Damn 4 sticks and strings last 6 weeks or more?
Do you only string rackets every 5 moths? |

I string them every 6-7 weeks when the strings stop snapping back into place or when they break. I play about three times a week around 2 hours each session and sometimes league tennis. Before I switched to poly hybrids I was playing TNT 16 and they would last about 2-4 hours in the YT Rad Pros which is why I have the four racquets. With the longevity of the gut/poly hybrid four racquets does feel like a bit of overkill.

I honestly have no idea why Luxilon made two gauges of the string. That makes no sense at all to me.
A question for you though, why are you using power pads on the poly mains, just to damp the feel a bit? |

I will be testing a gut mains setup tonight courtesy of levy1. I will use my reference standard cross poly, CoFocus.

I know it doesn't make sense to have powerpads without a gut or multifilament, but I have been using them since high school (late 90's). I have been demoing full bed polys the past 3-4 months.In the initial all 16 4G string Job I didn't have the power pads in there. I put them back on because I missed the signature, I can only call a "creaky snap" on impact. It wasn't for a deader feel, it was just the sound and response it gave me which always gave me confidence when hitting the ball. I used to use multifilament mains, and I never used dampeners. Maybe its just an old habit I just can't break?! |

Don't forget to straighten the mains, too.

First time posting in this thread( always been too lazy to take pictures and uplod them here.
  Sorry for the filters, but I took these pics using instagram... Current stringjob, B5E mains, Yonex Poly Tour Pro crosses, @ 43. I have one black Yonex PTGP reel coming, so the stringjob will look better, I promise.

Yep, you just leave the 2 (or 1 is possible) outer mains short. Then do an "Around the world" method.
I don't find any real benefits other than cosmetic with this whole stringing method, I just do it for fun. Although i'm sure that people who like to play with their tension and string type will feel a difference. |
