RacquetTune - String Tension

아시다시피 카본 소재 대중화된 이후 새로 출시되는 라켓에 적용되는 기술들은 의미있는 것들이 없습니다. 즉 페인트만 바뀐 라켓들이라는 것이죠. 정말로 플레이에 변화를 줄 수 있는 요소는 따로 있습니다. 바로 무게와 스윙웨이트, 경도, 스트링패턴. 이것들 중 앞의 두가지 요소는 새 라켓을 사지 않고도 직접 조정이 가능합니다. 이 앱이 있다면 말이죠ㅎㅎ 원하는 스팩을 얻기 위해서 어느 위치에 얼만큼 무게를 추가해야 하는지 시뮬레이션해주는 기능은 발군입니다. 수십만원 주고 새 라켓 사지 마시고 몇천원짜리 납테이프 사서 무게와 스윙웨이트를 바꿔보세요. 엄청 재미난 세계가 펼쳐 집니다.

그럭저럭괜찮은데

To get it right, get a new string on your racquet and play with the value of the string factor until match the value tension of you new strings.. it works for me 👍

I restrung my racquet at 55#. This app said the tension was 40.2# right after I finished. I checked the string factor and ensured that I’d entered the correct values all the parameters (e.g. string pattern, racquet face size). I followed the measurement procedure to the letter. I could believe a couple lb. change but 15? Nyet. The racquet plays like 50-55. A Gamma String Tension Tester said the two center main strings were at 55# and the two center cross strings were at 39 and 40#. Why are other users getting numbers close to the tension at which they strung? Not even close for this app. Sorry

Don’t waste your money

It’s almost too good to be true. I get readings and I think, no, it must be wrong. It can’t be a mistake a made. Sure enough, I did something wrong. When I string exactly the same, I get the exact same output. This is an amazing app. It has helped me string better and learn more about how my string tension changes over time. Well done!!

I place the phone on a table, lay the racquet about an inch above it and use a wooden spatula to hit the strings. It has a delta of +/- 4-5 lbs and is hard for me to trust.

I have had this App for a week now and the results have been much better than expected! I use it to find out how much tension drops after each playing session.

Fantastic app. Incredibly useful to graph how the racket loses tension over time. Readings are very accurate. (note, if I’m stringing a poly, I can sometimes lose up to 10% by the time it’s off the stringer, then maybe another 10% over the next 48 hours) String factor accuracy is crucial, and the online database can be hit or miss, you’ll see lots of variation in there. You should measure this yourself to make sure it’s accurate, because it will greatly affect the reading. I use the weight method, and that’s worked out well for me so far.

It doesn’t give you consistent tension. It gives me different tension every time. Total garbage.
