When I started tracking RT I cut out and restring when the RT number is lower than reference, generally speaking I haven’t had a number greater than +\- 1lb on a PA98 ALU125 @54lbs for example.

Do I restring the racquet when it doesn't "feel" right and the number is incorrect? I do.

Definitely feel like age + history is a small factor here, Lip and Nick are really nice and make sure they let me know how much they appreciate my work - Coach Berque is like a stonehenge to me. Can't tell if he's giving me concern or criticism, maybe both? I just don't interact with coaches...

Would it help if I said ALU, 54lbs?

Little bump to this thread, for those of y’all using RacquetTune or ERT (I’m a little bit aware of the pitfalls of both of these), how much tension should I expect to be lost after ~12hrs off the machine? Percentage wise.

One of the Texas girls plays with the Head Auxetic Speed Team, lightest I've seen so far.

Tour and team stringers, 16-24 racquets/day, anything I can do to help speed up the process or make it less burdensome? Team drops off after second practice which is late in the day. I was thinking about asking them to drop off earlier but there’s no point because I have class lol. TLDR...

Looks like my issue is fixed now though y’all, thanks for the help. I raised the ref tension on the machine by one pound, waited four Mississippi seconds after beep before clamping, and used a higher knot tension (20%).

I actually had him try one ATW and one 2-piece. Both still loose for him.

Just now I did one at 55lbs and ran it out to him in the middle of practice. Didn’t even hit with it, he just pulled the mains to test for SnapBack and said it felt tighter. What if I had strung at 54? Doubt it would’ve been much different.

I thought tensions drop off even if right off the stringer regardless?

Not the first time, been stringing for Spizz for a year and a half now. Maybe two complaints prior to this time but all resolved and months in between. Never prestrerch, it’s definitely off. I unclamp and reclamp as soon as I hear it.

Also am I messing up somewhere? Have been stringing this year with no issues until the Virginia match

Stringing for one of the Texas guys and he complains about his racquets being loose. Pure Aero 98, ALU125 @ 54lbs. Racquettune had the tension at 52lbs off the stringer, but when he pulls the mains to the side they don’t snap back quickly and so he feels it’s too loose. Stringing on a Tourna...

Wish I got to travel with the Texas team at least once.
