  • Mainly doubles.
    It can be strung up to 32 lbs max. I've strung it with GOSEN G-TONE at 30 lbs.
    The shop told me YONEX strings max out at 28 lbs, so it's better to go with GOSEN strings to match.
    I'd never strung my previous rackets above 26 lbs, but starting with the INFERNO I went with 30 lbs. Even at high tension, no unpleasant vibration comes through to my arm, which is great.
    Because it's strung at high tension, the shuttle won't carry unless you hit the sweet spot, but once you practice and can hit normally, your skills naturally improve. (My shots became more consistent)
    Also, thanks to the high tension and the racket's performance, the shuttle flies fast even if you just meet it or simply flick it without swinging, so you can play fast rallies compactly.
    It's head-heavy, so my arm gets tired when fast rallies drag on. For smashes and clears, the swing feels so good that you don't notice the head-heavy balance at all.
