    OK! I just restring my rackets like 2 weeks ago, i told the shop to string 23 lbs. However, today i found out my frd's racket is 23lbs also but it feel way hardier than mine. Mine feels like 19 lbs or something. I know different racket has different feeling, but the contrast between me and my friends is huge. So should i tell the shop to restring my racket again for freee??? i only used the racket like once a week. And what do i do if the shop not going to do for me again??

    You and your friend using the same type of string as well?
    Different rackets and types of strings will make a difference as well.

    Ah.. maybe your friend's racquet was strung at a much higher tension by mistake or something.. My AT700 was supposedly strung at 24lbs with bg65p, but it felt about 3lbs tigher than my mp40 strung with the same string and tension, and also my friend's newly strung mp99 with bg80 at 24lbs.. Human error, I guess.
