The Ball Flies at Altitude—Should You Change Tension?
A large equipment change before you adapt to the air and ball can hide the real cause.
Player overview
Flight conditions change at altitude, so the ball may fly longer than usual. Evaluate any tension adjustment alongside adaptation to the ball, trajectory, and swing.
Measurement guide
- Using the designated local ball on the local court, record the rate of long errors in your first session.
- Check whether the depth problem remains after adjusting net clearance and spin.
- For a multi-match trip, raise the tension slightly on only one backup racquet with the same string, then make an A/B comparison.
Latest measurement
When conditions change, keeping one racquet as the reference gives you the most valuable data.
