With lesser number of strings taking the load, will they break easier?
The 99s.....the s by the way stands for sweeeeeeeet!
To keep it legal you want the pattern to be fairly regular. By spacing out the drilling to evenly divided the cross string coverage, you should get the same type of response with whatever increased spin benefit. You don't get that by dropping a couple of the outside crosses.
In your case, it might just stand for "stupid". Ya dig?
I think the idea is that the mains will move more because of less friction due to the decrease in cross strings. The increased movement will make the main strings rub more on the crosses and eventually they will break.
Anything that increases spin should be banned - doesn't matter what it is or what the technology is. Spin should come from your technique and hard practice and not from your racquet or your strings.Your post has more agenda than truth. I expect you know better about said stringing.
Actually, next will be the lasagna stringed racquets. :shock:I can't wait for linguine stringed racquets.
Suggest skipping every other main and cross in the sweetspot where most balls are struck. The trampoline effect and uneven response has to be incredible. Maybe poly alleviates the problems. Anyone with a stringer should try it.

So since your 16x19 racquet produces more spin than an18x20, it should be banned; it's an unfair advantage.Anything that increases spin should be banned - doesn't matter what it is or what the technology is.

Must be quite the ethical struggle each time you step on the tennis court.
We should all be playing the old 22x30 Pro Kennex Micro racquets strung at a very high tension, all to completely eliminate ANY spin.
I am switching to a 18#20 Tfight320.
Can't handle the steam....too wild for ya ? ;-)
The Steam may just be full of hot air.

If that's true, then yes, it should be banned. But the thing is, I get just as much spin, sometimes even more spin, with 18x20 racquets as I do with 16x19 racquets. Why? Because I generate spin with my technique and not with my racquet or strings. I generate just as much spin with multis as I do with poly strings, which is why I don't use poly. I don't choose racquets because of string pattern because I can hit with as much spin with any pattern.So since your 16x19 racquet produces more spin than an18x20, it should be banned; it's an unfair advantage.

The standard 65 sq. in. wood racquet with the standard 18x20 pattern strung with the standard natural gut strings.Increases spin over what standard?

The reason why 85 sq. in. racquet are called MIDsize and 107 sq. in. racquets are called OVERsize is because 65 sq. in. racquets are the STANDARD size.

What's so special about it?Then you better file a case against Federer, because he has been using a special open pattern in the sweetzone.
And why should standards change? Aren't the standards for equipment in baseball the same in 2012 as they were in 1980? Isn't the size of the standard tennis court the same in 2012 as it was in 1980?Sounds to me like you want the 'standard' from your generation to last forever. This is 2012, not 1980. You're also using a graphite racket with an open pattern in contradiction with your argument.
Everyone generates spin with technique, regardless of how slow or poor that form maybe. If you cannot produce more spin with poly, then well, it says something for your technique to develop racket head speed. I now understand why you feel bitter about tech enhancements; you'd love to make use of them (see the racket you have) but do not have the form to do so, and thus, poly et al should be banned.
Too much steam for ya? ....bit too wild ? i understand you need somethimg a bit more tame like an 18x20......its always about control for women. .

As an insecure fragile babushka I look for the ultimate control in a frame because I can generate all the power using my technique.

I don't produce spin with poly because I hit flat and I swing pretty fast. And I don't use poly because I don't want my arm to fall off and I want to be able to play tennis for the rest of my life.
Why should standards not change? We're not talking dimensions of the court but advancements in equipment technology used to play said sports. Every sport has seen some technological advancement, no matter how small, and will continue to do so as companies push out their latest and greatest 'new' tech. Some are gimmicky and some work (poly), and some push it too far (spaghetti strings).
Anyways, you've killed your own argument by using modern tech and with a spin friendly open pattern to boot. Not only that, the only reason you're not using a poly is that is does not suit your style of play and is hard on your arm. You then begrudge anyone else's game where poly works for them. These are hardly valid reasons.
Insecure babuska? I think not. I'm definitely a fan.....I'd like to see your technique some time.

I hit with a lot of topspin and moonball ALOT, beware...
It obviously does work or else Wilson wouldn't be coming out with these racquets. But it shouldn't be allowed to work because players shouldn't be allowed to use it. If players want to generate more spin, they should go work on their technique, not just buy a new racquet.So if that's your belief, then why are you getting defensive about a technology you know does not work?
Was there something wrong with tennis back in 1980? Absolutely not! In fact, tennis was more popular in the U.S. in 1980 and more people played tennis in 1980 during the wood ear than they do now. So obviously people back then had no problem with wood racquets and gut strings and probably liked them more than they like the modern graphite racquets and poly strings of today, which is why more people played tennis back then than they do now.Why should standards not change?

I do use a wood racquet and I still would if everyone else also used wood racquets. It has to be fair. It wouldn't be fair to be the only batter in baseball to use a wooden bat if all the other batters get to use powerful aluminum bats, would it?And this is why you personally use a wood racquet strung with natural gut. . .ooh right, you don't. If you believe so strongly then why are you not? Fight the good fight then.

You should try the new tour versions....big improvement .
Real players stick way more solid......
But I have a feeling that these Wilson's are going to be amazing so I wouldn't buy any vortex's till those pups come out.
I wish I could preorder ![/QUOTE

The Vortex are old Wonderwand frames with different string patterns.
If Wilson has seen a market then, the R&D should come up with something serious.
Even Weed tennis is putting out a 16x19 on a 135 sq in frame. Put Prince in the mix and, we see the new direction.

As it is, I use the closest thing to a wood racquet still available (PS 6.0 85).
So what's with the four horses in your avatar? Amd are you seriously from Jamiaca NY?

P.S. Or maybe they will break down the door and use fire extinguishers to put out the fire burning inside my heart and soul.
Why? Is it written in stone somewhere?Tennis is a sport that changes over time so the idea that it should remain fixed in the wood era is absurd, but I'm sure there's wooden framed grass court tournaments that one can enjoy.
