  • Thx, how about a video on strings next?

  • @415Underdog I already made one. Go to my channel and check out the list of my videos. It is called "How to pick the right tennis string" Hope you enjoy it!

  • I have a racquet strung at 53 lbs with a poly and was wondering for an identical racquet what tension I should use with a multi if I wanted to get slightly or maybe a bit more than slightly extra power, thanks.

  • @byen8 Well, the multi will give you the extra power but if you kept your tension at 53lbs you may lose a lot of control. You really need to test different tensions, but I would recommend 57 or 58 lbs. This way the tension will give you the control you had from the poly, but the multi will give you the extra power you want.

  • I use a 47lbs, I break them every three weeks, I train 25+ hours a week, Am I breaking them too quickly?

  • @MichaelJamJackson Not sure what type of strings you use but once every three weeks seems pretty normal for 25+ hours a week of tennis.

  • haha im buying a racket right now and getting it strung at 65 with babolat hurricane 

  • nice video! informative :)

  • @MidnightEDJK I use a poly string made by babolat. I string it at 55 lbs. 46 could be a little bit too low, but hey, give it a shot and you may love it! Good luck!

  • What poly are you using?

    im thinking of trying my next poly at 46 lbs but as a hybrid with a multi at say 52 lbs
