1. WC Scorpion 1.22 2. WC B5E 3. Signum Pro Tornado 1.23 4. Discho Iontec Black 17 5. TF NRG2 18 Favorite overall syn gut is Gosen OGSM 17g. Favorite cross string is Babolat Nvy.

PTP feels like the reel it's wound on, IMO.

Full poly!?!? The arm is holding up? dj, I thought I had one more game before I should switch sticks because the grip was greasy. Turned out I had one less game :(

Still have 4 sets of the real deal SNGPS :) And 5 sets of the fake **** in SNGPS packaging :mad:

My good man, were you not using Pacific/Co-Focus a year ago? I believe it was you who started the entire gut/CoFocus trend on here. :)

Good summer to all! Just wanted to "update" in that there is no real update. Still going strong with the Prestige Pro, although I cracked one on a serve :mad: but am doing Scorpion/Nvy at 47/50. Can anyone give me a run down of what's the "hot" string out there these days?

Word to those who will listen: tennis once every 10 days is not conducive to steady progress :)

Are they owned by Te.Dep.?

Genesis is a manufacturer, my friend. Not a retailer.

As I'd said two years ago, Pro Supex Spiral Flex. :)

Nah, I'm super happy with what I've got. Why mess with a good thing!

Aha! The elbow not bothering you too much?

Yeah, I do quite miss club tennis. Lots of good tennis and good people :)

Quite a few string breakers in that lot, let me tell you :)

Yeah man, life definitely changes for the...real :)

Give it to the stringer. Every. Single. Time. The last year I strung for my school's club team and others in the city, I refused to string a racquet from a reel unless I could cut the string. Reason being, people assume all machines are the same. People think all methods are the same. People...

AHHHHHH! I am not kidding, I just yelled out loud in a wince during your second serve. I tore my rotator cuff years ago from using too much internal rotation on kick serves, and you're going far beyond what I ever did. You need a complete reformulation before you permanently injure yourself. I...

TDK, I don't like even addressing you since what you say is always hyperbolic or incorrect, but I just have to say this. Your reasoning is based on 100% fallacy because it is based on an appeal to ignorance. I would wager that about 95% of people who post in this forum understand that Kevlar has...

You are 100% wrong...again. Nylon is a polyamide which means that the polymer is based on amide functional groups and bonds. Nylon and Kevlar are both forms of polyamide based materials, much like wool and silk in the natural world. Polyester, however, contains an ester functional group. They...

Yes, your conclusion does not make a theory. When the majority of the evidence points to the contrary, your theory does not become true because it applies to you. If the majority of TE sufferers are club level players (and obviously they are), then any string with the highest likelihood of...

I can't believe this thread is still going on.

How can you possibly lump ALU, BBO, and 4G all under the same category when they all play nothing even remotely alike?

If your poly is still snapping back like fresh after a month of play time, then honestly, you don't need to be using poly.

I actually just counted: 43 comprised of natural gut, multifilament and synthetic gut, and 53 poly strings.

No, it's just your point that's incorrect. Until this past spring when I liquidated, I stocked over 90 strings (yes, 9 times 10), over 50 of which were poly. Every single string in my inventory did this, and I had RPM in two gauges. RPM is not even close to being at the top for spin strings...

My friend, I assure you that you're not doing it right. You should never realize that you're airborne when serving. As already said, it's simply a result of driving with your legs. The other reason that jumping is bad is because a serve is about perpendicular angles. You need to drive your body...

1. WC Scorpion 1.22mm 2. WC Black5Edge 1.22mm 3. Signum Pro Tornado 1.23mm 4. Discho Iontec Salmon 18g 5. Babolat Pro Hurricane 18g If I had to say overall what the best string for the most people is, I'd say WC Silverstring 1.20mm. That would be my #6 choice because it simply does...

Yes. I promise you that you're doing something horribly wrong if none of those other strings snap back freshly strung. Even synthetic gut snaps back when fresh.

Out of the ones you've listed? Either BHBR or Tour Bite. Neither, IMO, comes close to what I feel are the best out there. My opinion, of course, is just that.

With all due respect, you clearly have either had your racquets strung terribly or simply have not played with many strings. Every poly I have strung exhibits this behavior.
