Due to elbow pain I’ve recently started hybridizing with multi crosses or mains or even using full beds of multi. I always use 2 piece string jobs on my Ezone 98, Blade 98 and sometime a prince phantom 100 (if the elbow really hurts) strung on an old Gamma X-ES electric, constant pull stringer and RacquetTune to measure post string job. With full bed poly, I was usually measuring about 0.5-1.5# lower tension right off the stringer. With multi full bed or even hybrids I’m measuring at 6-8# less than what I set tension, which is usually around 58 for full bed and 48/54 with poly main/multi cross. I’ve made sure RacquetTune has correct string factors, so I don’t think that’s the issue. Does multi stretch so much that it immediately loses tension like that? I’ve ordered a gamma tension calibration tool to see if my tensioning wheel needs tuning, but since my poly comes out fairly close to intended tension, I’m guessing it’s not the issue. I do notice the softer multi has some pullback of about 1/3 inch on the clamps, which is much less noticeable with poly. Kinda at a loss here. Anyone else have similar experience? I’ve searched the threads and can’t seem to find others with this issue.
