real gauge of Prince RPemier Attack/Control

[crism54]

Hello,
many strings have a real gauge slightly different from the nominal, such as rip control (1.20> 1.28 and 1.30> 1,38): there is someone who knows or can tell me where I can find the real caliber of the prince premier control/attack 1.30 and 1.35 mm?
thanks,
BR

This site has the diameters of the Attack 16 (1.30) and 17 (1.26). The chart is sorted by stiffness, 205 for 16 and 196 for 17.

thanks very much. but for gauge 15L ?

You're welcome. That's all I got.

Don't answer if you don't feel like it, but why are you concerned with nominal gauges? For an 18x20 pattern, use the 17 Ga. For a 16x19 pattern, use the 16 and for wider string spacings, use the 15 or 15L. You should also be aware that when the strings are put under tension, they will stretch and their diameters will decrease. Since these are multi, they will stretch a lot; probably more than 5% depending on tension. 2 cents.

I believe 15 L is stated at 1.38 and 15 at 1.40

I know very well the sector of strings and all the factors to be considered.
I ask because often the real diameter is slightly or very different from the nominal: the nominal gauge of 1,35 could have a real string by 1,32 or 1:38, and this is very different.

 

[esgee48]

Yes, but applying 50# of tension to any gauge string will result in (1) 50# of tension and (2) a decrease in diameter due to stretching. 'So what' is my response. Now if you are concerned about SBS or DT reading, then that is a different story. To find a string bed stiffness you like could very well depend on the thickness of the string. To find SBS, you'll need RT or ERT 300 and you'll need to experiment.

how do you guys find the tension maintenance of PPC? I don't break strings often and am looking for great tension maintenance with not too much power. (Gut is due to the weather not an option)
