help I'm new and frantic i just ordered a nano ray 600 and i had it strung to 25lbs when the max is 22. I am not sure what to do and how careful to be. I thought that the site wouldn't allow you to string above the recommended tension. Is there any way I can lower the tension without cutting the string and should i be worried about being 3lbs over? Someone please help.:crying:
what about 30LBS...?
For those who track such matters, here's my list of racquets on which I have had 34lbs:
(strung with various Yonex and Li Ning strings ranging from 0.61 to 0.80 thickness):
Yonex Duora 10
Yonex Voltric 80 eTune
Victor Legend ZJH (Zhao Jian Hua)
Li Ning Razor RZ-95
Li Ning X-1 Xiphos
Apacs (Z-Speed clone)
Be warned that, in my experience, the average lifepsan of the stringbed is around 2 weeks.
On mishits, the Razor RZ-95 has been the least tolerant while the Voltric eTune has been the most tolerant.
I agree it is a beautiful racquet, more so when it's made head-heavy.The Voltric eTune in your racket list I believe also has the lowest stiffness among other frames. Especially in the shaft. I think thats why it is the most tolerant of your selection.
It happened again - and, yes, it's the Li Ning Razor RZ-95.For those who track such matters, here's my list of racquets on which I have had 34lbs:

It looks like it broke free! This is due to clashing right?It happened again - and, yes, it's the Li Ning Razor RZ-95.

This experiment was tested by machine that can generate the same power to hit shuttlecock the same plane every time which the motion may not be exactly the same as natural human performance.
I guess some top players agree with you. There are still those who prefer a tight BG65. Soft string at high tension.I've been thinking: a soft string at a higher tension may be the perfect(?) setup for both power and touch shots. At the net, the string would act "hard" because the light touch would not be enough to flex the stringbed. A smash, however, WOULD provide enough force to flex it and use the full benefit of the trampoline effect.
You know how, when you pull a hard string at a high enough tension, smashes and clears start to feel "planky"? So much effort is needed to get the power you want. Net shots are great, but smashing power goes right out the window. Then you ask people on the forums about it and the usual response is (say it with me): Lower your string tension.
Then you do, but this makes the touch shots feel "spongy". So you end up trying to work around this "excellent string" with less than satisfying results.
Contrary to popular opinion, I think a soft string might just be the answer to this problem.
Has anyone else had a similar experience? Or the complete opposite? I'd love to hear your opinion.
