    I'm using 21lbs now willing to upgrade 23lbs and see. Some time people mention 20/23 as tension what that really mean? 20/23 is equal to 20lbs? I think vertical and horizontal tension. But how this comparable.

    Regards

    Maybe the recommandation of some people is because its around 21lbs and they think its gonna fit you when the crosses have a higher tension. It means 20lbs on the length and 23lbs on the crosses.
    All together its in my opinion 20+23=43 / 2 = 21.5 lbs (cirka)

    yeah if only one number is listed it means both sides where strung with the same tension. if there are 2 numbers then the crosses are around 2lbs higher ;)
