Telling them they are not scientific is not ill intent? Maybe so, but even if you are right and not wrong, and if you are right, and they were not in their testing, that's not ill intended, just truthful? The truth can be ill intended, and now, torres has to be able to prove that I am what he says I am, or pay for his "free speech." While it is true, that stiffness scales don't always represent felt on court stiffness, pointing out that it's not right to say, or write about, without doing any of that work, yourself, is just down right presumptuous. I would not appreciate it, if I was the one in the lab testing for tw, to have my work denigrated, even if you were right, that's not the point is it? Denigration of a service is the point. A service I am sure they pay for, and all who buy from them in part. Whether or not you used the rec. hybrid is not the point. The point is, you down graded them without doing so, based on hybrids I've never seen recommended by ltec. It will come out, that ltec will replace lux alu with juniors first, and then as they age, pros. Rsi will show their tests of ltec as top strings also, as soon as Greg Raven tests them with his 33 guys, at 23.2 hrs. each. I am not paid by ltec, not by anyone to defend them either, just don't like to see a great product slandered by such posters who don't even have the decency to try the product as recommended, or at all. And if I were objective out there, take that fact into account for yourself, and buy some from tw yourself and judge for yourself, and not go by slander.
I might also add, that I've tried the jet methods, the mini jet, and posted them here for pv. I am not a low tension guy, and in my opinion, as I use a heavy frame, at a larger wt., and hit very hard, that lower tension, esp. as I was never brought up with it, is not the right tension for any string. Some of those methods work, such as perimeter tension increasing, to make their strings hold tension longer and feel better for rec. hitters who can't afford to string every day/hr. Those methods are: increase the last two mains by 8lbs on each side, ping out the center 8 (18 x 20), and 6 (16 x 19) so that after adjusting them with your finger by pressing down, they have similar sonic tension/ping noise, as the shorter strings are, the higher pitch they will put out. Also, start the first three crosses at higher tension top down by several lbs ( I do 8lbs) and then as well on the last three at bottom, so that the center strings are surrounded by a tighter perimeter than normal string jobs. Simple, yet effective for tension main. if done as described. I have also found, that if you vary tension on every other cross by 2lbs going down, say from 60-58-60-58, that will also combat tension loss extremely well for those who have never tried it.
The real purpose for any of us posting is to help each other, not hurt our enthusiasm for the game, so we will buy more things from tw, not less things! Right? So let's stop all the personal bs now. If not, it will only hurt sales, and our own performance on court, not help them.
