My standard string is 17ga BHB7 at 48lb, but I've tried out Tour Bite 16, 16L, 18, and 19 in the 16x18 frame (all around 48-50lb). They all work well and last me at least 10 hours (with thicker...

I prefer the power/spin/control balance of the...

Between the easy table rotation on the 6004 and the height of the Wise with the adapter, it's easy to spin a racquet around and smack the grip into your tension head. So try to avoid that.

You're on the right track; either racquet will do what you want. They're close enough that to be sure, you really need to demo both and feel for yourself.

No, the 45 minute time is just for maximum points on the stringing portion. It's possible to go over that time and still get a passing score.

lcammisa is a great seller

His asking price was fair, communication was excellent and helpful, and he shipped the racquet quickly.

I can't really ask for more from a TT transaction. I'd definitely buy again.
