Does String Pattern Make A Difference For Control??

[bswain06]

Should I request I specific string pattern for my Head Liquid Metal 6 (OS) if I want more groundstroke control??? I was going to ask for 18x19...what I normally hit with.

dense string pattern = more control, less feel, less power
open string pattern = more spin, more power

 

[pow]

dense string pattern = more control, less feel, less power
open string pattern = more spin, more power

Why does dense have less feel?

is 18X19 a dense pattern???

Whats the next most dense pattern??

16x18, 18x20, and 18x19 with the last one being the most dense. The dense the pattern the less spin you generate, your strings last longer generally than a 16x19 frame. Does that help?

i would agree with everything except the less feel part.... More strings in contact with the ball give you more feel.
