Compare Strings Tool The String Comparison Tool compares any two strings on all the important properties that determine performance: material, stiffness, tension loss, energy return, spin potential, string-to-string friction, and string-to-ball friction....
A useful tool for this is the Tennis Warehouse string comparison tool. You can see an example of the data below for Solinco Hyper G. PropertySolinco Hyper-G 16Solinco Hyper-G 18 (1.15)Difference % Material Polyester Polyester Stiffness (lb/in) 219 180 -18% Tension Loss (%) 26 28 8%...
Tennis Warehouse University (TWU) has previously shown that rough string does create more spin (How String-To-Ball Friction Affects Spin). A short-coming of that experiment was that although it compared rough with smooth strings, it did not compare the same string in a smooth and in a ...
I made a (possibly useless) comparison between different string setups and their effects on drag. I did the calculations in Excel and I set it up so that it could be easily used by anyone to compare any setup, but this forum doesn't allow me to post an image of it, let alone the...
To measure your grip size, this guide from Tennis Warehouse is all you need: If in doubt, or you feel like you fall in between two grip sizes, go for the smaller grip, as it’s easier to make a grip bigger than it is to make it smaller. Does String Matter For Beginners? Another...

Crawford Lindsey, Tennis Warehouse, San Luis Obispo, CA, 93401 March 4, 2011 1. ABSTRACT Many factors have been offered as influencing spin: string material, tension, gauge, pattern, stiffness, texture, shape, ball-to-string friction, and string-to-string friction. Many of these theories ...
Tennis Warehouse University (TWU)is dedicated to helping tennis players scientifically compare and choose racquets and strings as well as to increasing tennis science education. At TWU we test all racquets and strings with specifically designed equipment in our lab. We measure actual performance — no...

finished playing with a Pure Strike 16x19 and really didn't like it, destroyed my arm and had that horrible trampoline twang when hitting, plus I also found it to be a strange shape (anyone else find this?). Also it wasn't 98 square inches as stated as in comparison to other 98s....
