Racquet support
|

The mounting table has been designed to support the racquet minimizing the risk of breaking or damaging the racquet. The “tube” of the much lighter racquets of today has a very thin wall which truly tests the racquet support system making the quality of the mounting table much more important than ever before.

The tension in the main strings tries to make the string area of the racquet shorter, and when it gets shorter, it will also get wider. Modern stringing machines apply one of two different racquet support principles:
1. DIRECT SUPPORT
2. INDIRECT SUPPORT
3. “RACQUET FRIENDLY” WITH WIDE SUPPORTS The force between the supports and the racquet is very high. Wide supports result in a lower pressure between the support and the racquet and a less chance for damage to the racquet. 4. THROAT-SIDE: THE BRIDGE IS VULNERABLE
