Une raquette de tennis fixée sur une machine pendant la pose du cordage
Cordages et tension

De la première tension au remplacement : au-delà du chiffre de l’appli

Choisir la tension initiale, interpréter la première baisse et décider de continuer, de modifier la prochaine pose ou de remplacer. Les estimations fictives de l’appli sont identifiées.

Une raquette de tennis et deux balles posées sur un court
Cordages et tension

Votre raquette a refroidi. Le cordage a-t-il récupéré ?

Une expérience sur la température des cordes explique pourquoi refroidir une raquette après un stockage au chaud ne rétablit pas forcément sa tension, et pourquoi les pourcentages de perte souvent cités demandent de la prudence.

Un jeu de cordage emballé à côté d’une grande bobine, avec les diamètres en millimètres indiqués sur les étiquettes
Cordages et tension

1,20 ou 1,25 mm ? Ce que ces 0,05 millimètre ne peuvent pas promettre.

Un cordage plus fin n’est pas forcément plus souple ni meilleur pour le lift. Distinguez diamètre, rigidité à l’impact et durée de jeu satisfaisante avant de choisir une jauge ou une bobine.

Même boyau, même polyester : inverser montants et travers change l’hybride

Cordages et tension

Un cordage à effets doit-il être rugueux ou glissant ? Vous parlez de deux contacts différents

L’accroche entre la balle et le cordage et les frottements entre montants et travers jouent des rôles différents. Comment lire les promesses de prise d’effet, les essais d’hybrides et le déplacement visible des cordes sans les confondre.

Cordages et tension

Pourquoi un vieux polyester peut sembler plus dur alors que sa tension baisse

La perte de tension n’explique pas tout : déformation du tamis, frottement entre les cordes et trajectoire de sortie peuvent évoluer différemment. Voici comment décider quand recorder.
