Hey everyone, this is Matt Sallerson with Wilson Sporting Goods and here's your Racket

Speaker:

Sports Tech Tip for today.

Speaker:

Last time I spoke about how often you should string your racket.

Speaker:

Today I will talk to you about what tension to string it at.

Speaker:

When it comes to string tension, it's all about what you need your string to do for you.

Speaker:

Most rackets ranges go from 50 pounds to 60 pounds.

Speaker:

If you want more power, you want to string your racket's looser between 54 pounds or lower.

Speaker:

If you want more control for your strings, your racket needs to be strong at 55 pounds

Speaker:

or higher.

Speaker:

The weather also factors into string tension.

Speaker:

During the summer days you want to string your racket on the higher side since the ball flies

Speaker:

through the air quicker.

Speaker:

In the winter days you want to string your racket on the lower side because the ball is

Speaker:

heavier and doesn't travel through the air as fast.

Speaker:

Stay tuned for my next tech tip about string types.

Speaker:

Thanks and I look forward to seeing you on the courts.

Speaker:

Well, there you have it.
