For most strings, the higher the reference tension, the stiffer the string.
However, according to TW University string db (http://twu.tennis-warehouse.com/learning_center/reporter.php), this is not true for Pacific Classic NG 16g.
Here are the stiffness ratings from TWU:
40lbs = 95.4
51 = 100.0
62 = 90.9.
Question:
Have you noticed this in your own personal experience?
Is NG softer at higher tensions like 62lbs?
I tried 40lbs and 51lbs reference tension for NG mains hybrid(same everything else).
What I noticed is that at 40lbs, there is a loss of power compared to 50lbs.
I did not noticed any change in softness. In addition, the NG mains moves a lot more at 40lbs than at 50lbs (same cross material).
