Nice eh? I just broke them today thank god. I was so happy when I did. Now to string 'em up with big ace red. Will post pics when done, today or tomorrow. Jolly, you tried Pro Supex Big Ace yet?
Haven't tried BA, nor do I plan to.
ALU or bust.
(or more appropriately ALU and Bust)
P.S. shearing due to mishits doesn't count there Sir Shanksalot

I know, I know, but hey, it don't matter because they broke. So no problems!
You know Karma is gonna get me for bustin on you, and I will probably shear a set tomorrow.
Let me tempt fate a little more and say that I have never in my life sheared a string using the N or K 90.

Well, Jolly, what would you say about a HS player on my team who breaks Big Ace in under 10 hours? I am looking to get something more durable for him. What do you suggest?
Is he already using the thickest ga. the 1.28?

j011y if u used gut how quick would u break it 5 seconds?Then you could try going to a stiffer string, but there is no guarantee that he would like it.
I mean, once you get to a certain level of ballstriking, and consistency, nothing is really going to last.
I mean no string on the planet would last me 10 hours, so I just use what I like, and pay the price.
I would have him try something like big banger orig, and see how long that lasts him, and how he likes it.
I really don't know much about the cheapo polys so you maybe better off asking someone like NickB, if that is the direction you are looking to go.

He said he broke gut in 25 minutes.
Last time I strung up a set of VS I broke it in 25mins of casual deep consistient baseline rallying, no hard hitting or heavy topspin.
Posted picture above.

sorry i thought that was murray manics...Page before this maybe?
I hope to get some dartfish analysis the end of next week.
If that works out I will share it.

that is pretty sad init to take pics of broken strings
I've heard hitting off center can really take its toll on natural gut.Last time I strung up a set of VS I broke it in 25mins of casual deep consistient baseline rallying, no hard hitting or heavy topspin.

Question: Not bashing anybody here...How come pros can use the same racket for the entire match and not break string? Federer uses natural gut too, don't he?
Pros don't use one single racquet the entire match. They usually have several in their bags and will generally switch out with every ball change. So they actually only play with a racquet for about 7-8 games.
haha good one
I've heard hitting baseballs is hard on string.
Was that cause you cant tie a decent knot?
Geez no need to jump on his back when you don't know all the facts.
dammmmmmittt!!!! if only i didn't cut out my strings i somehow broke the kevlar main in my ashway crossfire 18
hahaha nice.
did you try playing with it?
haha thanks. its ok tho. ive already noticed that people on these message boards are either or :-x
No prob...hows the progression I working for you? I remember your thread back in the day when you were comtemplating it. I have the same machine.I love it, but my only complaint is that my clamps are getting old and the bases are a pain at times.
you would be dumb to post in this as you should cut your strings out straight away!
