You can use this, not that!
Racquet Quest is constructing a “dynamic stiffness test” device to perform dynamic testing of tennis racquet string beds.
Why? So we can determine the string bed stiffness that will suit and even enhance performance on the court.
String bed stiffness is a significant number, and we take it in four (4) ways, but they are “static” methods. Static in the sense that the load is applied rather slowly. String bed stiffness is significant because players may not hit the ball slowly!
Our Questron pulls loads all the way to failure on all sorts of strings, but it is one (1) string, not a bunch like a strung racquet; therefore, our dynamic device will hit the string bed with a variable force, associated with a “harder” ball strike!
It is essential to understand when a string bed may be too harsh or too compliant for a player by learning the dynamic stiffness of various tennis racquets, string patterns, and strings.
So, use this, not that!
We take this data now, and it makes much sense; however, our new device will be more precise.
Stay tuned!
