The correct stringing tension is not the same for every string: it varies depending on how stiff or elastic the string is and on how it behaves at ball impact, in terms of stability and response quality.

In general, some strings perform best close to their point of maximum efficiency, while others require slightly higher or lower tension to achieve the best balance between power and control.

Elastic and powerful strings

When a string is soft, highly elastic, and generates a lot of power, it also tends to be less dynamically stable. In these cases, increasing tension helps improve control and makes the response more solid. For this reason, the recommended tension range is usually higher than the point of maximum resilience.

Stiff and low-powered strings

Stiffer, less powerful strings are generally more stable and predictable. To avoid an overly harsh impact and to maintain good ball output, the recommended tension range tends to be lower than the point of maximum resilience.

Important note

Final tension should always be chosen according to the player’s needs, such as feel, control, power, and comfort. The indicated range represents an optimal reference to allow the string to perform efficiently, balancing performance and stability.
