    im planning to get my next racket string with the above string.

    what tension drop should i expect. i am already planning to sting at 24 x 26 (its a AT900P) so that it will settle at 22 x 24.

    should i ask for more tension to be added.

    Cheers

    David

    As Ashaway micropower is 0.70 gauge you should be ok to string at 24x26 to allow for tension to settle by about 2lb. But make sure the racket can take that higher tension.
