Review: Great for general use, especially if you have several tennis players in your family! - As soon as I got it I checked all my family's string including my kids junior rackets. The meter was close to what I expected and showed a large range on each racket that was consistent with ho they were strung. Then I went to the courts and started checking all my friends rackets (They were begging me to...). All of the rackets were pretty close to what they were supposed to be including the people that were having their rackets strung loose (About 40lbs), I did find one racket that was supposed to be strung at 50lbs but was tight at about 62. The guy was not shocked as he said the strings felt very tight and he did not trust the guy that strung his racket. I cannot say that I would trust the meter to give me perfect readings but if you take several readings on different strings you can get a good average and I am convinced it will be close. More importantly I can tell when it is time to restring and stop blaming some of my bad hits on old strings!! Review: A pretty interesting gadget. However, somewhat unclear of how accurate it is. - My racquet was supposedly strung at 40 pounds. The String Meter came out at 40 pounds for the long strings, but only 30 pounds for the cross strings. I took a few measurements from various tennis friends racquets. More often than not, the measurements were rather unsettling and seemed to have little correlation with the supposed racquet string tension they had ordered from the stringers. I think this gadget works really well in terms of measuring the string tension of your racquet over time. You can tell how much tension your strings are loosing over time. But, in terms of checking the accuracy of your friends racquets I am not too sure how well it works. What I get from this is that racquet stringing is a very imprecise art. Let's say you order string tension of 50 pounds with the exact same racquet and same strings from several different stringers. I have no doubt there will be marked differences between all of them. I suspect this difference could be associated with a very wide range. Between the lowest and highest you well could have a difference of 20 pounds (you order 50 and you get a low and high of 40 vs 60). The second issue is how do you measure this accurately. That's a tough one. I am not sure how precise the Stringmeter is. Another weird finding is that I observed that the cross strings often come out at far lower tension than the long string. This is counterintuitive. From a physics standpoint you would think the opposite be true. A shorter string is much less flexible, and returns greater resistance to any torquing than a longer string. However, in essence the cross strings and the long strings make for two completely separate string jobs. Is there something in the standard stringer technique that make it so (that cross strings are associated with lower tension)? ## Features - The String Meter lets you know when it’s time to restring by measuring tension loss. - Easy to use, just align the pins where strings intersect, twist until the unit is in line with main string, then note your reading - Take readings across multiple main strings. Repeat after a few hours or days of play to see your tension loss. - Great for players who want to monitor their string tension loss over time or to measure the consistency of their string jobs. - Measures string gauge - Measures in LB/KG ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002PZPCM4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #76,058 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #8,042 in Tennis Equipment | | Brand | Tourna | | Brand Name | Tourna | | Customer Reviews | 3.6 out of 5 stars 612 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00078914001208, 00799360803801 | | Included Components | 1 String Meter | | Item Dimensions | 7 x 4 x 1.75 inches | | Item Type Name | Tourna Stringmeter String Tension Tester | | Item Weight | 0.05 kg | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 7 x 4 x 1.75 inches | | Manufacturer | Tourna | | Material | Composite | | Material Type | Composite | | Model | METER-1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | TGSM | | UPC | 799360803801 078914001208 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Tourna - **Item Weight:** 0.05 kg - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 7 x 4 x 1.75 inches - **Material:** Composite - **UPC:** 799360803801 078914001208 ## Images ![Tourna String Meter String Tension Tester - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OP8WnTtiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for general use, especially if you have several tennis players in your family! *by D***N on December 2, 2013* As soon as I got it I checked all my family's string including my kids junior rackets.

I just strung my raquette on 55 and it reads 40. Even if I'm off by 5, it's still off by 10. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tourna String Meter String Tension Tester Black ,One Size - GAMMA Sports Tension Calibrator for Tennis Stringing Machine & Badminton Stringing Machine - Compatible with All Machines, Tests up to 90 Pounds of Tension - Gamma Sports Racquet String Tension Tester (Tennis/Squash/Racquetball) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://congo.desertcart.com/products/767613-tourna-string-meter-string-tension-tester](https://congo.desertcart.com/products/767613-tourna-string-meter-string-tension-tester) --- *Product available on Desertcart Congo* *Store origin: CD* *Last updated: 2026-11-11*
