From Luxilon’s instagram. Any guesses on who gets strung @ 13 lbs?

 

[Shaolin]

I'd love to know who is stringing at 13lbs.

You could go net fishing with that racquet.

Who strings at 79 lbs?

 

[Nostradamus]

Who strings at 79 lbs?

Borg's ghost. and where are the videos of them stringi ng ?

 

[Shaolin]

Who strings at 79 lbs?

Thats pretty insane too but they could be using gut or something. I find the 13lbs truly crazy. Could just string it by hand.

 

[BrokenForehand]

the answer is: 79 lbs for kei nishikori

 

[MRfStop]

Sure

 

[BrokenForehand]

Sure

still sure?

 

[MRfStop]

still sure?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Yoneyama]

The photo of the "79lbs" racquet is different to the photo of Keis racquet. Just check the overgrips/ grip tape.

 

[Zoid]

13lbs = mikhail kukushkin or daniel nestor

79 lbs = a female player/all gut set up

my guesses

 

[uk_skippy]

Top picture is Barbara Strycova with Lux Original usually around 36kg; bottom picture is Kei's. You can see the grip tape is a different colour; and the string being pulled in the bottom pic is not Original.

I really dont' think that racket is Wilson Ultra although it is painted like one.

When I first saw the post I assumed Nestor was the low tension and Venus was the high tension since she already normally strings around 68-70 lbs.

Doesn't the stringer complain that they have to string at such a high tention like 70 lbs ? as a stringer, that puts you at high risk for breaking the string right there on the machine. even the best stringers will tell you that.

Thank you….Nestor was the guy I was going to guess but couldn't think of the name. Kept picturing Steve Buscemi in my mind.

The customer is always right. If they want their racquet strung at 80, you'll string it at 80. The customer has to know the risks that come with that tension.

I watched him play up close at Cincinnati last year and you can clearly hear the difference in his tension compared to other players. It's crazy.

shots are coming at him at 80-90 mph most of the time, how does he control it without flying off into the fence

Maybe it's because he's good or something.

If i had a throwaway frame, i would give it a go at 13 pounds.

 

[treo]

The photo labeled 79lbs is a 16x15 pattern which is what Strycova uses and probably a Steam 105S painted as a Burn. Open pattern, oversize is a likely candidate for high tension.

Dustin Brown supposedly strings 4g at 82 lbs.

Wouldn't it easier and better to just go to lower powered frame ? instead stringing so tight to get the control. or just go to lower powered poly, I know once you get hooked on 4G, it is addicting. and I had no idea that 4G could be strung so high without breaking even....

 

[Nostradamus]

why does it have to be throw away frame ?? 13 lbs is nothing,,, No stress on the racket at all.

Check out the low tensions thread in the strings/stringing section…Chris E. talks a lot about stringing down into the 10 range and his experiences.

It was 70/68lbs gut/4g hybrid

True, but I only ave three frames. I hate playing in tournament with only two frames. I'm planning to get the fourth and five soon. then i would try the 13 pounds.

Why does Nestor get his racquets strung so low?

He likes it that way

Strycova and yes I’m sure.

 

[1HBHfanatic]

Strycova and yes I’m sure.

When I string high, I always tend to rock backwards on my heels as the string goes under tension,,,
most times its no issue, but I always fear the posability of it snapping,,,
I wear prescription glasses (specially while stringing), so i know at least my eyes are somewhat protected
