Hi All, Wanted to reach out to the community if any one has noticed the same thing and/or has any interesting pieces of information regarding this.
Trying to save money I buy Wilson Natural Gut (40ft) and use half for my "Champion's Choice" setup with Luxilon Alu Power Rough but I noticed the...
Hi guys,
I play with the blade 98 /18/20 v8 and my current setup is usually full bed of nxt at 54 pounds. I found using my nxt at around 50ish pounds (when it started dropping) helped but I’m still having to really swing into the ball to get that plow I need, against heavy hitters. I’m looking...
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...
I had Luxilon 4G on main and Gut on cross strung at 52/52lbs about two months ago, I played roughly 2-3 times a week. I just notice that the gut on cross started to fray badly and the main string moving around like way too much. Say like if i want to keep the main string looks tidy i would have...
Hello TTW peeps,
I recently moved to natural gut / poly hybrid from using full poly or poly/ZX and I have some questions regarding the ball pocketing, or lack of ball pocketing from my latest two racquets strung up with the following nat/poly hybrids:
Clash 100 Tour
Klip Legend 16g uncoated...
Hi folks. I recently strung a new Yonex VCore 98 with NG (Babolat VS black) in the mains @23kg and Tier One Ghost Wire 1.22 in the crosses @23. My usual poly set up is between 20-22kg...depending. I did a light pre-stretch of the VS before stringing by hand. I use a constant pull maching (Gamma...
So I just ordered this stick from Wilson Pro Labs. UPS should be delivering it today. As soon as it arrives, I'm taking it to my stringer and putting on a full bed of 17g Babolat Gut, string savers, a tan Wilson leather grip and just for the nostalgia, some power pads. How many of you guys and...
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...
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...
I'm seriously considering trying natural gut again as the last time was when I was about 12 years old. I have no memory of the feel.
The natural gut I would get is Babolat VS Touch 1.25 (which is apparently VS Team?) and get it strung on the mains in one of my VCORE 95 rackets. I usually have...
I play with full poly but curious as to speed gains on serves and strokes if i hybrid with natural gut. Say I max my serve at 96mph with full poly, what could I possibly max at if I hybrid with natural gut?
Went to my regular stringer that day and he had only 3 packets of babolat vs team left, he said babolat is working to distribute new natural gut strings.
Has anyone heard of this new development as well?
and if so,what are the new strings gonna be like?
Cheers
I currently have a babolat pure aero 2018 and looking to change my old string because its dead. I am looking at hybrids because I want a string that have good tension maintance, power, control and spin. For the main I might go for babolat VS nat gut but for the cross im not sure because luxilon...
Hello, dear fellow tennis players and fans of ther sport! I am new to the forum but I follow it since long time ago! Nice to meet Ya!
I ve decided to star posting here, because I haven't found a thread about the strings I am intending to use.

I wanted to switch from my 90 BLX to a larger head size and I was wondering if this setup would be good:
Racket: Wilson Prostaff 97 Autograph
String: Full Bed KLIP Legend 16
Tension: 60lbs
Overgrip: Yonex Super Grap
I actually want to try the high power that comes from a full gut, if it's too...
I am looking for a Smooth/Round Poly or Co Poly to cross with Natural Gut being in mains.
The biggest factors I'm looking for is Play Duration, Durability, Control, Spin. More or less in that order. There are a few that I have researched that seem to fit the bill:
Tourna Black Zone
Lux 4G...
Hi folks, I tried searching > sorry if this has been asked & answered but just wondering > if I have cheap, 16 gauge Natural Gut on the Mains @ ~52 lbs, and 1.2mm gauge, smooth/soft (co)Poly on Cross @ ~48 lbs, do you know for how long, or how many hours, I can play without having to re-string...
I am looking to get some Babolat Matural Gut strong for Christmas. I am debating between the Babolat VS Team Natural Gut 17 1.25 & 16 (130). Just wondering if there is a big difference between the two? I’m looking more for control. Thanks for your help!
Hi all,
Has anyone ever used this in any gauge:

Hybrid set by Klip consisting of Natural Gut and their own Poly.
I currently use Klip Legend Natural Gut 16 mains and Alu Power Rough 16 crosses and absolutely love it. I just noticed Klip have their...
Hi all. After trolling this forum for so long I have been finally convinced to try some natural gut.
Currently playing with a full bed of x-one biphase 17g at 52lbs with a 2015 PS97 and I have found a good deal for 17g klip legend Nat gut and wondering how much higher should I get the tension...
I am a high school tennis player and started last May and played on varsity doubles for my school (probably somewhere around 3.0). I use a | Prince Tour Pro 98 18x20 | that weighs around 330 grams strung overgrip and everything. I was thinking about switching to a cheap natural gut like tonic or...
Do the mains and the crosses have equal bounce?
Based on TW customer reviews I have strung two racquets with gut mains and nylon crosses at 2 lbs higher tension. The Blade 104 racquets are weighted to about 331 gm.

Hi
Looking for some advice
I picked up a mint 1993 original Agassi Head Radical Tour OS recently and want to string it with a hybrid set of vs touch black 16 mains and rpm blast 17 crosses.
The original manufacturer's recommendation is 65lbs plus which seems high by modern standards. Am...
