    So I bought my ZF2 recently, and had it restrung straight out of the shop. The stringer bent a lot of the strings.

    I'm assuming this effects the sweet spot. How bad would it be to straighten them?

    It's perfectly fine to straighten them mate :) many stringers straighten them before they give the rackets back.

    just straighten them. would be nice for the stringer to straighten them as it would lose a little bit of tension. but it is not a big deal.

    I figured it should be alright to straighten them, done and dusted. Thanks for the advice!

    If you're lazy, I once intentionally bent my strings to avoid wear, and they seemed to straighten themselves! :D
