Hey J011y, thanks for the guide.
I've been stringing for 5 years now, started on a Babolat Star 5 at the first country club I worked at. Country club I work at now has an old Star 4, and I bought a Star 5 for my personal convenience at home. I've probably strung over 1,500 rackets by now when I include my own, friends, customers at the country club, demos, even as a stand in stringer for some Challenger Pros rackets (most famous person I strung for was Nicholas Monroe, that was crazy). etc.
I was wondering if you could answer this. I'm going to get certified stringers license soon, but I've always wondered why people choose to string their full poly bed at different tensions depending on main or cross. I've seen variations of tighter mains and lower cross, and vice versa. But I still don't understand why some go 54 in mains, 50 in crosses.
I feel kind of embarrassed not to know exactly why, despite the fact iv'e already strung so many rackets previously.
