    Does the Wilson shock shield really increase grip size?

    From my experience it used to be thicker and heavier when the grip first came out but now it feels like a regular replacement grip.

    Polys with the most "feel"??

    Vs touch main / alu power rough cross

    How to decide: control vs. power frame

    If the balls tend to go too short on off center shots then power oriented racquet would suit your game. If the balls tend to fly off the court on off center shots then control oriented racquet would suit your game.

    Pros pro string with good spin and usable for 20 hours?

    For me Pros pro red devil 18g is the best one in the brand in terms of feel, power, and spin. Durability might be an issue.

    Hardest string material, least notching, different from string stiffness?

    Triax doesn't fray on cross? It did on mine

    gut/poly is so much more arm friendly for me, so I thought…

    Keep switching frames

    What level are you? I suggest going with the racquet that supports your weapon. If your forehand is your weapon, you can go inside forehands to cover your backhand's weaker side. When demoing new racquets it's important to listen to what your partner feels when receiving your shots. Even if it...

    Best grips to prevent blisters?

    I don't think any grip will prevent from blisters. Blisters are caused by the friction of your hand and the grip. Putting a sports tape on your hand will prevent from blister. However, for tennis it is good to make your blister into solid callous.
