Practical tennis knowledge, checked against evidence

String Tension AI combines hands-on racquet and string experience with transparent sourcing. Our goal is to help players make better setup decisions without presenting personal preferences as universal facts.

Editorial responsibility is visible

String Tension AI Team

The team compiles product guides, calculators, professional equipment records, and measurement education for the String Tension AI website. We separate published facts from practical starting points, link sources, show uncertainty, and date material that can change.

How a guide earns publication

1. Start with primary evidence

We prefer peer-reviewed studies, ITF technical publications, laboratory testing, and first-party manufacturer specifications. Secondary equipment reports are used when they are the most direct source for a player setup.

2. Label the kind of claim

Measured findings, manufacturer ranges, reported professional setups, and practical checkpoints are not interchangeable. Copy explains which kind of evidence supports the decision.

3. Preserve uncertainty

Tension response varies with string, gauge, frame, pattern, weather, playing style, and measurement method. We avoid universal prescriptions and do not infer missing data.

4. Make the method repeatable

Guides favor personal baselines, consistent measurement conditions, logged playing hours, and one-variable-at-a-time comparisons.

5. Date changing information

Dataset records show verification dates. Editorial pages show review dates, and material updates change the structured-data modification date.

6. Correct the record

If a source changes or a factual issue is found, we update the page and its review date. Readers can send evidence or corrections to support@stringtensionai.com.

Human-readable pages and machine-readable contracts

The Pro String Setups page links directly to the underlying JSON distribution. Public racquet, string, equipment-editorial, and tension-guidance files keep distinct schemas and are listed in llms.txt. Missing fields remain missing rather than being guessed.
