String tension and effects on spin

Hi all!

I have a question on string tension that I've never been able to clarify:

For more spin on the ball, should I string with higher or lower tension? I know that lower tension will give more speed and less control, higher tension will give less speed but more control. Where does spin fit in this "system"?

Cheers,

Magnus :-)

Very interesting ideas here. I wonder if part of the mechanism of textured string technology is that they have more freedom of movement. Not merely the shape of the string roughing up the felt...
