THE TRUTH ABOUT TENNIS STRING TENSION LOSS EVEN IF YOU NEVER PLAYED WITH IT

A new string job has been siting on the wall never played with for a year. What will the tension be? How much tension would it have lost?

Great info, for somebody who doesn’t play much, multi is the way to go! 👍🏻

[@davidmaloney9505]

Harry you need to put a time limit on pick-up! 6 months and you don't pick it up then it is abandoned and on to Ebay it goes!

[@a2casius]

Far more important than tension loss is the loss in Elasticity which reduces the energy return to the ball when struck. Poly loses elasticity far more quickly than multi. I've had freshly strung poly die in my bag after a week not having hit a single ball, whereas multi is still playable after 2 months. Conclusion : If you play with poly, make sure it's freshly strung, otherwise, say goodbye to your elbow.

[@allemyr]

ATP player Mannarino would love that Hyper-G raquet now! He plays with those kind of tension with polyster strings

[@brettneuberger6466]

Haha. He does a great job but definitely a slow talker. 1.25 works for me. :)

[@scottanderson9852]

2x. First thing I do after pressing play.

[@honkeyness9427]

I just measured mine - strung at 52 now it’s 24, poly. Strung two months ago, play 3 times a week.

[@terrycoffman9442]

So great video as well, but if I play with nxt Wilson string even at 16 gauge I can break the strings in under 8 hours of play, compared to solinco hyper g soft which will last me a week or longer. Nxt strings 20 something bucks hyper g 16 soft 11.99. I will stick with hyper g.

[@tegg02]

So the Hyper G after a year plus is at 37lbs. If you now strung an identical racquet with Hyper G fresh at 37lbs, would it feel and play the same as the one that has been in for a year, which has dropped down to 37lbs from original 50lbs.. Interesting experiment to try Harry, can get coach Gu to do a blind test, see if he can pick the difference.

[@greetmoon]

I would like to see that as well

[@GabrielBernardoPereira]

Thanks Harry, I'm also interested into this question, would the elasticity/playability be similar? This is the Gold question.

[@mariusstoica7248]

I would like to see that too

[@atomicampao]

In my experience, it will not feel identical. The new string will feel “crisp” and “springy” like a new string should while the old string will feel dead and unresponsive even if they were the same tension. This is because the old string has already been “stretched out” while the new string still has a lot of elasticity. My experience is only with poly and synthetic strings though; I do not have much experience with natural gut.

[@achimrosch8859]

there is a video that answer that question. And the answer is, no. It does not feel the same

[@drakulie]

When using the ERT, You’re supposed to hold the racquet at the grip, Not the yolk. Also, tension loss is insignificant compared to loss of elasticity. Even though both strings loss tension, the softer string did not lose its elasticity,,, the poly did. The result is, the poly is dead, even though one ball has yet to be struck.

[@BIGLOVE4TRUTH]

Yolk?

[@mejartomlinson7065]

wonder what happened to owner. hopefully still alive and well

[@rishijai]

He probably picked up golf 😁

[@cj_ssfsm]

So multi and synthetic holds over the poly and co poly?

[@Lunchpgap]

polys already lose a lot of tension in the first day. please do a video of tension loss for gut, multi, poly all in the first 12 hours.

[@bmanbusee3812]

If not mistaken from my reading, think natural gut holds the best, followed by multi and last poly..

[@brettneuberger6466]

Wow! Amazing. Even more amazing is that someone wouldn’t pick up their Pure Strikes.

[@markbrodeur1707]

No surprise here. Poly loses tension quickly. Multi also loses some tension. I'd be interested to know what the tension loss is with Kevlar/synthetic hybrid and also with a full natural gut job.

[@cheesquilin962]

That's one of the reasons I don't like polys. Great vid

[@garramiro]

Who the hell leaves a racquet in a store and forgets to pick it up????

[@cj_ssfsm]

It happens. I worked at a tennis shop in the 2000s. 😻

[@mylesgalos6465]

Hunter does...lol

[@rishijai]

A lot of people. I was surprised how much items were left in the"lost and found" in a common area on a daily basis.

People with lots of money I guess.

[@eiseneuter2034]

Maybe go with a hybrid?

[@downthe]

Racquets are losing tension and you might be losing money with all those racquets already strung, isn’t? Thanks for the video.

Pre-stretch does it

[@dbehr27]

Never pre-stretch anything but gut. But still, why bother even with gut? Especially never pre stretch poly. It's like a ball point pen spring, pull it above reference tension and it's ruined.

This is assuming it actually came off the machine at 50-52

[@ai0120]

Except I do not think the device u are using to measure string tension is very accurate.

[@nate1593]

Did you measure the original tension using the same tool? If not Then this test is bogus dude. Best you string some up fresh and redo with same tool. See you in a year.
