestion is right or not.
the problem with experts is that there are so many of them and all of them have different opinions.
i have had many 3U rackets strung higher than 25lbs and they hold up pretty well until i clash them... :)
If you have a skilled stringer, it shouldn't be a problem. I've had my Forza Ti Tech 1600 strung at 28 lbs once, and it worked fine. My stringer wasn't the least worried about it not holding up. Now I normally have it strung at 24-26 lbs.
I have a 3U 800 Kevlar SQ.. and that recommends something like 22-23 something like that.. and I think my stringer strings it around 25-27lbs and I haven't seen it break.. I have been using it for around 1-2 years...
(I don't know if I should post it here but whatever)
Umm.. talking about Forza Product.. had anybody seen the new DRYFORZE shirts.. My opinion is that they are great.... My is a ZYLLE
What do you ppl think??
