300g with gut

[ty slothrop]

has anybody tried it? i have one that I fool around with (my regular racket is the rok "93 strung with gut mains and bb ace crosses) and was curious to know if the added feel made the racket play better. my 300g is loaded up to around 12 oz, which is a nice weight, but that much lead takes away some feel.

just curious to hear anyone's results.

I've played with a stock 300G with gut, and didn't think it added that much performance to the frame, mostly because the frame is just too light.

My doubles partner has recently switched to the 300g (from the 200g). i customized it for him by adding about an ounce of lead (total) to the 3 and 9 oclock positions - and some to the handle (to keep the balance the same). He really liked it when we first strung it up with a Monogut/syngut hybrid. That combo, however ended up causing some elbow pain. I then talked him into trying a Monogut mains/Bow Nat gut cross combo. He absolutely loved the feel/performance - and his elbow pain went away.

I have hit with that racquet - and if my racquet did not exist - that would be my set up.
