String Facts
...all other things being equal: |
|
| HEAVIER Frame - more power - vibrates less - larger sweet spot |
Tension - LOWER - more power ( if strings do not move much ) - HIGHER - more control ( for experienced players ) |
|
| STIFFER Frame - more power - larger sweet spot - transmits more shock - more uniform ball response across the entire string plane |
ELASTIC String - more power - less shock - more/quicker tension loss |
|
| LARGER Frame - more power - more resistant to twisting - larger sweet spot |
DENSITY Lower (fewer strings) - more power - generates more spin SOFTER String |
|
| LONGER Frame - more velocity = more power - more velocity = more spin |
THINNER String - more power - more spin |
|
| • Dynamic resilience of a string bed = how well it can absorb energy (pocket the ball) and return upon ball impact (snap back), thus providing the greatest control and energy return.
• MORE Dynamic Resilience = More Power. The more dynamically resilient the string (or string plane), the greater the deformation and therefore the greater the energy return. |
