Tennis Equipment Q & A - What string tension should I use?

Q. What string tension should I use?

A: Are you looking for more distance on your shots or more control over them? Generally, if you string at the lower end of your racquet's recommended tension range, the same stroke will make the ball fly farther. Adjust string tension according to desired effect. Low tension = deeper shots. High tension = shorter shots.

At any given swing speed, higher string tensions improve control. High tension = better control. Low tension = less control.
