nytennisaddict,
Two questions :
1) have you or anyone you know tried TB 15L (1.35 mm)?
2) if you had 15g Revolve in the crosses with 16g Kevlar, are you breaking the Kevlar first still?
I am only stringing for 4.0 guys using 99S Frames, not any 4.5 guys, so hopefully the 15L TB or 15G Revolve gets this one guy 10 hours or so with his 99S frames. He is breaking three CT 16 mains ever 14 days like clockwork. I strung up a 15g Revolve / 16g CT frame him last night and will get the 15L TB in on Tuesday.
I've tried a full set of solinco TB... lasted a couple hrs, max, I think.
I have played Kevlar 16g/15g revolve... the Kevlar mains break first (center strings,... seriously notched),... mains weren't too far behind though... lasted about 6-8hrs.
new fave is Kevlar 16g mains/baseline 15g crosses... plays similar enough to revolve, but it's a waaaay cheaper.
I'm basically still stuck stringing weekly but at least it's not daily/hourly like some full poly setups (ahem lux 4g!!)
keep in mind my style of play is not a s&v or counter puncher.,.. you give me any ball I can set up for and I'm going for it on my fh... heavy topspin to keep it in. high risk shots. my practice sessions are with 4.5/5.0 guys that hit similar heavy topspin so racquet collisions are violent (vs someone slicing or pushing it back)... our drills also maximize hits per hr (cc consistency drill since we only have an hour to play at lunch time)
