Best Natrual Gut Strings?
I never have played with natural gut strings before.
I know Babolat VS is the most popular in the market. Any other natural gut strings do you want to recommend me for comfort and durability? Thanks! |

Most people here claim that Wilson gut is the old VS gut formula which was the most popular and most expensive.

Do a search, there have been polls, questions, everything. My personal favorite is Pacific Classic or Prime depending on the frame I'm playing with.

I am no expert. In the last 17 months I have used full beds of
4 frames with Babolat 16g 1 frame with Wilson 16g 1 frame with Wilson 17g I never quite believed other posters claiming Wilson as softer. After playing 100+ sessions with the aforementioned Wilson is much softer. I cannot prove it. But I can feel it.

Yup I tried both ToughGut and Prime and Prince is still better. It's just softer and more elastic than Prime though difference is probably about 10% so not as obvious compared to ToughGut which was just stiff.

Toughgut's the longest lasting I've ever used. I can't seem to break it. I could barely notch the damn thing.

Sigh. Bring back old babolat natural gut. That was "candy".
I now played bt7 for 1 year. I don't like it at all. |

So Wilson appears to play better then Babolat BT7, but which one lasts longer? At that price, durability would be a big issue for me.
