I think my biggest gripe with the 4GS 45lb setup, is that serving accuracy drops tremendously. I find I have to just be content with serving to general areas of the service box, rather than specific...

After playing with it for a while, I'm on the fence with the steam 99s. On one level it feels best to me strung with 4G at 62lbs. But after the severe notching that occurs the strings are all over...

I'm at 45lbs with the 4Gs and the only downside for me is it makes the racquet feel a little vague on serve. I find myself having to be content with going for general areas of the service box rather...

I just strung mine up with the 4GS at 45lbs. And I think it produces a much more consistent string bed then running the 16gauge 4G at 62lbs.

I love my steam 99s. It is just ultimately a solid all around racquet. I added some weight to the handle of mine to bring it up to about 12oz and 8pts headlight.

Get some tungsten putty or blutac and shove a bunch of it in the handle. It transforms the 99s into a scalpel. I brought mine up to about 11.9, and I think about 7pts headlight, and boom put away...

I love the 99S more and more each day. Once the strings settled in a bit I am happy with it strung at 62lbs with 4G. My consistency with this racquet is through the roof. I really have zero...

I tailweighted mine to about 11.8-11.9oz and seven points headlight. One of my racquets has some lead at three and nine, but I put that on just to match the other racquet. I lost nothing in terms of...

String tension on the Steam 99s

Has anybody at TW that plays with the 99s tried stringing them with 4G at lower tension like mid 40s?
Does it make the play too erratic? I have been stringing them with 4G in the 58-60lb range, but...

I don't find my balls sit up at all with the 99S. They are just flat out nasty and heavy. I think the plow through is phenomenal. Granted mine are tailweighted to 12oz so that might help.

I also found that Sanford Design Kneaded erasers work well to tailweight racquets. .99cents at any art supply store. The mold and stick really well to the inside handle.

I found I had to restring more frequently with the Radical Pro then I do with the 99s. Go figure.

Yes.
With full poly, I restring pretty frequently anyway, no matter what the racquet.
