    Dear @Prince Tennis Official, please bring us back the Prince Textreme Warrior 107 (2015). Excellent racket and nothing similar in the (whole) market since then… https://www.tennis-warehouse.com/learning_center/racquet_reviews/PW107review.html

    Pro's Pro Strings!?

    . Oh guys, please! There are so many people out there who are perfectly happy with these, Poly Tour Pros, Cyclone Tours, Revolutions, etc. etc. Why do you want to upset them? So many people work in the tennis string business! What is going to happen? How many employees P.P. can employ? Be...

    Pro's Pro Strings!?

    . Try Intense Heat 1.30 and Concept 1.28. I won't say "close", but we can say "to that direction"...

    How to handle multiple frames

    . Your are too young into tennis to marry twice the same racket. Keep trying some more rackets to be sure which one is the One! Then you can puchase two of the same model.

    What racquet do you think is best for baseline consistency?

    . Today and ever: 1. Tapered beam, thicker on the top of the head (tip), the same or slightly thinner beam width and even thinner on the throat (shaft). 2. Open pattern, 16x20 or less (16x19, 16x18) depending how much control do you need vs easy power. 3. Swing weight, the bigger you can swing...

    Pro's Pro Strings!?

    . In a world where the "manufacturers" buy the same string from the same (few) factories and stick their own brand on the reels, they have to personalize the (same) strings. Contrary to the color (which they can't change it without extra cost), a (fake) string gauge declaration is an easier...

    Best string for a beginner ?

    . My advice is to going "medium" in the beginning. Medium power, medium stiffness, medium everything. Then you can choose the right path for you. A perfect "mediocre" :) and "affordable" string is Topspin Cyber Blue 1.25.

    Pro's Pro Strings!?

    . A thick version of (my favourite) GTacky is Comet 0.70. You have to try it some day. I only use blacks and whites GTackies. And I like them more than any other overgrip. I may try the other colors too. It's going to be the colors revenge! Black, red, green racket, with yellow strings and...

    Pro's Pro Strings!?

    . LOL Really, I can't see any difference in quality between branded and Pros Pro strings. Some of them are just the same. eg. Topspin Cyber Twirl was exactly the same string with Hexaspin Twist, black 1.25, at the triple price! I have both reels. Unfortunately! That's a fine all-around...

    Pro's Pro Strings!?

    . Sure! Here some low tension setups with PP strings which were very joyfull to play with... RACKET: HEAD GRAPHENE 360+ SPEED PRO PATTERN: 18X20 STRING MAINS: PROS PRO HEXASPIN TWIST 1.20 LIME TENSION MAINS: 18 KG STRING CROSSES: PROS PRO RED DEVIL 1.19 TENSION CROSSES: 18.5 KG RACKET: PRINCE...

    Pro's Pro Strings!?

    . Weiss Cannon Ultra Cable is my string of choise these days. It palys realy soft. I wonder why you have gone so low with this. Imho, WCUC it's not working well in low tensions, as all "heavy textured" strings like this don't... If you want to stinging low try Plus Power mains and Red Devil...

    Pro's Pro Strings!?

    . Unfortunately, no specs for PP strings... But with 25% of a full price of a "branded" reel, who cares! It's all about trial and error! ;) I have many personal data of the approp. tension for many PP strings on many different rackets! Some were perfect, some terrible!

    Pro's Pro Strings!?

    . It's not. But you may try it 2 kg lower, eg 22 kg mains - 20,5 kg crosses (on a 98-100 sqi racket, 16x19 or 16x20 pattern). It plays much-much better! The extra pocketing makes the ball to dive inside the baseline.

    Pro's Pro Strings!?

    . I have some more weights if that helps (same thread, page 71) It's about +1 gram per thicker gauge counting from 1.18/1.19.

    Save My Arm Please

    . No, it isn't the racket's static weight. All my rackets are heavy. They don't have a similar healing effect to my arm. I believe it depends on the quality of the materials which Fischer has on its rackets. The vibrasions (Hz) of the Fischer look healing. Like an arm massage!

    Save My Arm Please

    . I use to cure my arms the VT Pro or M-Speed / M-Pro Fischers. This is not a joke. It's a reality! When I go back to my Fischers - after some test periods with various painful rackets - my arm stop hurting even from the first playing hour! Playing with a Fischer cures my hurting arm. I can't...

    The Fischer Faction!

    . I was looking for the perfect solution, but from what you say you have not found it yet too. Thank you for your comment anyway. In any case, I believe that there is no perfection in tennis. I'm still looking for a perfect string setup for the Fischer M-Speed 105 SL. The Signum Pro X-Perience...

    The Fischer Faction!

    . After so many years of experience with the "F 105" do you have any successful strings setups to propose for the 320g or the 295g? (105 version in g / string brand / string model / gauge / tension mains - crosses) Thank you in advance!!!

    RacquetTune String Factor for Tourna Big Hitter Silver 17G

    . Old thread, but just for the record - as no one posts the Racket Tune String Factor for Tourna Big Hitter Silver 17 - my SF (based on 3 different rackets / tensions so far) is 1,93 (+/- 0,01). :)

    Bad stringer - the full story

    . Get a Gamma X-2 stringing machine for a few bucks and start string your own rackets.

    Anyone using Pro's Pro Gutex Ultra 16?

    . Gutex Ultra has 1.35 gauge also. He can try that for extra durability. Another similar string, with the same feel and spin, is PP HexMulti. It's a little bit more durable than Gutex. Finally, check the crosses which you use with the Gutex hybrid. It must be rounded, not textured, and 1.23+...

    Average string tension among ATP top 500 players is 20 kg / 44 lb

    . The "key" is to keep playing with it! As you can see on the graph, as you will losing tension you are going to have less power and more control. "Contrary to the common stringing" as the time passes the racket is becoming better! Of course until the 30 lbs were power & control decline...

    Average string tension among ATP top 500 players is 20 kg / 44 lb

    . Why you are so suspicious with those stats of Tennisnerd? Unorthodoxstringing had mention and mesure that eight years ago! I've also test some rackets with low tension (full poly & hybrids) and it really works. It's true. Between two rackets, one at 32 lbs and another at 46 lbs the rocket...

    All Pros using lead tape?

    . ATP pros really use "pro stock" rackets with lesser weight & swingweight from the common just "TW stock" rackets. So, if you are thinking that ATP pros use some lead, please double or even triple it!

    Johanna Konta retires

    . Why is that???? I'm sure that's not about the new time limit for the toilet breaks... As I remember she used to take extra long breaks in the court!!!! Three minutes was the minimum time for her to stand up again - when she was behind on score! We will not miss this way of cheating...

    Pro's Pro Concept

    I'm not a PP hater, I'm a Pro's Pro lover but I found Concept mediocre... There are many better strings in the Pros Pros range as the Plus Power and the Red Devil, to name a few...

    Switching to POG 107

    . Same version like OP's. M: PROS PRO GUTEX ULTRA 1.30 / 57.5 lbs (26 kg) C: SIGNUM PRO X-PERIENCE 1.24 / 53 lbs (24 kg) Plays fine!
