    Gut crosses notching super early in Poly/Gut hybrid

    Hi, I tried both a gut/poly and poly/gut hybrid for the first time, and after a few weeks, i preferred the characteristics of the poly mains, however there was insane notching after just a few hours. The poly was basically drilled far into the gut, and really decreased the spin potential. On...

    Wet/damp Weather alternative to Wilson Champions Choice

    Hi All, I currently use the Wilson Champions choice hybrid and I am loving it. However, I am reluctant to play with it when it is raining or when it is damp as I’ve heard natural gut will easily break if it is exposed to water. Is the any alternatives to Wilson Champion’s choice that can be...

    Luxilon 4G soft better in a hybrid or full bed?

    I played for many years with NG mains /Alu power crosses. Love it for its power, feel and spin....control was there but for me the “perfect” balance between all this aspects never lasted long, making me restring very often and I always needed to have at least one or two fresh string rackets...
