I'm trying to get a clear basic idea as to how long tennis string performance maintains for each string type.
Natural Gut is know to be the best in performance life, while Poly perhaps the worst. Will you list each string type and its typical performance life in hours of play and/or number of days and/or weeks? Yes, for some it breaks first so you can't tell, but hypothetically give your best guess please. Assume 16 guage.
For instance, this is my experience:
Type: Performance life - Breaks
Natural Gut: forever - 5 hrs
Multi: 2 months - 15 hrs
Syn Gut: 6 weeks - 5 hrs
Poly: 3 days; 5 hrs - never
Kevlar: N/A - N/A
