    Hi all, i have a Sintec Advance 88 Grommet. It is strung with Forten 65 Titanium String @ 28lbs. How low will the String Tension continue to drop before it stops ?

    I'm not very familiar with the string but my guess would be 2-3lbs like most strings?

    So will the string tension stop dropping after dropping down by 3lbs to 4lbs ?

    Well sorta, it dramatically slows down, so there shouldn't be ANY DIFFERENCE what so ever after it does.

    That's just in my experience though.

    I have a question too, how do you calculate how much your string tension is at right now after a few uses?

    Well, i just press against my string bed to see if it is easier to press downwards, compared to the time when i just strung my racquet. If it is much easier to press the strin bed, it means that the tension has dropped.
