    Let’s say, I have 2 indentical rackets A and B with the same type of string and also same tension. Both strung at the same time and also have the same hours played.

    A: Used for front court player that didn’t do much smashes, mostly for net play and drive.

    B: Used for back court player that mostly hit hard and do a lot of smashes.

    Will the B loose tension faster than the A?

    Thanks!

    Yes.
    But I guess it's not a huge difference.

    In your example, you can calculate the maximum possible difference, by comparing with the most extreme situation: two identical rackets, one in the bag, the other one played.

    The "net" player's racket will end up somewhere in between the bag racket and the heavily played racket, depending on how much abuse it will see...

    Sent from my StringLab using TapaTalk.

    Thanks @FeatherBlaster !

    So my feeling was right, because I felt the B racket’s string so weird and maybe it had loose the tension that much. Seems like I have to change the string :D

    Wont hv much diff tat u can feel. But there are other factors tat may contribute to the diff if noticeable:
    Storage location
    If done by the same stringer and/or machine
    Type of clamps used to string each racket
    Stringing procedure / technique / duration
    Machine setting (knotting, pre-stretch)

    Yes it’s done by the same stringer. So, the only variable that different is the playing style :confused:
