I am not a string breaker and typically restring my racquet every 3-5 months (after about 6-8 hours of play a week). My game is maybe 80% flat 20% spin.
While I string my own racquets, I don't particularly enjoy doing it and, while I know its not ideal, would prefer to keep the restringting at the same level of frequency.
I am switching over to multifilament strings (NRG2 17), which I have no real experience with, and was wondering if it made sense to string it at a higher tension to account for tension loss, which from what I read, these are prone to?
Say I would want it to "peak", or be at my ideal tension, maybe one month or so into the string job, is there a ball park number of incremental tension I should follow by considering this specific string (NRG2) and guage (17)?
Not sure I would want to get into pre-stretching, etc...
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
