Seems I've found the perfect string for APD users who want a string that last longer like a poly, but plays soft like a multi - Head FXP Tour. Currently, I have it strung at 58lbs. This string is really nice. Performs well too. Elbow doesn't hurt from this string. Loving this set up so far.

Enjoy playing with the new Aeropro Drive, but my elbow is starting to hurt some. I have it strung with Babolat Addiction at 59lbs. In all other racquets, multis do not hurt my arm. By other racquets I mean the Prestige Pro, Prestige S, and Wilson Blade 98. Is there a more flexible racquet...

Thanks Muppet. What exactly does shared holes mean, and why is it considered a negative?

Moppet and SpinToWin: Thanks for the info, but I'm really having a tough time choosing. Can't demo the IG version. But not chompin' at the bit to spend $400 on two brand new Graphene Prestige S racquets. Will do it though if it is really that different of a racquet. Couple more questions...

Graycrait, appreciate the reply. Just looked at the links you provided. I'm following your logic. And according to one of the articles the testers didn't really find much, if any, graphene. With that said, I don't really care about graphene or Innegra or any of that stuff. Honestly, I wish...

Was primarily wondering about the flex and if one felt more solid. I know as a 4.5 player I won't be able to tell the difference in materials. Just wondering between us "good-ole-amatuers", if there was a noticeable difference. The YIG version weighs a tad more is 1 pt head heavier and a 2...

Demo'ing the Graphene version, but want to buy the YIG version since the price is so good. Anybody played both? Pretty much the same racquet?

Just realized I responded to a post that was 7 years old. Anyone have some lightly used or new 4 3/8 (grip size 3) Microgel prestige pros they would like to sell? Currently I play the youtek ig version and they kill my arm, but I love the racquet! Heard these are better.

I would like to buy your grip size 3 Microgel prestige pros. Please contact me! :-)

Do you have a link to your customization link? Why did you switch? Is it possible to get some power out of the PS 95 by adding lead? I have lots of questions for you SpinToWin, my apologies! :-)

Thanks for the replies. I usually steer clear of any tension below 53. Way too much trampoline effect for me. I'm either not good enough to control the loose strings, or the heavy hitters I play just enjoy hitting off of that bouncy set up. Tour Bite SOFT 17G in other frames does not...

Thanks for the replies. May try the C10 Pro as well. I have heard the Classic Response may actually feel softer than its rating due to the all graphite construction. The Youtek Innegra junk Head uses has hurt many elbows from what I hear.

Am VERY interested in a true comparison of the IGPP and Response 97. Currently, I play the IGPP, but it hurts my arm. How is the Response 97? Anyone hit both?!

Crosses are 16G.

Mains: 17G Tour Bite Soft 54lbs Crosses: Prince Premier Control 56 lbs I play these strings in the Blade and have no pain at all. Thanks for the replies guys. More welcome!

Am only interested in the 16x19 string pattern. BUT... I heard the Microgel Prestige Pro is much more comfortable. Anyone know about this for sure?

Love the IGPP, but it hurts my elbow. Had a 3 week dating period with the Wilson Blade 98 18x20, but today returned to the IGPP. Had both the IGPP and the Blade strung with the same strings, to see which I liked better. Like the IGPP more, but after 30 min of hitting my elbow already hurt. I...

Usually play my favorite poly in 16G at 54lbs. If I want to try the same poly in a 17G, what tension should I try? I want to avoid too much power? I want the spin of the 17G, but the lower power of 16G. So maybe try the 17G at 56?

Thanks SpinToWin. I am getting th strings in today, so I'll play around with the tensions. Will be nice when I'm done throwing money away on strings and tension searching! EasterRocks, thanks for the reply. Sounds like you and SpinToWin agree to some point - lower is better. (I consider the...

Appreciate the suggestion, but I already experienced too much trampoline at 50lbs. Can't imagine what the 40 range would do - or is there a point where the lower tension actually has less rocket launching ability?

Am a little new to the 18x20 string pattern, as I use to play a 16x19. I would string my 16x19 YIPP at 53lbs with Tour Bite Soft 16G. Bought some demo Blade racquets (18x20) that came with NXT in them, and actually played really well with that string. NXT just breaks so fast. Am going to...

Appreciate all the replies everyone. Personally, I really don't want to start delving into lead tape. I have been down that road, and just prefer to pick up a stick in stock form and go play. I like the Prestige Pro a lot, but the head grip shape is annoying, and I want some more weight in...

Really do not want to wait. They have a lower stock swing weight, and I like the old paint job. Plus, my real reason, the 2013's are cheaper :-) Thanks tho!

Currently I play with the Prestige Pro, but am wanting to switch to a 2013 Blade 98. I like the Blade's balance much more, and the overall reduced weight seems easier to manage for the amount of tennis I play. Plus, I like the way the Blade racquet head can really produce a great groundstroke...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I must say my membership of the Extreme Pro 2.0 club was brief at best. Moving on to the Youtek IG Prestige Pro club. Great stick! Much less power, and hits a killer heavy ball. It wasn't my strings after all. I just need a control frame.

Wow, thanks for all the feedback! Everyone has great advice. jdubbs: If I am honest, I think ego does have something to do with it in my case. Also, more experience is a must. cll30: Creating a "winning scenario", like hitting out on the forehand, is a great idea as well. I am...

Hello all! So the title says it all - I get so nervous during a match I can barely move! Why?! I have read the books, Winning Ugly, The Inner Game of Tennis, and still can't shake it. I have great strokes, but not during a match. Tonight my hand was physically shaking while refilling my...

Thanks phanker. I read through the thread as you suggested and see many people playing tensions in the 40's and low 50's. It would be easier to really know what that means if all would list their level of play as well. I'm a USTA 4.0 player with some 4.5 hitting partners. Some of these guys...

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I'll stick with the Tour Bite Soft then. Currently using the 17g strung at 56. Going to just raise that to 60 or so. Maybe 60 on crosses and 58 on the mains. It's been playing way to "springy" at 56 and against bigger hitters the ball flies. Thankfully my arm...

I'm playing an Extreme Pro 2.0 with tour bite soft. I like this string but am wondering if there is a better poly out there. Don't want a gazillion choices, so how would these two compare? Thanks for the input.
