a racquet strung at 24/24lbs should have a relative stringbed tension of 24lbs so in theory the same can be said for a racquet strung at 23/25lbs though I could be wrong?
or do you mean "average" stringbed tension? average isn't capturing the whole story though. if that's the case, i can string 48lbs main and 0 lbs cross. the ratio matters. in fact, i think the ratio matters a lot.
True I think ratio is important to consider no point having all the tension on the mains an 0 on the crosses because the frame will snap but putting the math aside I think the feel of the strings is important to consider. if racquet A is strung 24/24 and racquet B 23/25 would the stringbed feel the same? Because the total string bed tension in both raquets = 48lbs
I hear a lot of conflicting opinion where they should cross should be strung 2lb over main in isometric racquets to ensure that the frame lasts longer? In some cases. I'm not sure because I'm a pretty new player and this is the first time I've actually splurged on an actual racquet for improved gameplay
please read my post above again: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...tringing-crosses-higher?p=2148452#post2148452 2lbs or even up to 10% isn't a lot of difference. if it means the racket plays better it is more important than anything else.
As far as "looks" are concerned; when I first got into stringing I noticed the racquet I strung (24/24) looked fat and short compared to when it was unstrung so I just carried on playing with it. The next time I strung it I did 23/25 and it looked more natural or isometric so I never turned back. Nobody told me to string crosses higher I just went by instinct because it "looked" right. As far as playability is concerned I couldnt feel a difference tbh.
