Different String Tension range

Hi,

My question is...
For example, KBlade String tension is 53 to 63. When I buy this racquet at TW, I need to choose tension between 50-60 and let's say that my tension is 55. If the tension range is 53 to 63 in another shop, is it right to do 58?
And why every shop has different string tension range, is it because of different machine?
Many thanks.:oops:
 
the racquet has the tension range, not the machine, nor the shop, nor the stringer.

Thanks for your kind reply but I'm still confused.
When I order a Wilson KBlade Team at TW, it's written on Stringing information that for Wilson K Factor KBlade Team Racquets: Tension range 50 to 60 pounds, optimum 55 pounds. Wherever I buy the racquet, is optimum 55 pounds? If I haven't considered string tension before, is it ok to go for 55 pounds with Wilson NXT 16 String no matther how much tension range is in other shops?
 
String tension depends on string type (e.g. poly v.s. other types of strings) and string gauge as well as the players preference of string tension. I string polys a bit looser than e.g. synthetic gut, and I string thinner gauges a bit tighter than thicker gauges.

As far as I know, most stringing machines can string much looser than 50 and much tighter than 65, so the machine shouldn't be a constraint. However, stringing tighter than the maximum stated on your racquet will void the warranty.
