String Tension for Alu Fluoro?

[meowmix]

Getting a set of this string in a day or two. Currently use a kirshbaum competition and syn gut hybrid string at 54/56 or a m2/syn gut hybrid strung at 53/60. Planning to use the fluoro in a hybrid with synthetic gut. Please advise on tensions for mains and crosses.

I string it tight depending on which racquet i am using, i have used it at 64 lbs.+ it still felt good.

I string Lux at 70 pounds =D.

Says you should string 10% lower but I went from 60 to 58.

I string Lux at 63 pounds. It feels stiff after the first few hits but feels better and more powerful afterwards. Actually I should probably string it lower but 63 has usually been my magic number.

54 is most people's magic # for lux.

Try a full bed, plays better and feels just as good as a hybrid.Strung 56lbs full alu and will go higher next time.

my max tension for alu is 48.. 46 is perfect...

... Okay... Looks like tensions are all over the place.

Not quite willing to go with a full bed... wa too expensive.

If you string the full bed it will last a lot longer. When I use poly in the mains and a synthetic in the crosses, the poly would just saw through the synthetic. I get much more time out of a full bed of poly and time = money.
