    I bought a packet of ZM62 to try on my Z Slash, I heard I should lower the tension, but what tension should I try?

    OK a bit of info, I bought a string machine and tried the following: Bg65 on NS700, 20x23; 23x25.5; 25.5x27.5; 27.5x30, I like 25.5x27.5, give me good clear, plenty of power, but arm get a little tired after 5hrs. After this experiment I decided to string my ZS and I strung it with BG80, 27x27; then later 26x26. (26 feels ok but don't feel as good as NS25.5x27.5)

    Should I string my ZS at 24x24 with Zymax62?

    Why do you want to string equal mains & cross tension?? do you want the z to become a normal ISO, short racket??

    I guess that makes the sweetspot larger, but it would stress the frame more, and make the racket shorter ?!?

    My coach recommend same tension on mains and crosses, and I read the main reason for having +2lbs on mains is just to keep same shape.

    I just strung my racket 25x25, the shape looks ok to me, will try it out on wednesday :)
