Id still have a 4.0 without the weighting.

Edit: I'd have a 3.7. I think the weighting with AP is justified.

Well, you have three options. Enough sleep, good grades, and tennis. You can only pick two.

That's only true if you have to work. The government pays me to go to school, so I have time for all 3.

Strung up Unifibre gut mains at 56# with B5E crosses at 52#. Hit a few balls off the wall with it and about 40 serves. I can honestly say the fastest 2 serves of the year I hit were today with this setup. My slice serve was super heavy and nasty. Looking forward to playtesting it in battle on Tuesday.

Can't wait to hear what you think.

A little note regarding the Unifibre. If you have the other half-set, you should store it in an air-tight container, possibly. What happens that that the string starts to unravel within the container once the container is opened. I've had two half-sets unravel after 3 weeks of storage, showing the 6 or so smaller strands making up the string. I strang them up anyway despite the unraveling, and it plays the same. But it's somewhat concerning that it unravels over time.

The unifibre plays great though. I like it more than Performaxx HT, actually.

Maybe you should put some power pads in the container.

I agree. It's about time we saw eye to eye.

Same thing happened with my full WT string job. I even used power pads. I wasn't impressed with the longevity of this string. It didn't last very long before breaking. I'll try another gut string and maybe save some $$ from not having to re-string it early.
