    Tennis elbow, natural gut, not very good!

    From my experience (unlike others have) Klip Legend Pro natural gut feels softer than Wilson's natural gut. Wilson' NG takes a few hitting session for it to soften just a tad bit but neither gives me TE. @doninva, you should give Klip Pro Legend a try. I've heard Babo's NG is the same as...

    It's been almost 20 years, hopefully OP knows by now, :laughing:.

    Has anyone tried 4G Rough as cross with gut?

    Is the Elo rating based only on who you played and win/lose against?

    Low tension=power loss?

    Your engineering friend is right, lower tension does make more power but if you lower it enough to a point where you can start to loose power. If you hand pull your strings at 1 lb, you have much less power than at 40 lb. but 40 lb can have more power than 50 or 55 lb depending on the strings...

    Multifilament vs premium synthetic gut vs polyamide monofilament.

    If I had to choose 1 if the 3, I would go with multifilament for arm comfort. Plus they play well until it snaps.

    Which poly to hybrid with natural gut?

    I tried Pro Line Rough with Legend, and it was great! But I think Pro Line II (non-rough) with Legend lasted a bit longer. Neither snapped prematurely. Has anyone tried 4G Rough with ngut? I plan to try this upcoming summer.

    Should players be forced to retire after a certain age? Did Sampras do it the right way?

    That is simply just called "hate". Nothing wrong with that, it's everywhere. He retired a year, you must had the time of your life for 2023.

    Should players be forced to retire after a certain age? Did Sampras do it the right way?

    The only reason anyone want anybody to retire is because your afraid he'd might break your favorite players record. Instead, just come to this forum and post "he needs to retire".

    Best stringing machine for less than or around $2K

    You can get a calibrating scale for about $35. I was using the Klippermate for 12 years and just upgraded to the Gamma X-ELS last year. It was a wonderful and perfect upgrade but if I had any 6pt mount crank machine, I probably wouldn't have upgraded.

    Another milestone in the EV revolution

    When this happens they recommend everyone to stay inside. Even if it was less than 1/10 of 1%, that is globally. Most of these come from human activities and these activities are where humans are which covers a majority of the population, in terms of geographic coverage. You'll probably never...

    I'm also trying on that too but communication is pretty slow since I have nothing to look at and don't know what's out there. Is there any way you can make a list of all base clamp models and add few biggest features for each? Also pricing will help too. Thanks!

    Any recent experience with Wilson Natural Gut

    Klip's NG is finally available again but price went up. I last purchased Klip was about 5 years ago and that was $20 a set, now it's $40 a set after the pandemic, only a few $ less than Wilson's NG. I finally got a set of Wilson NG and hopefully get to use it this upcoming summer.

    Natural gut or its alternative?

    I also suggest you try the gut/poly setup. Not sure what your goal is but if it's only the 3-4 weeks, the gut/poly is great for that too along with some other benefits over full gut.
