You can get used to anything in terms of grips, but coaches will try to modify grips if they see you are not getting topspin.

You then either change grips or give up getting coached.

A head to head comparsion needs to be done on a season by season basis given that they are not the same age and that they did not even breakthrough at the same age.

So does stringing under 35 accelerate the rate of re-stringing?
