    ive tried both klips legend and pacific classic. i say pacific classic is way more crisp. i prefer klips legend though.

    Natural Gut, which brand?

    pacific classic all the way. plays like a high end gut but much more affordable.

    All of a sudden, im breaking strings in 1 day...solution?

    so i got finally got to hit with the pacific classic gut x lux bb rough 60/55 and i must say that this is not my favorite setup. alot of pop from any gut/poly hybrid i have done. i still like champions choice but this this setups is much more efficient at its cost. so i guess i will be...

    All of a sudden, im breaking strings in 1 day...solution?

    i kinda wanna bump this up so i get some opinions on here. so far,i contact mamba tennis about the half set that broke on me and i asked for a refund. kindly, they refunded me without having me to return the strings even after i insisted returning them. bad news is that i lost a half set of...

    Mamba Supra gut?

    i did a starting knot. i have always done it that way even with gut and no problem. i should try a starting clamp next time since i do have one. i just stuck with the way i usually do it. so with the starting clamp technique, you leave the starting clamp outside the frame until you do enough...

    Mamba Supra gut?

    mine also snapped at the top of the racket but at the tie off for the crosses. but i didnt even get a chance to hit with it and it snapped!!! it snapped while it was in the bag. haha. i was pissed that i had to cut a perfectly good half set of lux bb rough though. wouldnt recommend these...

    All of a sudden, im breaking strings in 1 day...solution?

    OK....HUGE UPDATE.... after going to the courts, i open up my bag and was ready to use the racket with the mamba strings and i see that the strings snap where the crosses starts at the tie off. so i didnt even get to play with it and worse off, i wasted a half set of lux bb rough because it was...

    All of a sudden, im breaking strings in 1 day...solution?

    i appreciate your concern. i was able to to use the rest of the set of the one that broke. i barely made it with the excess strings. i do hybrid setups and so i save the other half set for the future. if anything, i would like to try your premium version. you can contact me at ferrytran...

    X-One Biphase 17 & Gamma Pro 17 - Cross?

    any hybrid of multi main and poly crosses will break within a day of hitting. specifically the multi will not handle the stiff friction of the cross. trust me, ive gotten experience from that. i broke two setups of multi/poly in a day. i was pissed because of the waste of money that was...

    All of a sudden, im breaking strings in 1 day...solution?

    ok.... i finally got to string the mamba supra strings. opened the package and they came with two half sets (they were coiled in two sets rather than being one piece). ive read around hearing that people say the strings come with a weird feel on them. they in fact do. i felt a sticky...

    Full bed natural gut: Main/Cross same or different tension?

    i string rackets for myself. not for a living. i prefer to do natural gut in the mains and lux bb rough on the crosses 5 lbs lower than whatever i choose to do the mains at.

    All of a sudden, im breaking strings in 1 day...solution?

    i dont want to turn this into a mamba gut thread but i just received my set of gut from them and so far, im happy with their service. it took only 2 days from the order date to receive and shipping was free! and thats shipping from the east coast to the west coast which i would have expected...

    Full bed natural gut: Main/Cross same or different tension?

    i personally do crosses lower than mains in all string jobs. my philosophy is that the looser crosses will allow the mains to snap back better creating more spin.

    Natural Gut; Wilson or Babolat?

    thumbs up for this comment. multis break much faster for me as well and i think it would be better off paying more for the gut when the gut last longer. there cost to longevity ratio is probably the same. but of course gut plays better:) (in gut/poly hybrid)

    All of a sudden, im breaking strings in 1 day...solution?

    even with a fullbed of a multi, i have tried x1 biphase and nxt tour, i have been breaking them in less than 5-6 hours of play. they last longer than a multi/poly setup though. to me, those multis feel the same for me. I also just ordered a set of pacific classic gut and looking to try...

    Replacement advice for my gut

    I am currently also using the PSBLX 90 and prefer gut/poly as well. specifically wilson champions choice which is similar to what you have. i was also finding an alternative to the expensive gut but i went though 5 sets of multi/poly and i literally broke 2 sets in one day with less than 2...

    so do you have a lot of experience with the supra gut? did you ever have them break prematurely or during stringing? im excited to give it a try once it comes in.

    All of a sudden, im breaking strings in 1 day...solution?

    yup, i use full western on that racket. takes a lot of energy away from me but i play aggressive :). i see a lot of people agree with gut/poly over poly/gut. but it is personal preference. i felt i got less spin with poly/gut for the one time i had that setup. i ended up cutting them which...

    All of a sudden, im breaking strings in 1 day...solution?

    i have used gut in the crosses once with poly mains. it was the worst decision ever and waste of money. so i would never put gut in the crosses.

    is the only place to get the mamba supra natural gut is off their website? looks like some people like them and it would be worth a shot. looks like ill be testing tonic, mamba supra and pacific classic. i hope they play just as good as the wilson natural gut. and i hope they dont break...

    All of a sudden, im breaking strings in 1 day...solution?

    in that case, what is a good natural gut for a low price. what has got my interest so far is the babolat tonic. supposedly they do not match the quality of vs gut but it is much cheaper. anybody with experience?

    So im using the new 2012 Wilson Prostaff blx 90 6.1 tour. the best and perferred set of strings i use is the wilson champions choice. i do nat gut in the mains at 60lb and the lux rough on the crosses at 55lbs. my reasons for those tension is that my philosophy is that if the crosses are...

    Technifibre X-1 Bi 17 Mains & Blk Code 17 Crosses

    i tried X1B as the main with lux BB rough on the crosses. the setup last literally like 3 hours. but then again, the X1B was 18 gauge and the big banger rough was sawing it down. so i restrung with 18g X1b with 17g rpm blast and same thing happen. but this time, surprisingly, it lasted only...

    VS Black gut mains and RPM Blast crosses

    i have tried this setup twice, first: rpm mains and gut crosses, that was one of the worst setups i ever had. second: gut mains, rpm crosses, it was better but not exceptional. i stick with the wilson champion setup gut mains and poly crosses. this was all on a blx 90 at 55lbs. i am new to...
