String Tension (Urgent)

yonex bg 80 is the safe choice, try maybe 25lbs if you want more control since the tension will drop anyways.

 

bg80 woudl certainyl be good, but keep in mind you'll be restringing it more and more...because it's thinner than your (ashaway) micro 21...

 

Sounds like Ashaway
either Rally 21 micro or Flex 21 micro
both are 0.70mm I believe
Flex 21 micro might be the better of the two
both should be better than the stock carlton string that came with the racquet.

Without knowing exactly what was in the racquet originally, and at what tension, it's hard to recommend what to change to.
But your choice looks like a good starting point.

 

it depends on styling play, tell me ur styling play and i'll tell u the best tension and string that match ur

 

If you have never restrung before then start with 20lbs. This should be closer to what you are already used to.

 

I agree, You said you are a intemediate-advanced player...........and you have never had to restring a raquet before........I find this odd.

Anyway starting at 20lbs is a good start. Go up 2lbs for your next restring.....and again 2lbs for the next untill you get a tension that you feel is too high for you, and go back to what you feel was best.
I do this every time i get a new racket to find the idea tension for the racket and myself. I usually start a 22lbs though. I have found that 23-24lbs is good for my current racket.

Bg80 and bg85 I would say are a nice string.

 

Sir DinkAlot can give me a review on this few hi repulsion string.
I'am not a hard hitter,and I more concern on repulsion power.
And from your previous review, u gave MicroLegend.69 repulsion=10 and PG66=10,So what about &
Yonex Nano NBG-95CH
Ashaway Micropower .66mm (Asian Version) and if u don't have MP.66mm
can other player who tried the MP.66mm gave his review.

Repulsion Power=
Feel/Control=
Durability=

Ashaway Microlegend .69mm
Ashaway PG66
Ashaway Micropower .66mm (Asian Version)
Ashaway Micropower .70mm (Western version)
Yonex Nano NBG-95CH

 

If the poster is an advanced level player, than I think 20lb is a bit too low in general. I think start with 23 or 24 lbs with 0.70mm string is a fairly conservative choice already.

 

This is true LB. Although he has never got a restring before so he may well be use to manufacturer/base model.........what the racket came with strings at 20lbs or so, considering most prestrung rackets i have found are strung pretty low. So just changing to bg65,bg80,bg85 or something else will give a vast improvement on standard strings.

I also find it very odd that an advanced player has never got a racket restrung. Do you?

 

try bg-66 at 26lbs

 

And the expert of MOI reduction and can't rise a COG uses 14/15 lbs of spongey tension: so lame and limp . . .

 

Is this directed at me??

If so I think you have me mixed up with another user who posts in the thread 'experiment on racket balance' or simular.

It is a wack thread where lots of users are argueing about physics and applying it to racket design and doing modifications. Just get out there and train...........with any racket! If you want to improve.

Who uses 14/15lbs, man the shuttle would get stuck in the strings,lol

Or have mis-understood your post?

 

no, not directed at you, someone else with a reduced MOI, low-tensions, and a lot of 'physics' talk...

and yes, that thread is wacked...I'm so happy that I don't think about that crap when I play...racket-BS is off-court only

But I'm quite curious what Manchester has decided to do...

 

I'm using 16lb at the moment, with a 0.66mm string

 

why is that combination good for you? isn't it too bouncy, and a tad dead?
on the other hand, if you're happy with it, who am I?

 

It's probably not best for power, but it's comfortable.
It's not that bouncy, and not dead.
Higher tensions tended to give me tennis elbow, and being old and playing 5 times a week I can do without that.

 

ahh, I see...makes perfect sense.
I was afraid of getting a "super-power" "huge sweetspot" type-thing
