Better stringing through science: FUN with charts! As stringers we like to know we do our jobs well, and give the best tools to the players to the best of our ability. But how do we produce the best result? What is the 'best' result? Some things are preference. Some things can be objectively measured. And then, nerds that we are, we do! Purpose of this thread is to collect the experiments and, with our powers combined, create a knowledge base of the best stringing practices known to man. Also, we encourage everyone to do some experiments of their own, and provide method and data (and charts!) Perhaps this thread can serve as a place to get inspired, and plan new experiments. Anyways, here are some experiments with data and, of course, charts, by some of our own. PM me to add it to the list. ---------------------------------------------------- Main/Cross stringing tension methods and racket deformation - by @thyrif and @Dekkert Tension loss experiments / 1-piece vs. 2-piece and storage environment - by @s_mair Tension loss experiments Part II: 0% pre-stretch vs. 10% pre-stretch - by @s_mair Tension loss experiments Part III: Fixed Clamps vs. Flying Clamps - by @s_mair Drop weight gripper position impact on tension part 1 and part 2 (within a thread) - by @arundeep and @thyrif ..... - by @you?
