If you have a string of length 2L and with a tension T and apply a force F at the middle, it will be deflected a distance d. A simple linear analysis for small ...

• Advice for this type of break

  
  Talk Tennis — Authority: 149
  My friend seems to always break the strings at the exact same location each time (shown in picture). The strings can last anywhere from 1-10 hitting sessions before the break at that exact spot inevitably occurs. The break will typically occur during the serve, but it can sometimes come from the forehand too. I ...

• de-stringing a recquet

  
  Talk Tennis — Authority: 149
  Is there a proper way to move strings from a racquet? Should I first cut the string closest to the knots and work my way to the centre of the racquet? I am asking this because I am wondering if I will cause stress on the frame by cutting away strings in the middle of the racquet first.
