higher tension will give you more control
lower tension gives more power because of the trampoline effect
the situation is like you jumping on a spring bed and jumping from floor
definitely jumping on spring bed can make you jump higher
that's the very basic idea
of course there're more theories for this issue
if i'm were you, i wont get such an expensive racket first
make sure you know your playing style well and know the type of racket that suits you the most first
answering your question, N50/N55 is medium flex and N90 is stiff

Higher tension will give u more power to smash in theory is correct, the most important thing is whether you are able to handle the tension, usually when i tight 28lbs and above, all back hand almost become shit, so if i run not fast enough, obviously habis!! i guess you should find the tension you can handle, definitely high tension will be good and most of the international player is very very high tension, but make sure ur wrist can support.
Yeah. Agree. Theoricalll, high tension mean more power. But must be able to handle and correct wrist-usage when do return.
Like those State, International & National player, they can produce a very powerful shot with higher tension (e.g Lin Dan, Lee Chong Wei, etc etc) is because they using their wrist power more + shoulder, waist power & timing so well. To do this, they undergo high-intensive-hell training.
Not only to master it but to perfect it.
For social player like us, using a lower tension (average tension 24 or 25), it sufficient enough. The most important is, we are comfortable and able to do a descent / good return. There is even a guy who can do a powerful jumping smash with tension 18 only
