    Factory strings = boo.

    The factory stringing is always fairly low, probably around 16 to 18 pounds or so.

    Carlton are different.
    I've heard opinions range from 20 to 26lb.
    The airblade AS-Tis and AS1s that I've had have all felt pretty tight.
    And that's with the thick Carlton High Tension String that comes as standard (0.75mm)
