Up&comer
Hall of Fame
Alright, so I've tried out several new setups in the past month or two, and figured I'd share them.
Stringing machine- gamma 6900 els 2 point (electric constant pull)
Stringer- Me
Racket- Aeropro Drive GT
Whatever dampener I have laying around
Bare handle with two tournagrips
All multis/guts/synthetics will be 16 gauge, and all polys will be 17 gauge. (occasional exceptions if not offered in those gauges)
Softness will be compared to all other strings. This will not just be multi to multi or poly to poly. Also, do not quote me on softness. It will be what I felt when I hit with it, so it can vary. I will try to be as accurate as possible. It's also tough to really scale it on 1-10. Just some references, Mantis comfort synthetic would be about a 2, most multis are about a 3-3.5, synthetics are around 4-5, and polys generally fill out the rest of the scale. Something like big banger original or babolat revenge would be about 9 or 9.5, kevlar would be a 10, and some of the softer co polys would be 7-8.
Durability is by string type.
A few things first. I normally play on a medium paced hard court.
Playing syle- I have a pretty aggressive forehand. It's my more offensive shot, but it's also my more inconsistent. My backhand (2 handed) is more of a flat stroke, but it's becoming more offensive as I work on it. It is still mostly a rally shot I move around the court pretty well. My serve is mostly a hard kick, but I mix in flat and slice serves. I serve by hitting spots more than overpowering. I enjoy serving and volleying, but I need to work on my groundies more. My net game is my strong suit.
Without further ado...
