Full manufacturer range OK
Lower tension (near 50 lb): more power, more comfort, more spin potential. Good for players who generate their own control.
Higher tension (near 60 lb): more control, firmer feel, slightly less power. Good for big hitters who want to keep the ball in.
⚠️ Your 16x20 dense pattern already reduces spin potential. Consider a thinner gauge or spin-oriented string to compensate.
String pattern: 16x20 (dense)
The 16x20 pattern gives you exceptional control and consistency. The tighter string bed creates a firmer, more predictable response — ideal for precision players. Your strings won't generate as much spin on their own, so consider a sharper-shaped poly to compensate.
