Older racquet with brittle plastic. Not the stringer's and the seller's fault. Have it tubed or find a new grommet set. String rubbing against edge of frame will cause premature breakage. 2 cents.

Not a good idea as your muscle memory will get use to the heavier frame. Then, when you switch back to your lighter playing frame, the SW, balance, etc. differences will mess up your strokes. That's...

Half a dozen or 6 of a kind dilemma. The SG is about twice as resilient as the poly. That means you may lose about 6# in the poly and 3# from the SG. Only way you're going to know when to start...

The SPPP will continue to relax just by sitting around. To hasten the descent to 50#, put the racquet on the floor and a heavy weight or book, i.e. 10-20#, on the string bed. You may need to put the...

+1 LeeD's advice. I would just string the racquets at 60# (since they're Super OS) using a 16L Ga or 16 Ga SG. The 60# will eventually and quickly drop to around the low 50's. Ask him periodically...

Tension maintenance is pretty good for...
