Any idea why I can string Gamma TNT Fat Core 17 at 60 lbs on my AeroStormTour 16x20, two piece or ATW, (dropweight), and the immediate "tension" reading from RacquetTune has come out at 60, 61, 60,...

Exploring ATW on X-2 (Flying Clamps, Starting clamp, and Starting pin)

My first stringing with the Gamma X-2 (my good racquet, two piece) went so well I decided to learn to string ATW on an old racquet I have (Head TI Radical OS), and use up one of the free string sets...

I'm a non-string-breaker, and want my racquet to play the same every time I go out. It seems to take six to eight hours of play after a fresh stringing to level out and feel the same every game (at...

Using a flying clamp with diamond dust on a metal pin seems like it might shorten the life of the gripping surface, but perhaps not.
