best tension for guys: 24 to 26

naa daghan. magkamahal magkanindot. kung kaya sa budget ang mahal nga racquet like yonex, prince, wilson, trump, etc. mas maayo.

sa mga gaisano stores daghan baligya. tan-awa sad sa chris, toby's, sportshouse ug ubang stores gabaligya mga sports accessories/equipments. pag-canvas sa basin naay nag-sale. it will consume your precious time but it pays off. also, try calling the mentioned stores and inquire sa ilang mga discounted prices.

Just a few tips:

I've gone to Chris in Ayala and their Prince rackets shown some labels as to what is their rackets appropriate for (beginners, ntermediate, etc. if I am not mistaken). Prices are 2K up. Tension limits of the rackets are also indicated.

If you got time share notes on deciphering codes in rackets. I think Yonex indicated these in their website.

I agree tension should be 22-26. My brother-in-law had bought a Yonex and set it to the max tension of 28lbs (gipa-gut niya sa Chris ug titanium pa gyud ug gut). 2 months after a crack appeared and he replaced it. I also bought a Yonex from the same shop (Gaisano Metro Ayala) and had it gutted to 26lbs BG-66 nga gut. Sulit pa gihapon.... only that my rallies sucks recently....ggggrrrrr.....

Some people say that my racket could be fake but it doesn't matter to me. But I'd like to buy a new one soon just in case.

By the way, any1 wanna comment on the y-frame of Prince? maau ba kini?

My RSL 4300 is still alive after more than 2 years. New RSL models (5900 and 6900 series) are available at either metro sports or in quickpoints. SOTX rackets are available sa poona club. These rackets are better alternative sa yonex.

for beginners the ideal tension is 18-22.
for average - 22-26
for advance - 24-30.

The last time I tried 26lbs, sakit kaayo ako bukton, unya mura ko ug walay power sa mga clears and smashes. I decided na 24lbs ra gyud ako string tension.

mine is 24. ideal for control and smashing. though my racquet's max tension is 26, i think 24 is enough for control. BTW, mine is Trump bought at sportshouse.
