Natural Gut Gurus

racingdad23 · Feb 28, 2008

Im usually stringing the latest wonder Poly for my kid and the way he goes through strings I wouldn't couldn't afford to consider anything else for him. But 'ole Dad here needs a little TLC in these old arms

Been listening alot to you gut guys talk about how good nat gut is but as with most people the cost is also a factor to me. I've been doing some research on cheaper alternative guts and I know its pretty much like everything else... you get what you pay for.

But I found an obscure natural gut that I'd like to get a opinion on if anyone knows anything about this brand. I did a google search and even found a couple of threads where it was mentioned on the "old board". The brand is Global Gut and this is the company's webpage http://globalgut.com/gut-strings.html Anyone had any experience with this brand? And what are your thoughts on it? Thanks

Steve Huff · Feb 28, 2008

They sent me a set once, a couple of years ago. It broke on about the 3rd hit. Needless to say, I didn't add it to my inventory.

ledor · Feb 29, 2008

Wilson and Babolat are the only ones you should try. Klip is also good.

That's not correct, infact i had better experiences with Bow and some Pacific gut.

jayserinos99 · Feb 29, 2008

racingdad, it depends on what you are looking for in the natural gut. I don't think you can go wrong with any except for those obscure brands and Titan (which are Klip's seconds). Babolat VS is the gold standard and it has the most pop off the stringbed and is very soft. Pacific Toughgut is also very soft but doesn't have that pop off the stringbed like VS; I haven't tried Prime but have heard good things about it. Klip Legend is a little stiffer and is slightly more control oriented but I found it to be good in flexy frames. It's been a while since I hit with BDE but I remember it to be soft and had decent pop. Of course, all of the natural guts I mentioned were all arm-friendly as well.

andreh · Feb 29, 2008

VS is my recommendation.

I actually like Bow better. Serious power in the 17g string, but it's not very durable.

origmarm · Feb 29, 2008

I haven't heard of this one but I've tried 3 cheaper guts in the past and all have been useless. Might not be the case here but as a general rule I steer clear of cheaper gut as I've had bad experiences. The one I remember was Titan which I thought was rubbish

I use Klip Legend at the moment, its the best price/durability compromise. VS is the best, Wilson is ok, Pacific is ok. Didn't really like Bow. I think all of these are fine though and it comes down to preference and price point.

Pacific gut is also very good, but Babolat VS gut is the best.

That Global Gut sounds fishy just by looking at their site.
Is that the same as Grand Slam Gut?

I recommend Babolat Tonic.
I tested both VS and Tonic at the same time ad coujld feel the difference.
I regularly use Wilson gut as well (because I have a good source and get it at the same price as Tonic), and again, no differences.
Tonic is awesome and price is very affordable.
If you put it in the hybrid you will get the most value for the money.

IanRichardson · Feb 29, 2008

do you usually break a lot of strings? If you don't you might find that gut isnt that expensive. Some people have gut jobs last up to a month without breaking provided you dont hit a lot of crazy spin all the time. If you a string breaker I would look away from natural gut and find a synthetic gut.

Hey Stan,

I am with Steve Huff on this one. All of cheaper alternative guts I have used (more like tried to use) have been less than worthwhile. Some broke on the stringer, some broke after 5 minutes of hitting and some broke in my bag before I even got to the courts. No way around it, there are not that many good deals in nat gut. Most folks have a fav brand and stick with it. Bow Brand used to offer a great deal on their basic gut and it was very good for the price. Pacific and Klip have nice products as of course Bab. I really do not have arm problems at this point and use a soft co-poly/soft sys gut hybrid with good results.

Steve "Freezing my butt off in WNY" I...

I am not a mind reader, like some here.

The thread that got nuked, certain posters insisted on ALL natural gut. Hey after all natural gut is natural gut.

when one generalizes and lumps all natural gut together and makes a bold statement in reference to Multi, they are painting with a broad brush and making ignorant and false statements. After i repeated that not all Natural gut are alike. I guess people do not want to admit when they paint with a broad brush and I more surprised at the people that are defending them.

dude, poor, por example. it has like 3 replies. There are lots of better examples to use. As I said, when people talk about gut, they usually mean the ones TW and other typical retailers sell. Most have never tried Pakistany (or some other 3rd world country) gut. When people say any or most gut, they mean the ones we all know/heard about. 9/10 people on here have never even tried those oddball guts made from oddball companies, so again, your arguement holds little water.

Do they still rate Pakistan as a 3rd world country? Seems odd. They are fairly advanced. They may be a little lax on their freedom of speech, but... I dunno. Maybe I don't know what it means.

Just the comment I was looking for in this thread. A "reliable" poster that has used VS and Tonic side by side.

Same old questions/debate/flame war. Is this better than that? No, this is better than that because it's natural gut, the king of all strings...
Klip is better than VS, NO! Pacific iz da king! blah blah blah...

Just letting you guys know, I play with natural gut, multi, and plastic. NO poly because my racquet does not like it and I don't like it either.

Natural Guts are good but it's not like you are going to move from a 4.0 to a 6.0 with natural gut on your racquets as compared to when you were playing with Multi. "Oh wait...I'm going to buy myself some VS Gut to replace crappy Klip! Watch! I'll win the next tournament!" yeh right!

Lots of people just make blanketed statements.

Dudes, just get a set or two and do some testing for yourself. In the end, I bet you will be like..."I can't tell the freaking difference"! And "jeez, why am i spending so much money on all of these strings and racquets, yet my game has not improved?" Just stick with whatever you like. Everyone is different.

The secret to better tennis? Just play more and get in better shape. And most important of all, improve the mental aspect of your game. Equipment contributes very little to your game! Well, unless testing strings and racquets is your hobby, and not playing tennis.

Tennis Warehouse is very smart for having an Equipment Forum

I disagree. I switched and went from a 3.0 to a 6.0 in 2 weeks.

But, I was also drinking a 4 protein shakes everyday and taking creatine by the bottle full. I would only eat live cattle grazing on grass that is a cross of Bluegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sensemilia. Vegetables and fruits had to still be on the plant (throw these away if they have been picked or touched with human hands) and be certified, right on the leaves, to have no chemicals or nothing on them. An additional added benefit, is that my sh*t actually now smells like roses.

In addition, I only use racquets that have been blessed by Federer (I send them to a special address and get them back, certified as such). My shoes come from superman, my socks are made of gold, my clothes are made by NASA. And, I get a $1,000 haircut each week.

Anyone who is serious about tennis should do what I did.......start with the natural gut though!!

yes and no, I guess. Seems their economy has gotten stronger with some trade contracts with other countries over the past few years. Almost 30% of the population lives in poverty and yes, their FOS is horrid. I was probably thinking more along the lines of industry when I mentioned Pakistan as a 3rd world country. Some research suggests its still a 3rd world country. Most of the Middle East and Africa is considered 3rd world, so it should not be a big surprise, heck, lots of European countries are considered 2nd world.

from what I Googled, some have it as a 3rd world country and some have it emerging. So I was not that far off.

almost forgot, here is the definition of 3rd world. I just thought it was underdeveloped, lacked technology and had a high poverty rate..sort of close:

by the way, I may have used a politically incorrect word..its not 3rd world country, but DEVELOPING country.

If you don't want to break too many strings, but want to feel many of the benefits of natural gut then you could try a hybrid. I have a K6.1 95 and have been using Luxilon Alupower 16 in my mains (at 52) and Babolat VS 17 at 56 in my crosses. Yes - I know the norm is to string the mains higher than the crosses, but I LOVE this string job. With this I get about 30 hours or more out of each frame (before the mains break - never the crosses) vs less than 2 with a basic string like topspin. The really weird thing is that if I use NXT in the identical setup the NXT breaks after less than 10 hours.....

Anyway. I think that this hybrid gives the power and control of the poly with the softness and feel of the gut (obviously it's not as soft as a pure gut job, but I don't get any tennis elbow problems).

Anyway - just a suggestion.

Misconception highlighted in red. The poly is always strung lower in tension than the multi or gut as the stiffness of the poly would prevent the gut from stretching properly on impact and result in a dead feeling string job.

NO, we were talking about NG like Global gut ( sheep/lamb NG from INDIA) and its likes, grandslamgut (sheep/lamb NG) is yet another cheap NG that does not make it to the courts it snaps while you are stringing it and in your bag. Oh and yes did I mention it is from NORWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you generalizing again and saying all crappy NG comes from 3rd world countries is very telling

Gee I wounder why TW never carried it Hmmmmmm?!?!?!

Hi. My name is Mark Dzulynsky. We are the manufacturer and US distributor of Grand Slam Gut.

First of all, I would like to apologize to all of you for the bad batch of GSG that was sent to TW in June of 2005. TW was great in that they gave us a chance to work with them – they tested GSG to the hilt for many weeks and the results were superb, but when we sent our next shipment to them, our GSG was crap. Since then, we have upped our quality control 500% at the factory to its highest possible degree. Each set is tested before it departs the factory. No, we are still not perfect, but we are trying harder and harder every day. At $14 plus shipping, you have a chance to try some of the best gut in the industry and yes, GSG is better than most guts in feel, in texture and in durability. You have nothing to lose by trying GSG since we support every set that you purchase.

I sincerely hope that TW satisfactorily compensated those that purchased GSG. If not, please e-mail or call me and let’s work everything out. We stand behind ever set of GSG 110%.

If you want to talk about GSG, I am at (715) 366-4333. If you want to e-mail me I am tennis@wctc.net. Otherwise, many players and shops are using and carrying GSG and enjoying it. Please see their comments on e-bay. Just type in “Grand Slam Gut” in e-bay’s search engine and read all the testimonials from youth to semi-pro. Last but not least, try it. If you don’t like it, I will give you your money back. Again, please accept my humblest apologies for the crappy GSG that we sent to TW.

Mark Dzulynsky, GSG

oh and did I say they are from....................... Australia:shock:

Not to worry the Italians did contribute to the tennis stringing world, you know the illegal spaghetti stringing wrapped around NG, why does everything illegal is associated with Italy, I am not generalizing am I?

the cheapest for me was Bow 18g when it was $20, it was OK, crisp but broke easily, I prefer NGR18g. now that BOW 18g is $30 no banana , when Klip Legend makes a really thin 18g that is under 1.20mm under $20 then we are talking until then..........

I can only compare Tonic and BDE rally. Both played great. Seem to fray the same. Just one is cheaper is all.

Lambsscroll · Mar 9, 2008

I will tell you that one of my rackets has a full BDE rally 15L string job. To my amazement the tension holds rather well even after weeks of hard hitting. It hasn't snapped even after me moving the strings back in place over and over again. The fraying is hardly noticeable also. I still think its the best string for the money at TW.

Pacific Gut is great, as long as you don't play in colder climates. You will be asking for trouble if you play in temps lower than 55F. It will explode in your racket. I've got two rackets sitting at home to prove it. VS will last better. But no gut job is going to last over two months if you play 3 times a week.

racingdad23 · Apr 8, 2008

Well Glocal Gut sent me a couple of samples (2 packs) of their 16g natural gut. I opened the first pack and as I uncoiled it gently I noticed a partially unraveled section (3/8ths wide) in the middle of the string. Since I was just putting it in the crosses I knew I would have at least one set to try. Sucks that its right in the middle of the second half.

I've strung well over 100+ racquets but this is my first gut job so I read the "Dont bust a gut" article on the RSI website and I think it helped alot but it had me worried that it was sooo fragile so I took my time and did my pulls very gently (took 45 minutes for the crosses). I got to the very last cross and freaking kinked it. Got it unkinked with no visible damage and tied it off. A couple of things....this was labeled 16g but it was very fat and I thought it was/seemed larger than 15g syn gut and the unraveled section kinda concerned me but what the hell...the strings were free. With the couple of people that had actually tried this brand giving it bad marks I fully expected it to break midway through stringing

Overall I'm not impressed with the appearance of it but I really have nothing to compare to. I have another set of it and a set of BDE but didnt want to take the BDE out of the package just to compare the two.

Its strung up in my M-fil 300 with Big Ace 18g mains @57 and the Gut @59. It stormed this morning and the courts are wet so didnt get to try it today. But looking forward to maybe tonight or tomorrow evening. All I know is this stuff needs to play really good because I'm not sure if all the hassle, expense and extra care it took to string it is really worth it.

This description sounds a lot like Grand Slam Gut. The string was much thicker then it reported gauge and was extremely prone to kinking and premature breaking. Was there a return address on the package? Where were the strings shipped from?

But, as you said it was FREE.

lol...Pakistan

I posted the link to this company in the original post. My expectations are not high when I hit the court. I just hate to waste a perfectly good 1/2 set of Big Ace if this stuff doesnt last more than a few hours.

MAX PLY · Apr 8, 2008

Choosing a Natural Gut

Like most things, you will get what you pay for. And, once you have chosen to play with natural gut strings, you have entered an expensive zone. While one gut may last a little longer than another gut, you are really buying gut for the "feel" and not the durability. The premium products (Babolat, Pacific and Wilson) will all play well (which one you will prefer will clearly be a personal preference--I prefer the "feel" of Pacific 17g but I have not been unhappy with Babolat's 17g when the Pacific was not available). What you will find in the premium natural gut strings is consistency--there will not be a vast difference from one set of strings to another. When I have tried to save a little and purchase a cheaper product, the consistency between sets was not there. HOWEVER, that may not bother everyone--the truth is that even cheaper natural gut (to a point) plays pretty well. The problem arises when you treat yourself to a taste of premium string, it's hard to go back. Heck, they are all expensive--try a couple and see what you like and go with it--if you've gone to natural gut, cost really isn't your issue--only relative cost is.

1012007 · Apr 8, 2008

How did you get it for free?

What do you say to them?

racingdad23 · Apr 8, 2008

All I told them was that I was interested in their product but was concerned over the quality of an unknown brand.

Last I heard they were no longer sending any free sets but had samples available at a very low price. ($4)

1012007 · Apr 8, 2008

Ok thanks just emailed them. Is it good playability or is it what you get for $4
