Cuerda y tensión: qué cambia en tu raqueta

La tensión es con cuánta fuerza se estira la cuerda al encordar. Es el ajuste más barato de probar — y el que más cambia la sensación sin cambiar de raqueta.

Libras o kilos

Fabricantes y tiendas suelen hablar en libras (lbs); mucha gente piensa en kilos. La conversión es directa: una libra son unos 0,45 kg, así que 50 lbs quedan cerca de 23 kg. Las dos unidades aparecen en la tabla de abajo.

Subiendo la tensión

Una cuerda más tensa devuelve menos energía: la pelota tiende a salir más corta y más controlada, y el contacto se siente más seco y firme. Quien pega fuerte y ve la pelota irse larga suele buscar ese extremo del rango.

Bajando la tensión

Una cuerda más floja devuelve más energía: la pelota tiende a llegar más lejos con el mismo esfuerzo y el impacto se siente más suave. Quien siente la raqueta dura, o quiere profundidad sin forzar, suele buscar ese extremo.

Cómo elegir en la práctica

Empieza por el medio del rango del fabricante y muévete de 2 en 2 libras, en una sola dirección por vez. Un salto mayor cambia tantas cosas a la vez que cuesta saber qué mejoró. Anota la tensión de cada encordado: en dos o tres, encuentras la tuya.
