That has to be some sort of record for low tension. In the day I had my Dunlop Max 200G strung to 40 lbs to emulate McEnroe and I couldn't hit from the baseline without going long on any shots where you tried to generate pace. I can see why it worked for him with his net play but it leads to a trampoline feeling when swinging through the ball. I don't think any racquet manufacturers these days recommend tensions under 50 lbs.
