Best string for my blade: 4gL or Big hitter silver 7 tour

[Deleted member 768841]

Hi guys, I want to know which string will be better for my blade 18/20 v7. I am judging my choice based off of these factors:

1. which is more comfortable

2. which has better tension maintenance

3. Which one has better spin

Thank you!

While it may be more expensive, natural gut is holds its tension extremely well, it loses about 5% of its tension in the first 24 hours after stringing but then doesnt lose any for the rest of its lifetime, you just play until strings break. It also offers very good spin and control, its also quite possibly the most comfortable string. I would use it every time but just cant afford to cut out 40 dollars worth of nat gut when i need new strings. Ive used babolat touch vs and loved it. USually u can get 50+ hours of play before they break. The string I use currently is solinco hyper-g, simply because i feel like its a spin monster. Hope this helps.

Hey, thank you for the response. Do you know which natural gut string would be best for control, spin and durability? If not spin, just control and durability? Thank you.

Like i said, I personally like the babolat touch VS, but have also heard luxilon has good nat gut as well. For the spin potential, you could always get a smaller gauge (ex 18g instead of 16g), but the problem with this is that the thinner the string the less durability, its just a trade off.

Thank you, I will be looking at the touch VS, good idea!
