    Why do you need them? Stencil Ink shortens the life span of the strings.... not to mention free publicity for YY. ;)

    I'm sure my Kimoni Training Racket can take 40lbs. with no problems. I just strung it at 32lbs. and it didn't even budge...much.

    Oh, but it's 145grams. :p

    hold on..is there any difference in measurement of lbs in each countries?Assume if it's all the same,the highest tension i heard is about 32lbs(suggested)..n usually comes from some smaller brands..dont know if they can be strung at higher or not..since most rackets as i know can hold the over-suggested tension ..

    LOL..45..if,the racket survived during the stringing process,then even a single musquito land will crack the whole thing badly..if u know what i mean..Man,tensions r not just numbers to play with..besides,why not 99lbs?:D

    I usually string my tennis rackets from 55lb to 60lb.......... 45lb for a thin 3U 4U badminton racket? Ell no! Not even a 2U.

    With the latest so-called 'computerised' stringing machine, the tension seems to be much higher and uniform than a normal manual machine. I don't know if any experienced stringer here would agree.

    The latest electronic machines are very good. But I still prefer good ole drop weights for pulling longer and therefore harder.
