is there an ideal tension range for a serve and volley player? sorta wondering but this might be a dumb question. more on the tension preference for volleys

I don't know just how new you are to polyester, but you're not going to get a lot of s&v help there.
depends what u like. i serve and volley with kblade tour Blue Gear 16 @64 / Gosen Micro 16 @ 63. well for me i have more pace and placement on my serve with this tension and for volley's i have better placement
there is no human being on this planet, including federer or sampras or agassi or nadal, that can detect a 10lb difference, let alone a 1lb. if you don't believe me, try it yourself. next time you get two rackets strung, have one at 50 and the other at 60. and try to be as fair as possible (or test it on somene else). i dare you to even compare a 40 and a 60. gurantee you won't be able to tell the difference (no cheating though! don't pull on the strings!)
LOL u gotta be kidding me! there is a huge difference with 10 pounds. i used to play at 70 lbs, and there is a difference btw 70 and 60lbs. i've tried playing with 60 pounds, and i can't keep the ball in, it all goes flying out. however, it wouldn't matter for federer or any pro, cuz they are good with ANY racket anyways. AND also, there is a difference in sound when u hit the strings against another racket with NO shock dampener and u can hear the difference. i strung PREMIER Ace 65 pounds on one and 64 pounds on the other 2 i have, and u can DEFINITELY hear it.
well, you don't have to believe me. it's not my OPINION.
next time, again, you should string it at different tensions WITHOUT knowing which racket is which. then, you can LOL, but not before.
ur full of it. it is so easy to tell. and the pros can certainly tell a difference between 10 lbs. to 1lb. why do u think they have all these specefic preferences such as federer? he likes his racquets strung the day before and in a certain order of racquets. maybe some racquets will have a bit of a higher tension for when he might need some more control, or a little less for more power.

is that true? if so i think that was more to compensate for variance and conditions.I have been playing Professionally for 35 years and I can feel a 1lb difference. That is why Sampras had 10 frames in his bag strung from 75-85lbs all 1lb different.
i don't know... to be able to discern a 1lb difference to me seems nearly impossible. if i gave you 10 rackets all 1lb difference do you think you could place them in order?I suspect SteveL is correct.
Of course, you can't give him ONE racket and expect your notion of tension.
When I strung sets for Cahill, Stockton, and Ramirez, they all supplied 6 rackets. They asked for 3 identical tensions, one lighter by 2 lbs, and one tighter by 2 lbs. The 6th was considered a "throway"... meaning it could be used, could not, and the player would decide after tapping it a bit.
Now consider. They already had other sets of rackets floating around somewhere, travelling with them or not. And they always carried 3-5 standbys that they KNEW played a certain way for a certain court for a certain temperature.
That was 1978.
i try to copy sampras but instead of gut its poly.
all my mids, either alu roughs, alu power, or iso spped spin at 70+
but seriously good try, its funny when people try to talk stuff they don't know anything about
