What are 18 basic facts about strings?
1. Lower string tensions generate more power (providing string movement does not occur). 2. Higher string tensions generate more ball control (for experienced players). 3. A longer string length (or string plane area) produces more power. 4. Decreased string density (fewer strings) generates more power. 5. Thinner string generates more power. 6. More elastic strings generate more power (generally, what will produce more power will also absorb more shock load at impact). 7. Softer strings, or strings with a softer coating, tend to vibrate less. 8. Thinner strings tend to produce more spin by biting the ball more. 9. Decreased string density (fewer strings) generates more spin. 10. Multifilament strings are more elastic than solid core strings. 11. Longer strings on a string bed move more hence break easier (see larger frames from above). 12. Solid core strings are more durable than multifilament strings with kevlar string technology being the most durable. 13. Kevlar strings are the sti
