Default What tension do you string at?

Hey

I recently started stringing, and I was wondering what do you guys string your racquets at?

I string mine at 52

Wow, you guys string relitively high.

I cant stand high tensions.. The racquet(I think) loses its feel.

And dont you get more power stringing it lower? And vice versa?

And I also use babolat pro hurricane tour 16g

Ipex 7.0 MP w/ TNT Fatcore @ 62. This was my first experience w/ Fatcore, and the stringbed's a little too stiff. I think I'll drop a few pounds next time.

yonex ti-50 57/55 i went with 55 on the poll. i think with hybrid stringing being so popular it's better to give more of a range instead of individual numbers.
