I found 17g BHBR to be the best at spin for me. Something about it just works, and it is consistently recommended when spin enters the equation. Only $8, too.

You might also try extra low tensions,...

Interesting way of looking at it. I have moved to a full western after dropping to 30. I think more main movement also has an impact, but the higher trajectory could be causing small changes in how...

Just a head's up, my first experience with BHBR was not so good. I think I strung a half set with a smooth cross at around 58 or 57, and that made it feel incredibly stiff (which is to stiff feeling...

I agree with Floyd--pick a racquet and stick with it. I was in a similar position as you, but trying to find an arm friendly racquet. I ended up with a 7G, yet I also rely heavily on spin. The Exo...

Looks like paint to me. Structural cracks don't usually spider out in multiple directions like that. If it is structural, you might be able to flex it back and forth. You'd see the crack get wider...

This is an interesting idea as I haven't tried a syn gut hybrid in a while, and definitely not at ELT. One of the main reasons is the spin of a full poly set up. Do you think it compares? I play with...

Oddly, it is the BHBR that is notching. I think it is because the mains are freer to move now. I might be hitting harder, too, as the ball's flight path just arches down so quickly. Keeps it in, but...

I like Polyon in the crosses, but only at low tensions as it is really stiff. It really allows the mains to slide. I keep the tensions the same.

I'm down to 30 now and can tell you, it's no joke. I'm glad people are trying things out and reporting on them. With poly, there really isn't much more power there, just a different feel.
