Isospeed at very low tensions (ie., squash, racquetball)?

[Kevin T]

Love Isospeed for tennis and wanted to try it in my squash and racquetball frames. Tension would be 24-30# range. Would I still need to "raise it 6, etc."? Would the very low tension really affect the play of Isospeed? Any feedback greatly appreciated.

check their website? would suggest you use 17ga only or even 18 if available from isospeed. as a guess, i bet if you raised it 3 or 4 instead of 6 you would be fine.

The 'raise it six and what it fix' is a (US distributor) marketing thing I believe.

IsoSpeed has always suggested an increase of 10% over your normal tension, not six lbs...so, NoBad has his thought process in the right place ...
