Question about the effects of stringing on the shape of the racquet head.
It is known that a longer racquet (say 27.5) should give you more torque and power on the ball, and that a shorter racquet (say 26.5) should give you less power perhaps more control.
So if in the stringing process the racquet itself undergoes squash or warps,( for example I just picked up a used extreme 2.0 that was strung 16x14 and was squashed so it's length was 26.5ish strung ) is the change in length noticeable?
I ask this because I measured out all of my 27" racquets and my favourite of all of them happened to be .5" longer than the rest. If this is a result of the stringing process, and the tension on the mains vs. crosses, is it possible to purposely put certain stresses on the frame as to change its length?
If I prefer these racquets longer than shorter, would stringing the crosses tighter than the mains have an effect on the length? and would it be noticeable in the way that a 27.5" racquet feels longer than a 27"?
Discuss, thanks.
