Did you know that... The string tension drops two lbs over night after initial stringing? So, if you string your racket @ 25 lbs, you have actually been playing with 23 lbs for I would say approximately 98-99% of the string's life.
Really??? I've just strung 5 rackets 3 nights ago and when I measured them again this morning the tension seems to be very closed to original.... Maybe it's because it is colder this morning??!?
Is that so? Then I should actually string my rackets a little harder. I actually have 2 rackets but they differ in tension. 1 with a tension of 20 which I use for defensive play. The other with a tension of 27, I use for practicing my offensive play. Anyway, thanks for the information. Really appreciate it.
Yep, same here. I always thought it took a little time before it set in. I guess it depends on temps. and stuff too tho.
I think it depends on several factors including the type of string, how the stringer has strung the racquet, the racquet itself. For example, the muscle power racquets were supposed to retain string tension better. Definitely, over time, the string will settle to a lower tension from what was strung).
yep... it's call the thumb press... or just the simple tap on the palm, and listening to the ping... all by sound, unless someone has an expensive surface tension measurement tool in their garage.
Is this true about the MP series? From the Yonex website, about the MP series... <<"Durability" helps hold tension. Compared with the Muscle Power construction, a conventional racquet's less durable construction demonstrates a sharp and progressive curve of diminished string tension over time. String tension remains at its peak. Seven days after stringing, the stringbed of the Muscle Power Frame continues to provide constant high resiliency for powerful hits.>> Is this true? I use a MP77 and it seems to hold tension fine, so I would like to believe that - but then I am no expert!
