Say Chi already did, I believe, in this thread. Probably, no one else will 'cause no one can order any. Mamba guts, all flavors, have been out of stock forever. I need some more but I don't think I can wait. Think I'm just gonna stick with Pac Classic. A little more expensive, but the spin with CoFocus cross is crazy. However, I must say that I like the feel of Mamba Supra better than Pac Classic.

Go back a few pages and read my review.

where can you buy this in internet ?

HOw is the Supra natural gut 17 G ? Thinking about hybrid with pro hurr tour or proline evolution. $21.00 is not bad for natural gut as long as it is easy to string.

Ray told me today that a shipment would be in next week. I know he is straight up but last time I ordered it was two weeks more after notification.

I need to learn that lesson.

I bought a reel of MSV CoFocus and each restring, being only a half set, costs me less than $3. Every 4-5 restrings, I put in either a half set of Pacific Classic at $15 or a half set of Mamba Supra at $11. My arm thanks me for this.

Have you ever changed mains only?

I will never do that.

So Mamba is going to get more Premium gut next week? Good, because I'm running out.

No, b/c my cross is MSV CoFocus & it's cheap as cheap can be.

Supra is great. It beats just about any $21 string out there. You're gonna love it with a poly cross. This string is dry and certainly not as elastic as most of the natural gut out there. You must be careful when you string and string it a bit lower tension than you would with other guts. If you've ever played with Pacific Classic, the power is very similar, so string it at the tension that you would string Pac Classic.

Can you compare it to Mamba Premium natural or black?

In this very same thread here (post #216):

I compared the Supra with MPNG. I have not tried the black gut yet.

Can MPNG be useful at around 40 maybe even 38lb with a poly cross near the same ? I play polys at low 30s now and has great spin, power and feel and have been experimenting with gut mains but 3 setups at 54,52,48 with poly crosses ionteca 2lbs looser and all setups have been very average at best. I am about to give up on the guts would appreciate some feedback.

I'm looking for hi spin and control, avg power.

Gut would probably cause your balls to go pretty long in the low 40s even with a poly cross. You could try it the other way and have the poly in the main.

That's what they said about poly at 35. I guess I may just have to try it.

I was lucky enough to have been introduced to poly at low tensions. So I can't agree with you there.

You're right though. You will have to try it and see for yourself. No harm in experimenting on string set ups

I play poly at 35 and just saying that that's what everyone said about tpoly at that ension. I pretty much can't imagine gut at that tension, will probably feel like bubble gum. I may not try it unless I hear someone here say they have and get feedback.
