Every string we use and even string we do not use goes through our Questron testing cycle.  We have discussed this before, and a video on this site shows the Questron in action.  We have updated the Questron significantly since the video was made…and it isn’t quiet.

We want to discuss “linearity” and how it can help when choosing a string setup.

We used these strings recently, and they were not chosen for any reason other than availability.

The first graph shows highly linear strings. The straighter the line from “0” to “fail,” the more linear and consistent the string is throughout its life.

So, what does linearity do for me?

• Maintains tension
  • Minimizes energy loss
• Maintains playability
• Maintains consistency
  • Maximizes control
• Maintains predictability
  • Provides confidence throughout your match

This property is essential to us. That is why we offer an alternative to non-linear strings.

If you would like this information for your favorite string, please let us know, and we will try to provide it for you nd all other readers!
