i need a string recommendation for my Yonex Ti-10.... and also the recommended tension.... by the way..many ppl say they strung their racquet at 23x24 lbs or 24x25lbs what does that means? usually, when i restring, i just tell the stringer one figure for example 24 lbs.... what's with this 24x25 lbs thing?
If you look at Yonex Catalogs, the mains (vertical) and cross (horizontal) of the recommended stringing tension are different. It's preferable to string the mains 1-2 lbs lesser than the cross section to retain the head shape of the racket. I also believe this helps to prevent any damage to the rackets, esp at the 10-11 o'clock and 1-2 o'clock positions. If your racket is strung 25lbs even, it supposedly puts more stress at those positions of the racket head frame. 24x25 lbs means 24lbs on mains and 25 lbs on cross.
