as in a specific place
p.s live in market Rasen (near lincoln)
i need to compare advertised weights of various racquets among which i intend to choose one (the lightest, best brand and best price); however frame weights are either unstrung or strung; so i need to know how much stringing adds to the frame weight of 3Us or 4Us
I have a few £40-£60 racquets (Wilsons and one Chinese one….)…..the Wilsons lasted for about 2 years before the string tension started to decrease, resulting in less powerful shots; and the Chinese one seemed to last a year.
Am I right about the racquets becoming less powerful as they age?
Is it worth re-stringing or is it not worth it?
