HIGHER TENSION increases spin and therefore control.This is because the ball flattens out on impact with the string bed thus providing more grip on the ball.
LOWER TENSION produces more power - less of the ball's energy is lost on impact.
DURABILITY
Lower tension and thicker gauge (1.35 plus) mean longer string life.
Higher tensions can mean frequent restrings unless the string pattern is very dense
STRING SAVERS correctly positioned can more than double the length of life of a string.
