How do i choose my tennis racquet string tension?

Rob Keating — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 20:32:49 +0000

I have been playing tennis for about 7 years now and i have always used prestrung racquets..i am currently using a Prince Force 3 and i love the string tension on it but because it is store bought i figure that it has a common tension. Does anyone know what tension i should pick for my custom strings?
Does it matter what type of racquet i choose for the string tension? Now i am looking at a prince turbo shark oversize i love the frame and size but the tension …..

Which tennis racquet?

I’m looking at buying a new tennis racquet. My previous racquet was a Head Metallix 6 and I’m looking for something a little bit similar but with a touch more control and feel. I liked the oversize head but would definitely not go any bigger than the 115 square inches on the metallix. My playing style is mostly from the baseline but will approach the net sometimes, and I like having a big serve. I am ITN 6.0 in Australia, not sure what that is in the American system, probably 3.5 to 4. Some of the racquets I was considering are the Babolat Aero 112, the Babolat Drive Z 110, Dunlop Aerogel 700 and maybe the Head Microgel Radical Oversize. Any suggestions or recommendations welcome.

Australia’s Lleyton Hewitt and the Yonex RDS 001. The video showing Hewitt using the Yonex tennis racquet is a bit old but fun to watch.
