i dont think he's really using a mg prestige pro. i thought he was still using his radical with a pj of a mg radical.

Well by looking at the strings in the photo it looks like to me Murray has Luxilon in the mains and Gut in the crosses.

Mains Luxilon Alu Power 1.25 /Natural Gut crosses 1.25 tension was 57/57lbs at the 2008 Pacfic Life Open.

yet another site says BDE natural gut @ 61-62. Must be BDE. Are u sure 57 is correct? Maybe I didn't need to post this thread w/ the results Im finding

1.25mm is the gauge of string which Luxilon calls it 16L gauge . The gut I would think Babolat VS Gut 1.25mm gauge which Babolat calls 17 gauge.

Well you know most players change tension based on court surface and conditions. What I posted is what P1 gave to the USRSA that Murray was using at the 2008 Pacific Life Open.

At Wimby 2005 I did 1 rqt for him @ 61lbs and 1 @ 62lbs. Strings were ALU power & BDE gut. This was on his "i.radical". Obviously players change string tensions depending on tournaments & conditions, and as Andy appears to have changed rqts then that will also have an effect on what tension he uses. I also believe he uses Priority 1 for his stringing and I think he changed to VS gut when he went to them.
