Tension calculator
The calculator takes this frame's verified specs plus your playing style and returns a tension in kilograms and pounds, with the reasoning behind the number.
The heaviest frame in this batch at 310 g, paired with an open 16×18 pattern — two specs that point at a deliberate, plough-through frame for players who supply their own racquet-head speed.
What the sources agree on
At 310 g unstrung this frame carries more mass than any other racquet reviewed here, and more static weight is the most direct, least-disputed lever for stability on off-centre contact — the 8.7 derived stability score, the highest of the ten, follows straight from that. The 16×18 pattern (fewer main strings than the more common 16×19) opens the string bed further still, typically reading as even more spin potential and a plusher feel than a 16×19 at the same tension, at some cost to string durability.
Where they disagree
Extra static weight only pays off for players who can generate their own racquet-head speed — the same mass that stabilises contact also has to be swung, and a slower swing won't feel the stability benefit as much as the spec sheet alone implies. RA and swingweight aren't published for this listing either, so the actual feel of that heavier build is still an open question rather than a settled one.
