Classic Racquets and Synthetic Gut

slowfox · 02-13-2013, 10:40 AM

Do these old sticks really play better with syn gut, or does it just feel *right* cuz that's what we used back in the day with these classics? I hear folks saying things like "it plays better with synthetic gut 16 gauge", "tried it with poly/multi and it sucks", etc etc.

I'm wondering if manufacturers back then designed the frames to perform best with the strings at the time...?
