Tension guidance
Manufacturer range
45–60 lb
Always stay within this range
Poly recommendation
42–51 lb
String ~10% lower for polys
Gut / Multi recommendation
45–60 lb
Full manufacturer range OK
Lower tension (near 45 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.
String pattern: 16x19 (open)
The 16x19 pattern is ideal for spin and power. The wider spacing lets the strings bite into the ball more easily and snap back to generate topspin. A great canvas for both spin-oriented polys and powerful multifilaments.
