Ok so here goes.....when I was on an extended holiday abroad I found what seems to be a good enough tennis shop with a vast selection of rackets and strings.
In addition, they had a Babolat Sensor Expert machine which I believe is one of the best available. Being so impressed with the equipment, I asked for a VS gut/ Pro hurricane hybrid on my Ncode 6.1 95. I expected it to play like nothing I've ever tried. (By the way the tension was roughly mid range with the gut on the mains)....yet it played shockingly bad. I was not able to get any control and the whole stringbed just felt like a flimsy piece of crap. I later went back and got a second string job of Luxilon Alu Power on the same racket and it felt equally bad i.e. as if something was wrong but I couldn't pinpoint what.
So my question is as follows; can a stringer still screw up a string job even if they are using such an expensive machine? What could they have done wrong??
Thanks for all replies in advance
