Personally, I like them in chronological order, so we have a sense of what they are being compared to, surpassing, &c.

Thanks. I'll do that later.

I think in the order you tried them is better...

Hmm, you may have a good point here. It's easy enough with CTRL-F to search for strings on the page so maybe the way you have it is best.

as long as it's indexed in some fashion, I'm good. The order makes no difference to me.

Just about to string up full fxp tour at 54.

I lost last night 7-6 3-6 7-5.

I played well, though.

Sounds like a good battle. You made him work in the 2 sets you lost which is a positive sign. Lately, I'd rather play well and lose then play like doo doo and win.

Anxious to see your results with FXP Tour. I have my racquet strung up but haven't been able to use it due to rain

amen. I don't get much satisfaction from playing poorly and winning.

Yeah. He was just playing too well.

Fxp will be tonight if it doesn't rain.

Sounds like a good match. That's a good score to put up against someone who's a blue chip. On another note, let us know how FXP tour is I like the concept of a multi/poly blend, but those that I've tried have been rather lackluster...

Posture Guy · 10-11-2011, 12:53 PM

hey Doubles......nice Head stick, how about those strings?

sorry, couldn't resist (your tag line).

Black5Edge with Babolat Addiction crosses, though I might change the cross strings. I'm just too lazy to change my signature...

FXP Tour is a very unique string. Interested to hear your thoughts.

For some reason that made me laugh. It just sounds like something you would say to an 8 year old.

Up&comer · 10-12-2011, 03:28 AM

Well, fxp tour is...interesting.

I'm going to hit with it again because I'm not sure what I think about it.

It's not stiff or soft, maybe a 5 on my sitffness scale.

I'll write a review tonight.

Funny - I felt the same way after hitting with FXP Tour.
BUT...I used it in a full bed and thought it was definitely more
soft than stiff...but very MUTED. It doesn't give you a lot of
power and isnn't low powered either. The nice thing about it,
is that it doesn't have the "springi-ness" that multi's have, so it
never gets out of control on hard swings.

My main issue with it is the extremely "muted" feel on impact. Not sure if I like that or not.
