I used to play with Wilson SixOne 95 16x18 K-factor at 60lbs tension when I was at 30s, then BLX version at 55lbs, then the SixOne 95S at 53lbs when I was in 40s. From 50s until now, I use Clash 98 V1 (with added lead-tape) at 38lbs due to my elbow and wrist issues. I was surprised that I got decent control at that low tension. I do use tennis-spin-maker to increase string-to- ball friction. FYI, I am 4.5 level and use topspin cyber blue 16g most of the time.

Lots of good points made. I've been stringing my own for over 20 years and I'm very sensitive to how different strings perform. One point I'd add is that temperature is another factor that influences how a racquet feels. Use lower string tension as it gets colder. A local pro I know uses three identically set up racquets with the exception of string tension to accommodate different conditions.

He's right that it really depends. The rule is that higher tension = more control, and because I have terrible control I have always strung high (64 lbs) since I took up the game again 12 years ago. Also I tend to hit a little long. Recently I got a stringing machine and have been experimenting. I dropped down to 57 (I figure it's 55 after breaking in) and the difference has been amazing. Also my favorite strings have been the soft co-polys. You'd think I'd be launching the ball all over the place and long. Instead the strings give in to the ball which has helped me feel the ball much better, better topspin, better control, counter to conventional wisdom. I've never felt so connected to the ball. So the answer is it depends on the player, the racquet, and the string.

In the 80's, racket tension was 65-75 pounds because people were using natural or synthetic gut. In the 90's Kevlar and polyester strings began to increase in popularity and the racket manufacturers dropped tension on the rackets because they didn't want people injuring themselves by stringing polyester strings with high tension. In addition, rackets were less powerful due to smaller head size and greater flexibility. I used the 2014 PS90 up until last year and switched to the RF97. I would string my PS90 with natural gut at 65lbs. When I switched rackets the RF97 was so much more powerful than my PS90 that I had to tone down the power of the natural gut so I started using Wilson Revolve in the crosses. After testing and making adjustments I settled on natural gut at 62lbs in the mains and revolve in the crosses at 58lbs. I am a 4.5 all court player that loves to serve and volley. Once I get use to this powerful frame I will go back to natural gut at maybe 67lbs. Nothing beats the playability of natural gut and if you are a player that loves to finish points at the net the drop the poly. Your style of play also have a lot to do with string type and tension.

A quick note: If your style is spin-oriented and you are playing with a spin-friendly racket less tension might mean more control. Less tension => more spin => more control.

I play with 24/23 kg (53/51 lb) on a Prestige MID and a Luxilon Alu Power 125 string. It feels great from the beginning and gets a little hard to control during the last hour before it breaks. My strings break after 10-20 hours, depending on who I'm practicing with. I think everyone needs to try out what feels best. Some pros like Volandri even play with 35 lb or less.

I find the racquet recommendations are just about always 50-60 without thought. For example, that Pro Staff is widely acknowledged as underpowered and guidance should be at least 45-55 or lower. May not be case with all OEMs. I use 48 with 1.20 Polys and love it.

I'm in the midst of transitioning from a Prince Graphite 110 from the late 80s when I was playing competitive tennis in high school to a new racquet because I'm now picking the game back up at the age of 50 and would love your recommendation on a racquet, strings, and tension. I've demoed a few frames from a local shop but most everything has an enormous trampoline effect even though the racquets I've demoed I was told that they were in the "control" category which is the farthest from the "power" category. What I liked about my old Prince is that I felt like I could swing as hard as I could and keep it deep in the court with good control. Kinda like Agassi did it back in the day. Thank you very much for your help.

I recently returned to the game after a 30-year hiatus. When I was playing regularly back in the day, I would string my rackets at 55 lbs. That was the optimum performance for both the racket and the strings I used (polyester). Now I am looking at going lower, to 45-50 lbs. I hit a semi-western forehand (always have; it's the most comfortable to me because it produces heavy topspin and greater control) and a two-handed backhand. I can remember one of my teammates stringing his rackets at 65 lbs.

It's totally different b/c of the types of strings being used today. Syn Gut vs Poly/Co-Poly etc due to tension maintenance. Then you factor in crazy stuff like Kevlar strings etc. Natural Gut maintains tension far better than multi/syn and Poly, while also having power, feel and being easier on the arm. I'm currently using a Poly/Multi hybrid strung at 53(M)/51(P) and it feels good, gives me power and can play with no arm issues. So far ;)

I injured my elbow playing with dead strings. Waiting for strings to break is no longer a good idea because few people now string with natural gut like Chris Evert played with in her youth. Poly strings become bagged and too loose after about 10-12 hours of play. Synthetic strings become stiffer and unforgiving when they are dead. And, just like it is not recommended to play with dead strings, it is also not recommended that anyone play with dead balls for the same reason.

Pure Aero...hybrid setup...Hyper G soft 17 gage at 51 lbs. in the mains. Dunlop S-gut 17 gage in the crosses at 56 lbs. Plays nicely after the first hour. Controllable and spin friendly. I went back to a hybrid setup after having control issues with synthetic gut. Works for me. Yes, I know...Dunlop S-gut is cheap string...but in combination with the softer Hyper G...both at 17 gage...it's a very nice setup. Playability for u will depend on your game. If your strings are too loose and you're hitting outside of the lines a lot...you'll start to adjust your natural stroke production and that will cause confidence ssues, or if you continue to hit out and lose points that you should have won, that'll cause confidence issues. Anytime you have to think about controlling/adjusting your natural swing...it's a distractor...and will negatively influence your game. I see pros having the same issue. If they'd only strung 2 lbs. tighter. My take is a little different than what was in the video. I string for keeping my heavy drives in the court. I find it easier to adjust/control my mid court shots than to dial back on my power drives. Maybe I'm just saying it differently.

Have you heard of the Racquet Tune app? It measures the string tension based on the sound. To my surprise, the actual tension on the racquet is much lower than what you get it strung for - even when freshly done on a calibrated machine. What tension should I go by? The machine number or the actual tension?

Was that dude Pete Sampras with a pro staff 6.0? 😂 glad you mentioned about that higher tension. I used to play way back in HS and thinking about playing again recreational. I know that even 65 are the way of the past. Before I left the game I was playing with a pro staff 6.0 or 6.1 hyper carbon stretch. I’m going to really have to adjust to getting my tension strung was looser now. Sampras was the only one in the 90s I knew that hit his forehead with a continental grip.

It's good pretty much from the start but probably feels best 1 hour in right until the string starts to loosen right towards the end (the mains start to move from tension loss). Have tried 49, 51, 52 pounds and preferred 53.

What are the best tensions for hybrid, specifically the difference between the crosses and main. I have found Techinibre Touch Gut (52lb) in the mains and Technifibre X-1 Bi-phase (56lb) in their thinnest diameter. For the first hour the racquet felt it was connected to my hand and it was part of my arm with a perfect sense of touch and a radar. After the first hour it played excellent but less than the magical first hour. If you are having any tennis elbow problems it is the perfect Hybrid Stinging that gives a ton of spin when called upon. Try It!

I have 103 sq" frame, and I use 17 gauge synthetic gut. I have three near-identical rackets that I rotate. When I break a string, I restring it at 60 pounds and go on to the next racket. After two more string breaks, I'm back to that one again, but by now it probably has stretched out quite a bit by just sitting around for six months to a year. So it's not all that different from the one strung at 60 pounds that I just broke.

Thanks for the video. Please do a video about the tension difference between mains and crosses. I assume that the shape of the head, length and with of the head, no of main strings and no of cross strings has influence on that. I string like 200 racquets a year, and see quite a lot of deformation of the head after stringing. Like the head to loose or to tight in the arms of the machine. Most of the very experienced players often ask just 1 KG difference between mains and crosses even when they have a 18x19 string pattern. Thanks!

I always found the first couple of times after a restring the racket felt good but then it felt great for the next 4 or 5 times although I had no clue why. After that something happened and the strings were never as good. Thanks for your explanation which I found really interesting. I will get back to playing tennis at some stage when I have a bit more time. I am one of those that were taught to use a continental grip for everything - I used to love playing on fast grass.

I have found the same over the years. I agree that the first couple of times out the racquet is extra crisp then goes to normal mode. I’m sure tension loss is part of it but I believe it is also the strings elasticity is what we all notice reducing. It is another way of saying tension but explains why the top pros get their racquets restrung hours before a match. I’m no pro but I do like playing with my clash 100 and freshly strung 4G on the day of a restring!

I've been playing for the last year with the Prince Textreme 120 with Tourna Big Hitter Silver 7 (16 Guage) at 62 lbs. I'm 64 and played in college (#1 singles and doubles) for a D3 school. I've been playing USTA leagues at the 4.5 level since then. The Prince 120 has an extremely high power rating (1,600) vs about 800 for the older Prince Pro 100. So the 120 needs high tension to keep the ball in the court and the Tourna string plays well at that tension and lasts over 25 hours before breaking. And it maintains tension better than any other string I've ever used.

Second option Polystar turbo 1,35, Polystar Classic 1,25 in crossed at 40 lbs. Third the best pricing but pretty good in performance Kevlar 1,10 plus Polystar Classic 1,20 at 37 or so lbs. They all give me good crispy feeling, nice pocketing and pretty spin access... incredible sound power. I used to string with kevlar and multi but it looses too quickly, I had to hang the strings with someheft for two days so it stands better for 10 days at least... I got tired of such job.

About tension, power, control I would be curious to see an analysis of the resulting laws of physics, i.e. when the strings get tighter a powerful shot will probably squash the ball more than a powerful shot with low tension where the strings take the bend. The cumulated and differential bending of the ball and the strings might be worthwhile calculating (if at all possible)

I’m now using Gosen AK Pro CX after watching your video on it. I’m also using Triax 1.33 on my Gravity Pro. Tension is 57lbs on my Prestige MP and RF97A and 58lbs on my Gravity Pro and 55lbs on my Srixon CX200 Tour 18x20. I personally like it right off the stringing machine.

In the 80’s I used “VS Gut” at 80 pounds. Yes. Eighty pounds. String was super elastic (cat gut apparently) and rackets were wood. Composites came out, but still mostly wood so 80 was my norm for me. I believe Borg strung very high as well. Broke lots of strings as gut wears quickly. Rackets are so different today. My old rackets (‘90’s) are strung at 60-65. If I string too lose it’s too high. I hit with heavy topspin, but swing for the fence. Need more control. Looking at new Babolats (Nadals racket)…wondering if 55 pounds would be ok. Any advice on that would be great. Just got back into tennis during Covid, but not looking to compete anymore. Almost 60 years old. Hahaha

VS Gut was sheep gut, cats have never been used. I've used beef gut years back. Back in the day with wooden rackets you could get by with higher tensions as the rackets themselves were flexible and also absorbed shock. High tensions to todays stiff rackets are a receipt for tennis elbow!

I’ve got frozen shoulder so I have to go super weenie with my strings, lol. Luckily I hit a very flat ball so I’m not typically a big breaker. I just put a full bed of the new NXT Soft 16 in my Clash 100 at 48 and after a couple hours it really settled in. Sounds like an absolute whip.

I use Racket tune to log string tension from stringing and found that from about 55s poly it will drop about 3 lbs depending on string within the next day or 2; most overnight. Then it lasts me anywhere from 6 to 8 playing hours and they r dead. Total tension drop is another 5% slow and steady but never falls over a cliff. And the crosses r notched preventing the mains from moving for SnapBack during impact. Time to cut out. Not sure which is a bigger factor. I’m sure it gets pretty involved.

Hey Harry -- Why do tennis players using hybrid stringing ignore the recommendations of one or the other of the two strings they use? For example, a common hybrid setup is ALU (poly) with a synthetic multifilament, and they will string both at about the same tension even though the poly is recommended to be strung 10% looser than a non-poly. Makes no sense to me, so I string with NXT 17g mains at 54 (inside the recommended range for the string) and Big Banger Ace 18g at 45 in the crossses, which is more than 10% lower than the mains, but in my experimenting with the setup is the most ideal combination for the racket I use (Wilson Blade 16x19 v7). I have looked for evidence that anyone else does this and have asked players and stringers I know, but I have yet to find anyone who does. But I haven't heard any reasons, from anyone, why they don't. The first time I tried this setup (a couple of years ago) it instantly performed better than any other setup I've used, and since I string my own rackets, I have tried countless setups.

Tennis is a sport built around control and consistency most club players over hit and actually need less power that they control Especially considering most of them play doubles which requires more precision than singles using a trampoline effect might work for pros but is disastrous for club amateurs I have a novel idea if you want more power get stronger
