Get Modern - String Loose

Nice video from Jim McLennan about how stringing your racket looser with the new strings will make a big difference to your game.

Watch the video and maybe the next time you have a re-string, try this.
In the video he talks about 40lbs, which if you are in kilos is about 18.

To add to this, here are a few words from a top player

“The one lacking characteristic was spin. I wasn’t ripping topspin forehands like I have been able to do with other tennis racquets. I received the 2013 Babolat AeroPro Drive strung with RPM Blast at 60lbs…that’s almost 20lbs more than what I would normally string with.So this guy also plays with 40lbs – I certainly didn’t feel that I was getting the “snap back” from the strings like I would at lower tensions. When I did get some topspin, it wasn’t that nasty, Nadal-esq kicking spin; sad yes, a deal breaker, no”
