The patterns, materials, compositions, tensions, and overall stringing process come together for one final result that can either diminish or enhance your game.
Before analyzing each of these elements you need to know that tennis strings are broken down into the following key characteristics: power, control, spin, durability, touch and feel.
For the purposes of tennis, string tension is a measure of pounds or kilograms that is applied to the string when pulled by a stringing machine. Therefore, if you hear someone say that the string tension is 60 pounds or 25 kilograms, that is the amount of tension applied when the string is in a pulled state.
