Was curious about something.
I had been buying Tonic+ and using it for a full natural gut job. But recently I had the idea of just having the stringer (at a golf/tennis store with a reputable stringer, not an outlet sporting goods store) just string half of the package in the mains and Gosen OG Sheep in the crosses, to save some money.
It seemed cheaper doing it this way, then buying a half set of Wilson or VS, since those are $18 and a full set of Tonic+ is $25. (you save $5-6 per stringing)
However this time the stringer mentioned that something happened while he was stringing the mains so he wasnt able to save the other half of the string.
Do you think this is pretty rare that this might happen, or am I better off just stringing full gut (if my only consideration is price, I play fine with all natural gut).
Obviously if I have to use a full package for just the mains, it's costing me more (the cost of the Gosen), not less, or then I really possibly could of saved money by getting a half set. (although I dont understand if you have an issue with the full set, it seems that odds are you may do it with the half set as well, unless there is some issue I am not aware of)
