Hey everyone, this is Matt Sallerson with Wilson Sporting Goods and here's your Racket

Speaker: 00:00:28

Sports Tech Tip for today.

Speaker: 00:00:31

Last time I spoke about how often you should string your racket.

Speaker: 00:00:34

Today I will talk to you about what tension to string it at.

Speaker: 00:00:37

When it comes to string tension, it's all about what you need your string to do for you.

Speaker: 00:00:41

Most rackets ranges go from 50 pounds to 60 pounds.

Speaker: 00:00:45

If you want more power, you want to string your racket's looser between 54 pounds or lower.

Speaker: 00:00:50

If you want more control for your strings, your racket needs to be strong at 55 pounds

Speaker: 00:00:55

or higher.

Speaker: 00:00:56

The weather also factors into string tension.

Speaker: 00:00:59

During the summer days you want to string your racket on the higher side since the ball flies

Speaker: 00:01:03

through the air quicker.

Speaker: 00:01:04

In the winter days you want to string your racket on the lower side because the ball is

Speaker: 00:01:08

heavier and doesn't travel through the air as fast.

Speaker: 00:01:11

Stay tuned for my next tech tip about string types.

Speaker: 00:01:14

Thanks and I look forward to seeing you on the courts.

Speaker: 00:01:17
