I normally string my crosses 2 lbs. looser than the mains because the crosses are shorter than the mains, and also because I usually use a multi in the mains and a mono syn gut in the crosses and multis are more elastic than the mono syn gut so should be strung a bit tighter.
However, my mains move way too much so I was wondering if I should start stringing the crosses at the same tension or even tighter than the mains? Will this stop the mains from moving around so much?
My concern is that since the multi mains are more resilient and also longer than the mono syn gut crosses, if the crosses are tighter wouldn't that override the mains when I hit the ball? Meaning that the crosses will reach their elastic limit before the mains do so that it would be almost like I was hitting the ball with only crosses in my racquet? That's another reason I usually string the multi mains tighter than the mono crosses is because I want to minimize the differences in deformation between the mains and crosses when I hit the ball so one doesn't overwhelm the other. I hope I've explained it sufficiently that people understand what I mean.
Anyway, any suggestions on how best to minimize my multi mains from moving as much (which makes for an inconsistent stringbed)? Thanks.
