    Hi,

    I've just broken the strings on my yonex ti-5 light and am struggling to decide what tension to have it restrung at. I'm an intermediate player, mainly offensive with a good smash. I play both singles and doubles.

    My Ti-5 was strung with yonex bg65 titanium and i think within the recommended tension limits (16-18 lbs main, 18-20 lbs cross). These tensions seem very low and i felt like it was really limiting my power.

    I'm thinking of going for yonex BG80 and around 22lbs tension, however is this still too low? I'm wary of going too high as I'm not sure what tension the frame will actually be able to take

    Any suggestions?

    thanks
    Andy
