Red Devil 1,24 -> Low DT?

[Field]

Hi all,

I just strung one of my rackets (Völkl Tour 10 MP Gen I) with Red Devil 1,24 at my usual tension (25/25) and got only a DT-value of 36 right after stringing, which is rather low compared to other strings, even to SPP Pure 1,23. While stringing I noticed the Red Devil is very soft and elastic. Is this rather low DT-value normal for the Red Devil 1,24? Any thoughts?

i strung my T-Feel 305 with the Red Devil 1.25 in 26/25 and some other tensions i a always got an lower DT-value.
But many here in the forum give the advice to lower the tension 2 or 3kg, because the RD has much power.

sry 4 the english, but i just woke up

Strung this morning a Pro Supex Nano Energy with PP Intense Heat 1,25 at 25/25 for a friend of mine. Got the same result (DT 39) right after stringing as last week. So it isn't an issue with the machine, that's clear. The low DT-value must be related to the Red Devil 1,24... anyone has similar experiences?

The Red Devil is very soft, indeed. Sometimes it stretches during stringing 'til it breaks. No error on your side there.

Ok, panthers, Du hast recht. Bitte lösche meinen Beitrag raus. War nur eine Emotionsaufwallung, für die ich mich entschuldigen möchte.

Nein, das ist zu einfach. Ich rate dir zuerst zu überlegen, dann zu schreiben. Ist ja auch nicht der erste respektlose Thread von dir... Ach ja, falls du jetzt auf meinen Post antworten solltest, erwarte keine Stellungnahme meiner Seits...

That's true. I've got the thinner version. It's a horrible stringjob to do, because it's very soft and elastic and often breaks during stringing.

Okido, thanks for all the answers

Will have a hit in the afternoon with the Red Devil and will report back.

DT dropped from 36 (right after stringing) to 34 (24 hrs later) to 33 after 2 hrs of hitting. Full review will be posted in the database.

Basically, this string is kinda chewing gum...we got this result during some string tests at visit of Isospeed, Austria.

Just check the related thread...

It's indeed very soft and rather difficult to decribe the way it's playing. But chewing gum ...

Went through the complete thread and couldn't find anything What exactly do you mean?

I should have the print out of Devil 1.19 elongation test at Isospeed labs....will check as soon as I can and let you know. ´
Nevertheless, this string was hyperstretchable, not comparable to other Polyester strings.

Any news on this?

Strung Saturday one of my rackets with the 1,29 version and the DT value post stringing was 37, 24 hrs later it was 35.
