Both my Z-force are strung at 27lbs but whenever I hit it with my hands to feel how the tension it's like, both racquets produces a different pitch. Which one is of a higher tension?
I forgot to mention one weird factor. The one with the higher pitch is the one that was strung at 27lbs but I have not used it for 5 months or so. The one with the lower pitch however, is freshly strung at 27lbs but I don't know why it has a lower pitch. Any idea?
there's your answer... different stringer... if one of them uses ECP machine and the other a manual, then more often than not the ECP is at the correct tension
Um, Same machine too. So...I don't think it's the machine's fault. Could it be the stringer's technique? But they both used the same way of stringing.
Yes. Stringing requires a lot of skill to do well. There is a huge difference in quality between a so-so stringer and an excellent stringer. Using different strings could also affect the sound, but I don't think it would make much difference.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrating_string#Frequency_of_the_wave @Gollum String frequency depends on length, tension, and also linear density (hence thickness).
Good find! I had a feeling thinner strings made a higher pitch, but it's so long since I played with them I couldn't be sure. I'm getting some Zymax 62 tonight, in a rare departure from ole' reliable BG-80, so I shall reaquaint myself with the difference.
Yes, that's what I thought. And unfortunately I can't blame the stringer this time, 'cos he's absolutely ace.
actually u cant tell, human feelings change everyday.. these u can trust. but they do cost u a fortune.

Well, I just got my Zymax 62 @ 23 lbs. My other two rackets are recently (20th April) strung with BG80 @ 24 lbs. Zymax 62 is 0.62 mm, whereas BG80 is 0.68 mm. The Zymax strings have a much higher pitch. They sound at least 26 lbs to my ear, maybe even 28. They're also amazingly good and I'm crossing my fingers that they survive for two weeks.
