actually i'm also a bit confused... i thot lower tension e.g. 30lbs.. 35lbs.. shud let u hit easier and with more power ? and higher wud b lesser power more control right ? but like you i feel that lower tension takes more effort and bola hard to jalan .. i just strung my youtek @ 30lbs... wah feels like using so much effort to make the ball go fast into the other court esp for winners.. can somebody pls enlighten me...hehe
I'm thinking that if you hit flat shots with this kinda tension it should be easier.
But if you hit with spin the ball will land shorter than it use to.
That's why you feel you need the extra effort to make the ball go faster n further into the other side of the court.
Stepping into to the will help.
But if we consider using the same mechanics, still the lower tension will end up shorter if you are used to hitting with lots of topspin.
So maybe different tension suits different hitting styles & player preference to feel.
