    Hi
    I have been stringing in about 1 year now and I am more experienced now.
    I have this question;
    i use Ashaway 67 and strings 12 kg(mains) and 13 kg(crosses) like Ive heard it should be best, but the tension dissapears to fast i think, but when i string with same amount of kg 12(mains) 12(crosses) i think it hold the tension better.
    Dont know if im wrong - uses 4 knot method and dont know what to do

    Hope you have some help and understands my qouestion :)

    zm67 does loose a lot of tension over its lifetime.

    but i am doubting 12/13 will lose tension faster than 12/12.

    Yeah but I have read that it is best to have more tension on the crosses than the mains, but is it fine to use the same tension 12/12?
