🎾Explained Simply

Think of your strings like a trampoline. When they're tight (higher number), the ball bounces less - you have more control. When they're loose (lower number), the ball bounces more - you get more power but it's harder to control.

For spin, what works best is usually in the middle - not too tight or too loose. That's why your spin score is highest around 50 lb.

How It Works

Control (Higher Tension = More Control)

Tight strings reduce the trampoline effect. The ball doesn\'t launch as much, giving you better placement and precision.

Power (Lower Tension = More Power)

Loose strings create more rebound. The ball shoots off the racquet faster, giving you easy power without swinging as hard.

Spin (Sweet Spot Around 50 lbs)

Modern polys generate the most spin when strung in the mid-low range. Too tight or too loose actually reduces spin potential.
