blurstar, You'll find that hardly anyone will reply because they are sick of this question . This is a much debated question in the world of badminton...'which is the best string tension?'. But yes, lower tensions ensure more power because if the trampoline effect, and high tensions are better for touch, but you can get alot of power. It's up to you to find boundary between too tight and too loose, good luck! Matt
