On serves is where the PST falls short for me too. I now use the PK Ki5 315 which is what I consider the best all round racquet available today. It doesn't excel for one particular stroke, but it...

Racquets hold up just fine. Be aware that the 315 version rarely seems to weight 315g, I have 3 racquets that are 307, 309 and 310 grams. They all play identically and are balanced identically.

I use multis strung on the lower side, usually around 50-53lbs and get great spin off the racquet. Note that spin is 95% technique though. Anyway, another advantage of using low string tension is...

Strategy is the key for 5.0 and above tennis. Learn how to construct points that favor your strengths against an opponent's weaknesses before he does the same to you.

I know the Pure storm Tour well. If you string it with a multi at around 52-55lbs you will get about the same power as a PDR strung with a typical poly, but you will get twice the control. And it is...
