Hi Guys

I recently purchased the PD Team + racquet, and the recommended tension printed within the throat of the racquet says its range is 50 lbs - 55 lbs, but on the tennis warehouse website, it states its 50 lbs - 66 lbs. I'm confused now. I would really like to string my racquet at 60 lbs with 10% higher before tie offs, but I don't want to break my frame.

I am from Australia, so I'm just wondering if Babolat racquets are different in the asia-pacific region compared to the US market?

Also, another question. I strung my racquet at 55lbs using babolat super fine. Has anyone experienced a lack of control using the tension and strings above. I find when I swing hard and fast with some topspin, it seems to float long over the base line. My previous racquet was a Head I prestige and that racquet seems to have a bit more control. This is actually the reason why I would like to string my racquet at 60 lbs this time using babaolat polymono. Do you guys think this will give me more control as opposed to stringing at 55lbs with super fine?

Thanks Rob

Rob,
the 50-55 is just the range they recommend for the optimum range for the Woofer System. Besides that, you can string up to 65/66lbs lbs. I strung a buddies PC+ recently at 68lbs with Super Fine play. He likes it.
