Lately I have had significant variations and inconsistencies between reference tension I ask for and what I get from stringers. For example, In one case I asked for 53#, I got 46-47 (measuring using the frequency amplitude method, all natural gut), another instance I asked for 55# and got 60, and these are through different stringers. The next two instances were similar and all over the place.
This is creating an issue with my game as the racquets are behaving differently, and it takes me time to adjust my strokes. First, is this normal in your experiences? Second, this situation is leading me to think maybe I should string my own. I do not expect that I will hit my reference numbers, but I think at least I'd be more consistent; do you think I am realistic or my expectations are misaligned?
I'd appreciate your thoughts on this, thank you all.
