A few weeks ago I had a discussion with a player who played in the Women's leagues. She told me of a situation that just happened to her where her doubles partner gave up in one of the matches. She explained that there had been some tension between her partner and one of the opponen...
I mean most recreational players will string a racquet and then not play with it for at least 24 hours, so what even is their tension? I think if you have a reference tension and when you play with the racquet it’s in and around that figure, then all good. And to be honest, ...
A tennis racquet with adjustable spring tension consists of a frame, handle and strings, for playing a ball. The effect of the invention is that the level of the tension of the springs stretched onto the frame can be changed at any time, similarly to the skin of a drum. The possibility...
In 1981, I strung a Donnay racquet for Bjorn Borg. (I am now the Philadelphia 'donnaytennis.com' distributor). He requested a tension of 80 pounds; I gave him 72 on the mains, and 70 on the crosses. He said he liked my strings better than his home stringer in Sweden. ...
How Does Stiffness Impact Racquet Performance? The stiffness of a racket impacts a racket’s playability in three areas: Power Control Comfort Power Without going deep into the physics of it, the reason stiffness impacts the power of the racket is due to energy transfer. ...
Screws on the inside of the racquet frame, after tightening lift the inserts off the frame, and increase the tension of the stringing. One insert at the racquet head, and one on one side are sufficient but a counterweight balance has been provided.KRAMPFL,KURT...
I have two PS 6.1 Classics in pristine condition. I have had them since about 2000 when a friend sent them to get me back playing again. Well, I started back in 2014 but with a different racquet (TF 335). The TFs are about done now- one cracked, the other a little worn. I had...
During the impact itself, the string stretched by about 20 mm in the transverse direction, and the tension increased to a maximum estimated value of about 100 N. By comparison, the strings in a tennis racquet are normally woven, are tensioned to about 300 N, the tension rises to about ...
Tennis Racquet Vibration Dampeners Tennis vibration dampeners are the accessory of choice for countless pros and thousands of recreational players across the globe, but do they do anything to your racket? Or are they purely cosmetic? Not only that but do they help your game? Will they improve...
is an important part of the spin control system. The largest loads that the inner frame will see occur because of the string tension that is applied to the inner frame (or to any racquet frame for that matter). The ability to minimize the stresses resulting from this string tension loading...
