Equalizing stringbed in two different sized heads

[Irvin]

I messed this all up last night so I am going to try to straighten it out. I used the OP's measurements to come up with the DTs that fell within his ranges. Since the tension he strung his PB 10 crosses fell somewhere between DT 31 and DT34 I averaged the TA's recommendations to come up with a DT 32 and DT 33. Since the calculations are for the most part linear I figured that was alright. Here is what I came up with:

Since he strung his PB 10 at 50/47 it seems to me he has a DT 31 for his mains and a DT 33 for his crosses. So to get the same DT in his Organix 10 he would string the mains / crosses at 51.8 / 51.1

EDIT: Before you guys point out to me that I am over complicating this again remember what he was looking for. He wanted:

I realize that the racquets will play and feel differently. I am simply trying to get the stringbed to feel as similar as possible.

Hmmm...the Stringway TA online is pretty puzzling. Is there a rule of thumb I could apply that would put me in the ballpark? I'm not looking for a new tension to play. I like the way my smaller frame plays. I just want to mimic that feel in the larger frame.

I wasn't the one that said it was easy to do that with the TA.

The strings in PB-frames do not drop off much. The string tension in X-frames, drops dramatically. Read through the Organix Club thread from jump.

Really? My experience thus far has been the opposite. I will track both for a while to see how it goes.

Actually that is odd because you are saying the smaller frame drops tension faster. I would think it is the other way around also. The longer the string the more stretch and tension loss you should get.

All of the X-frames beat on string tension. A half hour hit with an X10 325 or X8 315 will have a reduction in string tension at least 5-7 lbs. It's dramatic. See: "Organix Club" thread.

I hear what you guys are saying and it makes sense, but all I know is what RacquetTune is telling me: the SBS of my X10 off the stringer was 45.6 lbs. After several days, 6+ sets and some hitting on the ball machine, the X10 has dropped 2 lbs to 43.6 lbs. That is a surprisingly small drop, IME. My PB 10 typically drops tension much faster than that. These are with the same string setups.

BTW I am really digging the X10--so much so that I am now going to tighten up the PB 10 stringbed to get it hit more like the X10. :lol:

My comments are specific to gut and multi, if that is a factor.

I'm playing a gut/poly hybrid (Pacific Classic gut and MSV Hepta-Twist). I don't know why, but the X10 has the lowest tension loss of any racquet I've checked, including my PB 10. But I'm not going to pretend that my sampling has been scientific in any way.

If you are referring to the 82 page thread called Volkl Organix Club, I just went through it searching on various keywords such as "tension", "tension loss", "loss", "lose", "tension maintenance" and did not find a single post supporting this claim, not even a post by you. What I did find were a bunch of posts suggesting to string on the low side because the racquet strings up really tight.
