I don't think any racquet manufacturers these days recommend tensions under 50 lbs.

With the modern game’s super grippy poly strings and extreme western grips, it’s probably a lot easier to spin the ball in than the old days of continental/eastern grips and heavy frying pans.
But yeah 24lbs is ridiculous if true. Maybe it’s easier on the joints and less breaking strings mid-point.
