What string and gauge did you use? Nice! Wanna try.

Why stop at 19? String the racquet by hand (no machine or weights) and save money! 😂

I cannot go lower than 50 lbs (22-23 kg), because generating spin is so much harder with such a low tension which makes it even less controllable for me. I currently play with a six-sided topspin/control string on a Prestige Pro, which is already a low power racket, with a string tension of 24 kg for the long strings and 23 kg for the short strings. I do have a long backswing on my forehand and also on my one-handed backhand, so generating racket head speed has never been an issue for me. The length of Mannarino's backswing is basically a quarter of mine. Both has advantages and disadvantages. In the end string tension is really a matter of personal taste. I had big problems with controlling the power, which is why I use such a low power setup for more than 10 years now. On my old Wilson Blade I actually played with 60 lbs, which was definitely too much. For me 50-53 feels perfect. The strings are also a big factor. I tested very hard and unflexible poly strings that felt like I was hitting rocks. My currently string is quite soft and flexible for a poly string. It loses its tension easier, but during the clay season I usually break the strings fast enough that it's not a problem. Mannarino probably uses poly string, right? (Synthetic) gut is a completely different story. Those need to be strung with much higher tension.

Try 48 mains 45 cross

I like this sort of video ok. Regarding string tension, I'm going to go to 40 lbs from about 55 lbs and see if I can play with that. If 40 works, then to 30 and so on. I'm 77, so anything that might reduce the stress associated with playing tennis is worth trying, I think. Good video. Thumbs up.

Lol

I would recommend to try and adjust your swing a bit to spin the ball more. This way you can see if you get to make your ball heavier while not losing speed

Go below 50 lbs. Somewhere between 40 and 50 depending on the size of the head. The strings will last longer, there won't be as much tension loss, you'll have more power while still maintaining control and it's easier on the arm.

Terima kasih video

I believe John McEnroe didn’t have a lot of tension back in the days…

Honestly with how aggressive of a player you are I am slightly surprised that you don’t play with a slightly lower tension I think it could honestly be really beneficial

I'd NEVER be able to control the ball at that tension. I prefer 32kg. You can then pound the hell out of the ball and it won't land in the next city.

try volleying with it I play mid upper 30s only drawback is volleys

Mannarino racket is stiffer than your dunlop. So i think you should go down to 44/45….

Because he's a pusher. Not that hard to figure out.

which strings ?

Félix vs takuya komura

he would be a lot better if he had more depth.

I played tennis for about 35 years before giving it up in around 2016. The last 5 or 6 years that I played, I ALWAYS strung at 10 lbs.

Saw Jamie practicing at West End Tennis Club in Surrey earlier this year. Absolutely smacking the ball 💪

Most moder control polyester strings play well between 48 and 50lb (22/23kg). Above, there is negligible control advantage, considerable more stress for the arm, much shorter string life. Technical string database can provide data for each string and gauge.

lower it further to 15 lbs

I think you should try to play with 42-44 pounds and see how it feels. Maybe you get the best from both worlds

2HBH are so inferior. Silly looking. Same as the women’s BH. Limited reach. Never get off the baseline.

What strings did you use? Also, do you think a more control oriented frame would help add control?

If a low tension keeps you healthy, then it's a nobrainer. No one gets better sitting out w/ a tender wrist or elbow. If you have no pains are higher tensions, then why change it. looks like you haev 1k likes, so let's see the proper match next :)

sick! i went from 50 to 36, not going back

Adrian Mannarino is one of my favourite tennis 🎾 players on atp tour.. 👍🏻😃 😎 Joy to watch Mannarino play.. Tough opponent and a consistent baseline grinder.. 🎾 I learned to improve my tennis 🎾 game from Mannarino.. (short strokes, run after every ball and be consistent as possible 👍🏻...)

Love watching Jamie's playing❤❤

I saw you recording this video at the Academy. Was waiting on it to drop! Great vid, keep up the good work

Song name at 3:50? I can’t find it and I’ve been searching for ten minutes 😭

How was serve depth? Were your serves going unintentionally long?

dont move the camera

Exelente

You look like a musketeer with that beard, looks good!

lol that background music from h3h3 vape nation XDDDDDDDDDD 1:01 HEY WHAT UP PEEPS IT'S YA BOI ETHAN FROM H3 H3

Effortless vid thanks 😎

When i first learned about Mannarino low tension, a few years ago, I switched to 24lbs in my babolat pure strike and loved it. Used full polyester. Over time, I developed tennis elbow. So I switched to a flexible racket, prince phantom with synthetic gut strings to soften the impact. Unfortunately, with the extreme low tension, those strings move around too much. So had to go back to mid forty tensions. But yeah, I miss that low tension

More of these technical videos about equipment configurations! Let's say heavy racquets vs lighter racquets, racquet balance, string types etc. etc.

Main takeaway is that worries about loss of tension are totally overblown. If you drop from 44 to 36, there's nothing to worry about (especially since most of the drop happens early, so the tension you like and are used to is actually lower than 44)

You should challenge Adrian Mannarino :)

If Mannarino plays with such tension, it's because he got a wrist injury when younger, which he never fully recovered from. That caused a lack of strength and so he had to adapt and found that solution. It might be useful to learn how to play with such tension if you're slightly injured or if you lack energy on one day or another.

Quite a few pros are going lower with their tension (according to a Tennisnerd video from a couple of years ago, the top 500 ATP average about 44lbs). Maybe it's partly due to the unresponsive balls that are being used these days, or to the fact that strings have improved and so you can still get control at lower tension. It could be worth experimenting with trying out not just 50lbs, but 45lbs, or even lower, too. If the effect on control is not that great, then why not take the extra power and make it easier on the body?

Do a fun match with your weaker hand. I'd prefer if you do it against a normal lefty

Not surprised he has this tension, he has an incredibly short backswing on his shots

Mannarino has very little rotation on his shotmaking which when you have a racquet at 19lbs means presumably less errors. Seems to work ok for him.

My coach just got this it’s really cool

bro this is so sicccccc
