    String stiffness vs. tension

    Pure Strike 16x19

    I use TI Firewire 50Lbs X Black Magic 48Lbs. it's a good compromise for Power, spin and touch. I did not try lower tensions. I tried 55X55 with the same setup as above. it did not work really well. the strike was stiff and balls were going either too long (not enough spin) or too short (not...

    Need new recquet Apdgt hurts my arm.

    I had similar problems when I first started playing with the APDC (NON GT). 1) get rid of the poly strings, get a multifilamant or gut. 2) Lower the tension as much as you can. 3) Play from the baseline and make sure your strokes are correct. playing volley (against heavy hitters) at the...
