The top cable tension is provided through adjustment of the 3 adjustable guy ropes per pole standard.
Tie strings provide the lower net tension.
The Standard set provides the ruggedness required to survive weekend parties, a day at the beach, or rental use, without hurting the checkbook. Simply position the cable eyelets through the open eyebolts and tighten the guy ropes and you are ready to play. The 2 mm twisted polyethylene net with top band will provide good net dig for starter or weekend players. The Standard set offers the opportunity to economically upgrade the set later if so desired. Competitors don't offer this capability.
