Strings and setup records
Choose material, gauge and main–cross combinations, then track changes after first use. Record installation dates and playing time to guide the next adjustment.

From first tension to restringing: decisions beyond an app reading
Choose a starting tension, interpret the first drop and decide whether to continue, adjust the next job or replace the strings. Hypothetical app estimates are clearly separated from measurements.

Your racquet has cooled down. Have the strings recovered?
A string-temperature experiment explains why cooling a racquet after hot storage may not restore its earlier tension—and why the often-quoted loss percentages need care.

String gauge 1.20 vs 1.25 mm: who should switch and who should wait?
Use Mach-10’s four options and TWU research to choose a gauge through useful ball flight, replacement interval and cost per satisfactory hour.
6 min readSame gut, same poly—why reversing mains and crosses makes a different hybrid
Reversing mains and crosses changed static friction in two TWU hybrid pairings. Understand the contact mechanisms and retain a useful comparison record.
7 min readNever break strings? Polyester can still be your most expensive choice
A polyester buying framework for infrequent string breakers: use ageing research to record response and playing hours, then compare materials, labour and maintenance time.

Should a spin string be rough or slippery? You are asking about two different surfaces
A 2016 surface experiment and reversed hybrid measurements reveal two kinds of friction. Use their mechanisms to structure a practical string comparison.
7 min readWhy old poly can feel harsher even as its tension falls
Lower tension does not tell the whole story of worn polyester. Separate stringbed deflection, inter-string friction and changing launch behaviour before deciding when to restring.
