    Can anyone tell me if there is an equipment which we can buy or make with which we can determine the tension of the string on a racket itself. Thanx

    There is a string tester to determine the tension of strings in a racket, any good supplier of strings and accessories should be able to get you one. They can cost in the region of a £100 plus.

    Kiloo, I was under the impression that was only useful for badminton. I seem to remember reading that it couldn't be used for badminton for some reason (head flexibility?). If it could be used I would have guessed someone on this forum would have bought one. As noppy said though, no harm asking.
