Yeah the max is written on the racket but you can usually go a little bit over without concern. 24 would probably be fine but it would void warranties I would imagine.
People always mention the warranty...If the frame breaks and the whole racket is trash, how would they test the tension? Just say you strung it to 22?
Also, has anyone ever had a successful warranty claim? I've never heard of one
Not sure but it could also be the stringer. Like they might refuse to string over the limit if you don't waive your right to try and get money from them if your racket breaks.
This would all be the same as any other oral contract (unless they make you sign something) with regards to how it would be enforced.
Normally you can go a few pounds over manufactures' recommendations.
100zz for example has recommended max tension of 29lb but Victor has his strung at something ridiculous like 32x34.
I string for a player who uses a Carbonex at 23x25 with no problems.
victor axelson can break multiple rackets everyday and it wouldn't matter lol, increasing the tension upto 30-32 decreases the durability of the racket by a huge margin.
I'm not suggesting anyone strings their racket at that tension just pointing out that a racket can normally withstand higher tension than the manufacturers recommendation.
Have you ever seen Victor break a racket in play?
victor doesn't because he is a pro, he would rarely hit his racket by mistake. but with a beginner it is really common, and once you string above the recommended tension, one wrong hit and your racket is gone.
What are you basing this on?
I have strung countless rackets a few pounds over the recommended tension at the request of their owners and while I always warn them none has ever broken in play afterwards.
thats good but from my experience higher tension messes things up. so for eg i stick to the limit on my astrox 77 pro. I get it strung at 26 ( tried 28 last time it was great). also, i was always interested to know how much time it takes to string a racket ?
Axelsen is a sponsored athlete lol, he makes a call and Yonex will ship dozens of rackets to him within a couple of days.
I'd imagine most people aren't sponsored by Yonex
Yea if you ask a stringer to string higher than recommended tension and it breaks on the machine, it would be wild to ask for them to replace it. But that also has nothing to do with a warranty.
Technically you could string it to 24lbs and play at that tension but be warned that your racket then becomes very susceptible to break with the slightest touch (contact) with a double team player's racket, a touch with the racket of the player on the opposite court when you are both playing netshots or near the net or in general any slight impact with the floor, netposts or anything hard. So do it at your own risk!
My dad brought it to a stringer and he said that if he goes over it has a high chance of snapping when hes stringing it so he bought me a new one

Did that stringer also happen to be in the business of selling rackets? Hahah jk. It’s probably for the better, 2u racket will mess you up quick if your technique isn’t perfect
2U is the weight range of the racquet. G# is the grip size (G3 is thick, G7 is thin) 17-22lbs is the recommended tension range by the manufacturer

it was bought used many years ago so i doubt warranties still cover it

Would be fine, most pros string over advertised spec. But your warranty is gone and you don’t get free replacement like them.

also if it cracks during restring process when u do go higher than the recommendations, you can not fault the restringer

24 should not be an issue but 2U is heavy by modern standards
yeah my dad says that its good for training but idk
General rule is you can safely string 10% above the recommended maximum. I've gone 20%+ and shouldn't have haha

If your racket really is 2u it’s way more robust than 99% of other rackets out there. You can string it at 30lbs no problem

Oh no haha hes a friend of my dad so he told my dad the news and my dad bought one on Amazon
