    String-tension has very little to do with what racket you use.
    It's partly personal preference, and partly player ability (better players often prefer higher tensions - for reasons that have been discussed many, many times before - do a search).

    If you're unsure, I'd suggest you start at around 23-24lbs (can't go too far wrong with that IMO) - then maybe try raising/lowering it by 1-2lbs next time.

    Ohh i was been told that some racket wont be able to withstand the strong tension, and might damage the frame instead.
    Noted, I will start with 23lbs. Thanks for the feedback
