Mamba Premium Natural Gut - Review - Page 13

AC Tennis · 10-10-2012, 05:00 PM

I've tried three sets of Mamba Premium Natural Gut and have given up. 1st set was good. 2nd set snapped while stringing, both 1/2 sets. 3rd set was very dry and brittle with half unraveling so much I couldn't string it. See pics of that last set here: http://s496.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/Mamba%20gut/
Ray was good about replacing the 2nd set that snapped while stringing, but I e-mailed him the pics of the 3rd set and have not heard anything back in about a month. Oh well, I guess you get what you pay for. Perhaps the Supra is better quality.

I had pretty much the same experience. I had a lot of trouble pulling through the grommets, snapped one set with only a few hours on it, and ruined one set pulling it through the grommets. I also sent a picture to Ray. I wasn't going to post up because Ray was taking care of everyone but I sent him the pic of the broken string about 3 weeks ago and never heard a word. I emailed him twice. I have found a good gut which is similar to PMaxx to me but I have to import it from India. At least I found something I can play with at a good price.

I have a set of Pac Classic but have not try yet. But I really like Supra with Iontec. It plays great and feels great and very durable. So far I am at least 28hr and counting... Too bad it's out of stock forever.

Very strange that you don't receive both of my emails after I sent you my address. In any case, don't worry about it then.

Sorry. I should have said Supra has been out of stock for the last few months and not meant to say Supra is out for good. I would buy more once they are in stock.

Hi... Sorry, we have been swamped. I do not remember seeing that, but I will sure look. We will always make it right if you do not have a good experience.

Likewise, I will check on this. We have been buried, but want to make sure everyone gets taken care of, so keep on us if it take a bit to respond. Very very busy.

We are working on getting more, but we had quality issues with a batch and will not sell it until we can be confident in it. It is not out for good, but it is out until we know it will perform well. I hope to have more very soon.

Hi Ray:

What's going on with Thunderstring Qu4ttro string? I ordered a set for testing, but didn't get it. Susan wrote a note saying it's unavailable. How about Qu4ttro reel string?

Thanks.

Xiaobo.

+1. I'd love to get me some Qu4ttro in a reel. For me it plays as well as LTec 4S at 35% less. But if it's not available, I have to keep buying 4s.
