Good point. To add, using a firm poly that focuses on string snapback for spin, lower tension can help get more spin.

Fantastic video, super helpful, thank you!!

Now 45 is much more acceptable. I used to ask stringer to do 48 back in the day of 2008 and he goes ‘48???’ Eyeballs about to pop off 😳

Total agree with you

Hello, I need recommendations. I have an Modern Eastern grip and string tension of 53/51 main and crosses. I feel like it is kind of difficult for me to hit higher balls and pretty hard to produce heavy topspin. I am thinking of 2 options. First, I increase my string tension to 59 or 60 so that I make less errors. Second, I switch my grip more towards Semi Western. I am confused which one I should take or maybe I should take both options. Please give me some advices. Thank you!

The back board you are using, where can you get it? Thanks

My experience, I use full poly, is with lower tension as the strings wear and get close to breaking the spin decreases more compared to higher tension which maintains its ability to impart spin on the ball for the full life of the string. With older worn strings at low tension the snap back effect just doesn't happen to the same level. Jock Sock doesn't experience this because he strings his rackets for each match. For the rec player that uses low tension and plays until the strings break, once they get fresh strings will notice a much better span back effect.

i think that the best is that you see the recommended string tension in the neck of your racquet. for example, if it is written 55-65. string on the higher end like 62 or 60. I think that the reason lower tension does not give enough spin is that when we hit hard, the ball goes out. so that we hit slower which would not create much topspin.

Both grip the ball, low tension envelopes the ball and high tension has the ball flatten out more.

Have you tried BOLT raquets ?

i do a lot of spin and poly is pretty stiff so i could go 40lbs??

All stings you recommended are poly. Any nylon that gives a decent spin? Another question, should nylon stings be strung at the same tension as polys or higher if we want the control to be the same?

I would go a few pounds higher on nylon strings compared to poly. Nylon is pretty elastic so going too low can be negative for control, all else equal. Nylon isn't known for spin specificly but try babolat addiction amzn.to/2VlecV4 , tecnifibre x -one amzn.to/2Ytklk3 or head velocity mlt amzn.to/2W3b04C . All great multifilament strings in my opinion.

Head heavy or head light racket for tennis

i play with a full werstern grip (a bit less radical than sock), i’m able to generate massive spin but i’m absolutely unable to hit flat/faster shots. I feel like i could work my forehand with crazy low tension, but it’s almost impossible to get my backhand game together (1 handed and like over 50% slices), the slices are just insanely hard for me to hit with low tension

The more tension on multifilaments, gives more spin. Due to more strong snap back, and less trampoline effect, in other words taming the power of the multi construction. How ever I think it would be wise to analyze the particular string behavior in a lab and court.

What poly won't kill my elbow?

Anything will kill your elbow without proper technique. Unless you use semi and up to western grip, other open-faced grips will likely result in tennis elbow with poor technique because of direction your inner elbow facing the incoming ball. I'm talking about forehand rally by the way.

@@tn746 how did I not know this was coming? Here's a news flash for you...many professional players have had elbow problems. They have much better technique than you. I've played for 51 years and spent at least 50 of those years without tennis elbow. This has nothing to do with technique. That's what racquet makers and poly makers want you to believe.

Thumper baby Bambi wilson sensation is a soft multi string. I get that. But if you string at 59lbs do you still have enough power, and it's still comfortable? What do you think will happen if you string sensation as low as 45lbs?

I disagree with this guy. I'm sure he means well but you don't know how many times I play tennis and my balls are flying out constantly, and soon as I switch to a new racket that hasn't loss any tension, everything starts falling in. It literally happen to me yesterday. I was losing 4-0 and all my balls were flying long. Soon as I switched rackets I won the next 4 games straight. Then loss a game. then won the next 4 games straight. All the balls kept dropping in no matter how hard I swing.
