When I see people talk about different strings and racquets I often wonder if I am missing something. I do feel like there is a difference but it's hard for me to tell what is "better". esp considering I'm not super consistent day to day anyway lol. I typically use full synthetic gut since it's the cheapest - and i dont hit with a lot of spin so sometimes it takes me a long time to break them so the strings are pretty old and loose. Sometimes I have a racquet w/ dead full poly on it and I just play with it for months lol. Sometimes I don't feel like stringing my racquet so I go to the thrift store and get a cheap old racquet for 5 bucks. I'm currently using a pro kennex composite dominator from 1980 and i dont know how old the synthetic gut strings on them even are lol. It seems like when I play a set the results are pretty consistent regardless of what racquet or string I'm using (i play w/ same ppl usually). How much of a difference do strings/racquet actually make?? For reference i'm 4.0.
another question - is it really objectively bad for your arm to play with old poly vs new poly strings? it's just so convenient to play w/ the same poly strings for an extended period of time lol
