Yes. I'm surprised that I still get a sufficient amount of feel, though, since my racquets are strung so tightly. Well, the Prestige helps, of course.

59 is what I string at. It allows me to keeps just enough control, but also keeps the power there.

It is what I tell the stringer at the pro shop to string my rackets at. I get all my rackets without string then purchase the string I like and get them strung to what tension I like at the club I belong to. That is how I know what tension my rackets are.

I practiced for the last month with racquets strung at 28. It actually suits my game very well. It accentuates my spin and it generates its own pace, which doesn't make me as tired. It really helps my slice serve. I got like 12 aces yesterday. Also helps the backhand by adding more topspinand makes my forehand smoother.

Wow, 28! That's even lower than McEnroe's 40-something... if it works, than I say go with it! Very Happy

Yeah, i'll probably stick with it. During my serving practice my coach was like "Shocked Did you really work on your serve this week?". Laughing It makes me work on my technique because if my swing was too late or too early or I was lazy with my footwork and didn't put much effort into getting ready, the ball would fly on me. So it really helped me improve.
