  2. Stringing machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stringing_machine

    Badminton strings are usually made up of microfilament, but historically used to be strung with gut. Racquet tension can vary from 18-36 lbs. Professional players tend to opt for the upper limit of the racquet tension range.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badminton

    Badminton strings for racquets are thin, high-performing strings with thicknesses ranging from about 0.62 to 0.73 mm. Thicker strings are more durable, but many players prefer the feel of thinner strings. String tension is normally in the range of 80 to 160 N (18 to 36 lbf). Recreational players generally string at lower tensions than ...

  4. Strings (tennis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strings_(tennis)

    Due to the tension present on the strings, elasticity and tension begins to decrease the moment they are installed in a racquet. "Dead strings", or strings which have lost their tension, cut down on the performance of a racquet. Dead strings may also hamper a tennis player's ability to generate power and pace, and may even make their arm sore.

    Squash racket and ball Racquetball racket and ball. A racket or racquet [1] is an item of sporting equipment used to strike a ball or shuttlecock in a variety of sports. A racket consists of three major components: a widened distal end known as the head, an elongated handle known as the grip, and a reinforced connection between the head and handle known as the throat or heart.

  7. Tension (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tension_(physics)

    String-like objects in relativistic theories, such as the strings used in some models of interactions between quarks, or those used in the modern string theory, also possess tension. These strings are analyzed in terms of their world sheet, and the energy is then typically proportional to the length of the string. As a result, the tension in ...

    This model retained the thin 17 mm beam throughout its length but has increased weight from 12.6 to 12.8 oz (360 to 360 g) strung, is slightly less head-light (six points rather than eight), with an 88-square-inch (570 cm 2) head size, up from 85 in the Pro Staff Original (the Pro Staff 6.0 was produced in a number of sizes) and with 19 rather ...
