"Nine Basic Facts About Strings"
Here are nine basic facts about strings from USRSA technical advisor Steve Davis. This information provided by the United States Racquet Stringers Association. USRSA Copyright c 1997.
- Lower string tensions generate more power (providing string movement does not occur).
- Higher string tensions generate more ball control (for experienced players).
- A longer string length (or string plane area) produces more power.
- Decreased string density (fewer strings) generates more power.
- Thinner string generates more power (Wilson's research for their Sweetspot string disputes this theory).
- More elastic strings generate more power (generally, what will produce more power will also absorb more shock load at impact
- Softer strings, or strings with a softer coating, tend to vibrate less.
- Thinner strings tend to produce more spin.
- Decreased string density (fewer strings) generates more spin.
