Great video real original content here :) I too am reducing my tension but not too low otherwise I lose too much control and now only use hybrids to save my arm! 50lbs for multifiliments and 45 lbs for Polys. Have done Radacanu setup in reverse with element on the mains instead, this was really good on the arm! Might do this set up again sometime.
Ever Heard of the sergetti stringing system? What do you think about it? Each string gets it's own tension. Bigger sweetspot, longer lasting, better for the arm.
Yes, I’m aware of it, but don’t know enough to give you my opinion on it! Paul on the other hand will know a lot about it… he’ll probably reply over the next couple of days!
Im stringing my racket as i watch. i like to carry three rackets each with different tensions. this helps if i feel pain in my elbow or im hitting out a lot. thanks.
@@TheTennisMentor The average tension is 43 lbs mains/48 lbs crosses. I use poly on the mains and nylons on the crosses. I then go down 42/47 for another racket. And up on the third racket 45/50. I have tried 41/46 but that was too low everything felt bad. I like the hybrid system. When I played with all poly, it was murder on my elbow. However, I might experiment with all poly in the future with better copoly strings. I think the most important string for me is the mains since i hit with a lot of topspin and I will invest on better mains but for crosses, I can live with cheaper strings to save money. Mostly, their job is to support the tension of the mains IMO.
Very interesting! I use a dropweight stringing machine and would've asked about comparing the different types of machines if I didn't miss the community post in my sub box :( I would've asked if its more accurate, less accurate or equal to one like he was using in this video, nonetheless interesting video
Hi Liam, Paul here; Dropweights can be relatively accurate due to gravity constantly pulling on the bar. But tensioning methods are only part of the story. The clamps/clamp bases/turntable ensemble will aid in maintaining the tension being pulled. Inherently, dropweight machines dont have high quality parts to help in holding tension during the stringing process; and its also why electronic machines cost about 10x what a dropweight will cost. Hope this helps
@@racquetstheavenue8900 The way to tell is to measure the tension of the racket after stringing. The problem I see with machines based on springs is that the tension will not be accurate over many pulls and need calibration quickly. Drop weights are inherently more accurate and this might compensate for cheaper components. There are some drop weights that uses expensive components and these are not cheap. Most pro stringers dont use these cos its slower but that doesn't mean you will get a better stringing from their spring based machines. But they want to convince you that they do.
I usually string with a stiffer poly at around 50pds. I try to go low but Every time i get wrist or elbow pain. Yesterday i tries hybrid with natural gut and have elbow pain after a couple sessions. My stringer can't believe it
Hi Ash. Your Head Speed Pro was strung at 52 pounds the mains? And the crosses? Best Regards.
Hey! Yes that’s right, I’m testing out the TOROLINE range of strings at the moment!
Great insights Paul 😊🙌
I learn a lot from Paul every day!!

I have, and strung/used it. IMHO, it can have its place but I think that its better for club players. Having used it, I dont see pro players using it
@@racquetstheavenue8900 thanks
Sergetti is garbage IMO. Tried it twice (2 different racquets) and thought it was a waste of money.

It’s a good idea Wally!! Out of interest… What is your tension range?

Great stuff. Paul is the best!
Thanks… We’re lucky to have him at our club!
Really interesting, great insight
Thanks for watching Helen!
Lots of stringers use a starting clamp at opposite cross side especially old aero frames

No worries, I’ll get Paul to respond here… keep an eye out!

@@racquetstheavenue8900 Hi Paul! I appreciate your reply.
It's amazing easily I can reach out to the best of the best nowadays from UA-cam!

Thanks as always Patrick! 😊
go on skippy

I like the Star 5
Ooo manarino went up a 1lb in tension
I’ve got to make a video testing out these tension extremes… I think my forehand may would end up next door with Mannarino’s tension!!😅
lol
