Why, Bernard Tomic is the GOAT you ask? Well, you see, Bernard Tomic is the GOAT because he's mastered the art of making tennis look like a sophisticated game of chess played on a court paved with memes. His strategic brilliance is so next level that his opponents are often left wondering if they accidentally stumbled into a parallel universe where forehands are served with a side of wit, and backhands come with a punchline. Tomic's unparalleled talent extends beyond the baseline... He's the only player capable of acing both tennis matches and the game of; "How to Keep a Straight Face While Delivering Sarcastic Press Conferences." His on-court swagger is matched only by his off-court finesse in turning post-match interviews into comedy specials. Forget about Grand Slam titles... Tomic's trophy cabinet is filled with 'Best Deadpan Delivery' awards and 'Most Unpredictable Shot Selection' accolades. Opponents tremble not just at the thought of facing his drop shots but also at the prospect of being roasted by his razor-sharp banter. In the illustrious history of tennis, Bernard Tomic stands alone - not just as a player, but as a maestro of mischief, a virtuoso of versatility, and a genuine GOAT in the grand spectacle of tennis absurdity.

I always play with 52-48 Lb. When I tried to loose it to 44 Lb I had no control at all. Then I got a arm pain. So I was forced to loose the tension. I went crazy, like Mannarino style and said to stringer... put it on 32Lb ! And surprisingly I love play with 32Lb, really relaxation on my shots, less effort, good control with a lot spin, it there's no coming back. I use Head Speed MP, Gamma Moto 1.30, 32Lb. I found the perfect and confortable tension for me.

Congratulations bro.

Aloha Beckett, Great video content and presentation! Also, thanks for featuring some of my video clips, and the shout-out to my channel! 🙏 To clarify, the Babolat RDC is no longer sold anywhere unless you find a used one for sale. The Wilson Baiardo Tune Pro can measure string bed deflection like the RDC, however, not many people will want to spend $7,500. With that said, the ERT300 is a bargain . . . LOL! 🤣 I noticed a couple comments that I could help answer, but would it be okay if I provided a link to a video I created to help explain my answer? If you rather me not, no worries, I just wanted to ask you first before I reply to anyone. Keep up the great work! 🤙

Absolute great content! Awesome!!

I know this issponsored, but a more econimical option is an app called Racquet tune. It uses the sound/vibrations to calculate stiffness. Is it the most accurate? A better question is that it's repeatable/reproducible. So if my racquet's measuring 45# after 1 week, and is now down to 40, I know I've lost 10%. It's helpful to know when I should restring as I find after losing 15% tension (for me this threshold is where the string starts behaving odd and breakage is pretty close)

Aloha, With Beckett's permission, I'm happy to address your question and share a video link. I've tested the RacquetTune app alongside the ERT(700 & 300) and the Stringmeter. The one thing I've noticed about the RacquetTune, is that it doesn't always read certain hybrid string setups, especially strung at low tensions. The RacquetTune app is still a good device to measure tension loss. The best way to measure tension loss is to take your initial reading right after the racquet comes off the stringing machine. You'll be surprised how tension loss occurs overnight. 🤨 Here are a couple of my videos where I compare and track tension loss using different string tension devices. Part 1 - kzread.info/dash/bejne/a4msl8d7qrvYc7w.html Part 2 - kzread.info/dash/bejne/fq53utSNl7C2fKg.html I hope this helps. 🤙

Beckett I just recently got a Whiteout 18x20 but can’t decide on string/tension. Im between Confidential and Tour Sniper.

Thanks keep up the good work!

Thanks! I would recommend dropping down to 50lbs. I used 52lbs in my ET360+ which plays stiffer and more controlled than the Auxetic version, then dropped to 49/46lbs on my WO. Confidential feels relatively normal in the WO, but Tour Sniper can feel quite boardy off centre if its too tight.

Not bad for a sponsored video. The thing is though, recreational players like us mere mortals have to accept a variety of string tensions from fresh to old tensions, especially when polys are in the string bed. I won't restring my racquet every match or even every week. A racquet in my eyes is still considered fresh after two hitting sessions, No matter if training or match. So only pros or wannabes will benefit from this device if they chose to get their sticks restrung more often than played with.

With eCP machines the longer u let it pull b4 clamp off will yield a higher tension. Where as with lockout machines the longer u wait the lower the tension since the tension head is locked out the strings immediately start to lose tension. So quicker isn’t always better with eCPs.

@TennCom

great point! The Wise doesn't pull super fast either so I'm probably being a bit impatient with my clamping.

There's already enough tension in my home life. That's why i string at 40lbs

I string at 40 pounds on my 100 square inch racket, and 35 pounds on my pure Areo 98. I use Restring 0 in the mains and Wasabi X on the crosses the best combination I have discovered and used ever.

You mentioned a longer time taken to string a racket could lead to lower dynamic tension vs reference tension. How come? Does a longer time taken just indicate the stringer is less experienced and more likely to have a result further from the reference tension? Or does it actually have to do with the racket spending more time on the machine

@TennCom

5 ай бұрын

The longer you take, the greater the opportunity for tension loss. Often taking a long time mean you might have made an error and had to go back, another instance of tension loss, and with lock-out machines (crank) the system starts losing tension as soon as you stop physically cranking the machine

Aloha, With Beckett's permission, I'm happy to address your question and share a video link. The amount of time it takes to string a racquet can influence the overall string tension, dynamic tension, and string bed deflection.

Its all about the string. A co-poly like Cyclone that loses a bunch of tension plays totally differently after 4 hours where as Tourna big hitter Silver Tour 7 will play similar after 4 hours as it did in the first hour.

'Love Dynamic Tension! If you know your preferred DT, you can recreate it in any frame. I use the Stringway Tension Advisor to figure out how to string all my different frames at 33 DT, each frame requiring very different poundage to reach 33, and they all feel the same, whether a 98 with 18x20 strings or a 95 with 16x19. It's like magic. But, still, I need to get that ERT 300! (And isn't Tomic's name pronounced like Atomic? Tomich sounds like a sandwich spread.)

5:53, which one is it, the verbal or the visual?

@TennCom

5 ай бұрын

both... though i see where the confusing comes from. The up arrow was meant to suggest great string spacing, yielding lower DT, but I said tighter strings spacing gets you a higher DT. So I said the opposite of what I wrote but both are still correct.

So dynamic tension is springyness? softer string = more springyness.... but then how can one see how the string tension really is in kg/lbs on this converter wheel thingy? Doesnt it have to factor in the level of softness of the material?

@TennCom

5 ай бұрын

The wheel this is more of an estimator. It's better to just take DT at face value. I wouldn't say its springyness, as it only has to do with the compression of the stringbed, not the rebound.

@benjaminjensen111

@@TennCom I think that its great to know a value of a string or stringbed so there is something comparable in order to dial in racquet and string. But as I havent used one of these yet and only slowing growing as a stringer ( for myself and others) My guess is that you cant cross ref different strings and raquets with this on DT Value but only for one particular string and racquet at a time... as the DT doesnt alone say much about springyness, tramboline effect, return of energy, feel, vibration etc. I guess using some different lead weights in the middle of the sweetspot can do the same as it will change over time how much the stringbed compresses and thus gives different values in cm/inch and how far the weight will sink in the string bed..... now only need to find a weight that is right for the job, maybe 1 kg and attach a cut string of cotton and use a ruler to meassure the change vertically. maybe that will be as exact as something can be

I would say that the average player should know that the head size makes a difference and the string type makes a difference. Larger head size and/or softer strings can handle a bit more tension. And was that Mark Sansait?

'm also curious, why?

The part on demos is great. I think, honestly, demo-ing is such a shit show that if you're serious about trying a racket, you almost need to buy one and get it strung to a configuration you are used to so that you really are just testing the racket. It's not entirely useless to demo (swing weight for example should be something testable with any string) but I really think it's hard to decide anything with an old/weird string job in there.
