Stringmeter is the original patented racquet string tension measuring tool. It's engineered and calibrated with precision to accurately measure string bed stiffness and monitor string tension loss. The meter measures string tension in pounds, kilograms, has a separate scale for stringing racquets and comes with a very clear and concise instruction booklet that is easy to read. Here is what you can expect: "My company manufactures racquets for Prince Inc. We have been instructed by Prince to use the Stringmeter on our production line to assure string tension consistency." Wayne Chiang, Marshal Industrial Corp., Hong Kong It was thought that if a tennis racquet was strung at 55 lbs, the resulting tension on the strings in the racquet was 55 lbs. This is not the case! In some cases, a racquet strung at 55 lbs. can end up an actual tension only around 30 lbs. Several factors cause loss of tension during the stringing process. Since individual stringers handle these factors differently, they may arrive different effective tensions, even though they use identical stringing machines set to the same tension. The Sringmeter offers a standard by which tension can be measured -- a method for stringers to check their work, and a way for players to periodically test the string tension for their racquets. Remember, the best racquet will play poorly if not strung properly! Protect hundreds of dollars in racquet purchase, by using the stringmeter. |
