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

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,160
Sports Tech Tip for today.

9
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,040
Last time I spoke about how often you should string your racket.

10
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,280
Today I will talk to you about what tension to string it at.

11
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,440
When it comes to string tension, it's all about what you need your string to do for you.

12
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,040
Most rackets ranges go from 50 pounds to 60 pounds.

13
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:50,640
If you want more power, you want to string your racket's looser between 54 pounds or lower.

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,840
If you want more control for your strings, your racket needs to be strong at 55 pounds

15
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:56,920
or higher.

16
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,440
The weather also factors into string tension.

17
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,360
During the summer days you want to string your racket on the higher side since the ball flies

18
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:04,760
through the air quicker.

19
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,360
In the winter days you want to string your racket on the lower side because the ball is

20
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,440
heavier and doesn't travel through the air as fast.

21
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,360
Stay tuned for my next tech tip about string types.

22
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,200
Thanks and I look forward to seeing you on the courts.

23
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,960
