Hallo to everybody I'll start with the question: last months I've played with Carlton Airblade elite with tension limits 18-28lbs, now I want to restring it at tension it was prestrunged by manufacturer (it suits me) - question is which it was - 18? 28? something in the middle? Thanks for help!
It is a good question. Can you ask the shop you bought it from? If not, I will suggest 21X23lb because it is in the middle. A safe bet because you can adjust up or down next time when you restring.
I've asked stringer to string at 21/23lbs. We'll see. Racket should be ready in a week - I'll write if this tension is higher or lower than original.
I just played with restrunged racket (23lbs). It seems tension is a little bit higher than original (if I remember well how it was 6 months ago, when it was brand new). Original may be about 22. Other thing is I bought Carlton C-700 few days ago (tension like in Airblade - 18-28lbs) and here original tension is significantly lower. So... there's no rule... Thanks for advices!
You have to remember that the tension is reduced over time because racket has being sitting in the shop for a while. So if the factory tension is about 22lbs at the time of stringing, when you use it the tension may be around 20lbs.
