I don't know the tension, but it "pings" surprisingly high. I haven't hit with it -- it's too irreplaceable. I have no idea how old the strings are, or how to replicate this string job. Actually, I...

What can I say? I simply had to try the O3 Speedport Black.



It's something like 19 kg*cm2 lower than the swingweight of the Speedport Black with the hole inserts!
