    Diadem Evolution

    Yes as discussed and written - this string in the BLACK color is known to break prematurely if you try to install it in mains. No one has said anything about the blue color.

    Diadem Evolution

    The premature breakage is with regards to the BLACK color. Josh from Diadem basically told me - this string is designed as a cross string. I bought a reel on Black Friday and wasted 5 sets or so stringing peoples racquets. Honestly - funny he stopped reaponding to my emails when I asked him...

    Diadem Evolution

    Sorry I know these posts were from a while ago - been string Evo 1.25 for a client and myself - lately it’s just been breaking at the throat constantly - sometimes after 3-4 hours of hitting, sometimes immediately after stringing - so frustrating - is this string even worth it with all this...

    Good Morning TWMAC. How goes it? I think I used to know a few random degenerate racquet and string junkies?

    So I finally had a chance to review the twig and let me first say that my opinions and experiences are just that, mine. The racquet was quick through the air and like no other radical I have yet to playtest.....(microgel, YT and IG) The sample I was provided had traditional grommets not...

    No1e's Racquet

    I will try to post a few pics of my h19's later and show how similar they "look" to Nole's racquet, string pattern, head shape, ect, weights are pretty close as well (I know that's not as big of a deal).... but yea like I said, a couple guys I know string for the Wilson stringing team and...

    No1e's Racquet

    Drak - did you string any H19's or h22's in Cincy? I have a pair of h19's in the 18 x 20 pattern and I've spoken with several guys on Wilson's tour stringing team - they tend to think that Novak is still indeed using the same h22 mold he used at wilson....according to them my h19's are wilsons...

    Strings for a beginner

    lightning xx, duraflex, hell even gosen, if he's only been playing 2-3 months, I really wouldnt stress too much, just have him restring every couple months depending on how much play, once he gets some consistency down then make some subtle changes and remember, try to change only ONE thing at a...

    TF 6000, Star 5, Baiardo, or Sensor?? And some tips.

    RW - All are nice machines in their own right, I agree with Drak about adding Wise because your current machine is terrific but I also understand upgrading to a more professional machine for ease and long term durability. I think the answer comes down to how many racquets you actually string...

    Wilson H19's ????

    Anyone care to chime in? How do they play? String setups you've tried? Feel? Customization?

    Prince 6000 Troubleshoot

    Yes- I used to have a back-up to my previous machine so I could still string (in daylight) when the power goes out, My street always seems to lose it first so the surge protectors have saved me tens of thousands in potential lost electronics over the years

    Pros and Cons of Wilson Baiardo and Babolat Star 5

    Drak is the whiz - he could probabl help you locate one for the right price - Wilson usually unloads there machines after tournaments are over with, I think it's their subtle way of getting more machines in to shops than simply waiting for shops to purchase at normal price levels...

    What's the benefit of using leather grip ?

    Yes it's an easy way to add some weight for customizing and IMO offers more traditional feel to frames
