Talk Tennis - View Single Post - Syn gut has less elasticity then multi's. How does this effect playability?

Can the strands break inside the outer coating without it being visible?

So does elasticity impact feel, touch & control?

What happens when a string loses it's elasticity? Does it go "dead"?

Will a multi/syn gut of same stiffness, have the same power?

If a string is less powerful/stiffer, can I just drop the tension down a bit? Will this give the low tension/stiff string more control then the less stiff/higher tension string?
