String Facts

HEAVIER Frame
\n<\/strong>– more power
\n– vibrates less
\n– larger sweet spot<\/td>\n		Tension
\n<\/strong>– LOWER – more power
\n( if strings do not move much )
\n– HIGHER – more control
\n( for experienced players )<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
STIFFER Frame
\n<\/strong>– more power
\n– larger sweet spot
\n– transmits more shock
\n– more uniform ball response
\nacross the entire string plane<\/td>\n		ELASTIC String
\n<\/strong>– more power
\n– less shock
\n– more\/quicker tension loss<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LARGER Frame
\n<\/strong>– more power
\n– more resistant to twisting
\n– larger sweet spot<\/td>\n		DENSITY Lower<\/strong> (fewer strings)
\n– more power
\n– generates more spin SOFTER String
\n<\/strong>– vibrate less<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LONGER Frame
\n<\/strong>– more velocity = more power
\n– more velocity = more spin<\/td>\n		THINNER String
\n<\/strong>– more power
\n– more spin<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Dynamic resilience of a string bed = how well it can absorb energy (pocket the ball) and return upon ball impact (snap back), thus providing the greatest control and energy return.\u2022 <\/span>MORE Dynamic Resilience = More Power. The more dynamically resilient the string (or string plane), the greater the deformation and therefore the greater the energy return.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
