The setup logic
Medvedev's setup is built for control, feel and a deep, heavy ball from the back of the court. A heavy frame plus a low-tension hybrid gives a soft, predictable pocket without losing control — comfort and precision together.
The real lesson for players
Low tension isn't just “more power” — with the right string it's pocketing and comfort. A hybrid (soft main + controlled poly cross) at a sensible low tension is an arm-friendly way to keep control.
