42 in a 95" frame - Excellent, with no issues at all.

38lbs....
Had a college player ask for Bab Revenge strung at 38lbs in a Wilson 6.1 95 16x18. Said he loved the feel and spin.

the lowest I heard of is 1 pound, I don't think you can go lower than that

Had my Prestige IG Pro strung @ 40 lbs, but having a hard time adapting to it. Just a matter of time, I believe, since I'm already ok with 42 lbs, my actual setup.

I personally found that anything over 8 lbs. is to hard on the arm, and there is no control if I string over 10lbs.

I haven't gone below 48 to 50 lbs yet but plan to this week. Does a tension of low forty's etc., help with tension maintenance,,,,,can you get a couple of more hours out of a low poly string job ?

I tried 15kg (33lbs) polylon in my K90, but it seemed so loose that it could not transfer the power from the racket to the ball. I was surprised. Going to try 20kgs, but for now happy with 23 kgs (50 lbs) OG Micro.

I use full beds of poly @ 38lbs in my 200's and my Aerostorms. Very comfy and controlled. I like the feel after letting the bed sit for 24-48 hours before I hit it. It probably drops to around 30lbs and plays nicely for it's entire life.
That being said I use PHT most of the time, although I have been testing Head Sonic Pro ever since Timbo showed me it! -Fuji
