The Consumer and SBS
Sting Bed Stiffness (SBS) could be considered alongside performance cars. In the simplest of terms, a high-performance car requires some understanding of what it is going to do; otherwise, you will end up in the trees or worse!
The same with String Bed Stiffness (SBS). If you don’t know what it is going to do, you may end up in the fence!
Why String Bed Stiffness (SBS) matters.
String bed stiffness is a critical performance metric and therefore deserves more attention than it gets in the discussion(s) of string characteristics.
In this video, which is a little “jumpy” at first, you will see the data we collect for every racquet we do. For this discussion, we concentrate on these data:
- Reference Tension
- RDC string bed stiffness
- Flex Four-string bed stiffness
- Racquet Quest SBS (String Sense) stiffness
- Effective stiffness
- Master Tensometer string bed stiffness (kg/cm^)
Play Comfortably
Normally, when we think “comfort” we think string. However, in this case, we are talking about the tennis racquet!
Recently, some brands have introduced the “fun/comfort” genre.
The Yonex Muse series is one of the few Yonex models made in China rather than Japan.
Use Your String
We want you to play your best, and using your string is a component of your performance.
If you have any questions about your string and the best stringing technique, please let us know. We can provide information that may help the tournament stringing team meet your expectations.
