    Hi I was wonder I string my head heavy racket 27lb, let say if I have a head light racket, since with head light I am able to swing fast should I put 30lb? or do I still put 27lb. Do you guys string higher or lower for head light or head heavy??? Thanks

    Er to me. Its all about preference. Theres no way u can imply everypoint of physics or science into it. If u like the tension at the type of racket its all up to u. I usually string at 27 for all my rckt

    I don't think it is that simple because it also depends on the racket stiffness, weight etc.

    You argument of greater swing speed of a head light racket may intuitively warrant a higher tension but IMO 3lbs is a bit of a jump from your preferred 27lbs.

    feel like head light 27lb is weak, i guess head light u have to string lower since it lack of power, but headlight already give control seem like lower tension is better for headlight.
