I Played With The Worlds Lowest String Tension (19lbs)!

[@benkofi8570]

Not surprised he has this tension, he has an incredibly short backswing on his shots

[@robinsoncruise2228]

And puts almost no strength

When i first learned about Mannarino low tension, a few years ago, I switched to 24lbs in my babolat pure strike and loved it. Used full polyester. Over time, I developed tennis elbow. So I switched to a flexible racket, prince phantom with synthetic gut strings to soften the impact. Unfortunately, with the extreme low tension, those strings move around too much. So had to go back to mid forty tensions. But yeah, I miss that low tension

[@coilinnunan4058]

Quite a few pros are going lower with their tension (according to a Tennisnerd video from a couple of years ago, the top 500 ATP average about 44lbs). Maybe it's partly due to the unresponsive balls that are being used these days, or to the fact that strings have improved and so you can still get control at lower tension. It could be worth experimenting with trying out not just 50lbs, but 45lbs, or even lower, too. If the effect on control is not that great, then why not take the extra power and make it easier on the body?

More of these technical videos about equipment configurations! Let's say heavy racquets vs lighter racquets, racquet balance, string types etc. etc.

Love watching Jamie's playing❤❤

[@leclercqthibaut5288]

If Mannarino plays with such tension, it's because he got a wrist injury when younger, which he never fully recovered from. That caused a lack of strength and so he had to adapt and found that solution. It might be useful to learn how to play with such tension if you're slightly injured or if you lack energy on one day or another.

or you want to have injury more often :)

You have no idea what you’re talking about lol

[@LarzB]

People play with different setups for different reasons. Depending on your playing style you choose what tension you feel most consistent way playing over a longer period of time. I play with 46,43 main cross with a 1.15 thin polyester string. That i like the best

I saw you recording this video at the Academy. Was waiting on it to drop! Great vid, keep up the good work

[@neroroseumu3023]

Adrian Mannarino is one of my favourite tennis 🎾 players on atp tour.. 👍🏻😃 😎 Joy to watch Mannarino play.. Tough opponent and a consistent baseline grinder.. 🎾 I learned to improve my tennis 🎾 game from Mannarino.. (short strokes, run after every ball and be consistent as possible 👍🏻...)

[@realbillymiller1011]

Mannarino has very little rotation on his shotmaking which when you have a racquet at 19lbs means presumably less errors. Seems to work ok for him.

[@toikissa8734]

You should challenge Adrian Mannarino :)

You look like a musketeer with that beard, looks good!

How was serve depth? Were your serves going unintentionally long?

sick! i went from 50 to 36, not going back

Do a fun match with your weaker hand. I'd prefer if you do it against a normal lefty

[@adamlischinsky1497]

Main takeaway is that worries about loss of tension are totally overblown. If you drop from 44 to 36, there's nothing to worry about (especially since most of the drop happens early, so the tension you like and are used to is actually lower than 44)

[@rbarreira2]

I think people might be perceiving the strings dying and attributing those problems to tension loss.

[@robinsoncruise2228]

​@@rbarreira2 Idk, cuz my strings rip in 1 month, so there isnt much time for the string to die right?

[@rbarreira2]

@@robinsoncruise2228 If you're a hard hitter the strings probably lose elasticity quickly. They don't die just because time passed if I understand correctly, it's more the material losing its properties with each hit.

[@Dadada31779]

@@rbarreira2😂 this is so true. People equate dead strings to lost tension. Which depending how hard you hit could happen after 3-6 sessions.
