Q. I just strung my racquet at 60 lbs. The Stringmeter is reading only 40 pounds. Does the Stringmeter work or am I doing something wrong?

A. Your Stringmeter does work and you aren't doing anything wrong. This is the most common question about the Stringmeter and the most misunderstood concept about the device: The Stringmeter's numbers are only relevant to itself. While it can be used during stringing, you cannot use the Stringmeter to VERIFY a stringing job. That is not its purpose. The Stringmeter is used to MONITOR tension.

Keep testing your racquet weekly. When the Stringmeter shows 35 instead of 40, you KNOW you have lost 5 pounds of tension. This is the purpose of the Stringmeter, not comparing it between machines.

Q. Do you need to re-calibrate the Stringmeter after you have purchased it?

A. No, the spring inside the Stringmeter is already calibrated and should last for the lifetime of the owner. If the spring does ever fail, send in your Stringmeter and you will receive a new one free of charge.
