  • I've heard that these strings loose tension rather quickly. Is this true and is there any way of avoiding this tension loss.

  • @topspinserve94,

    All monofilament poly and co-poly strings are going to lose tension faster than a multifilament nylon. Natural gut holds tension the best. If you are using a monofilament like this, you should consider cutting out strings if you haven't broken them in two weeks of play.

  • @tenniswarehouse uhh natural gut loses it's tension really fast i am using babolat vs touch in a 16 gauge and i string them at 60 and they drop to 57 after 2 days or so. but they r the best and i still use them apart from that issue

  • @roofbadger1,

    Natural gut holds its tension better than any other string material, period. Your tension drops way more than three pounds the moment it comes off the machine, no matter what string you use. The machine tension is reference tension only and does not reflect the actual tension in your racquet. Don't trust string meters. Most are grossly inaccurate. They are most useful in measuring the difference between racquets in string tension - not the actual tension.

    Hope that helps,

    Chris, TW

  • @tenniswarehouse Why do we have to cut the strings after two weeks of play?

  • @botakchee,

    As Chris said, these strings lose tension really fast. If you go longer than two weeks and they haven't broken on their own, the tension will be very different than what you strung them at. Chris suggests cutting them so you can keep the tension consistent by stringing them again at the original tension you want.
