Tous les cordages – tressés ou toronnés – qui sont soumis à une forte tension au cours du processus de fabrication sont dits commis serrés. Ils sont durables, mais quelque peu raides (du moins quand ils sont neufs). Une tension moins forte en cours de fabrication donne une corde plus flexible : on dit alors qu'elle est commise lâche.

PHR

corde commise lâche
