So I'm confused about something. As I talk to new clients I'm finding a fair number of people playing with poly strings that in my opinion really shouldn't be. And they are using them on the recommendation of their previous stringers. And I'm talking about a tennis shop owner, a tennis club owner, and a tennis coach. Not some random guy with a drop weight machine. These players range from a beginner guy to 3.5-4.0 level women. None of which have long fast strokes. Short compact strokes, flat, and pretty rough technique.
Latest was a new teammate on my mixed team. Her previous stringer was a club owner. She's the type that doesn't know what she's using and just tells the guy to put whatever he recommends in her racquet. She uses one of the big ole feather light Head Ti.S6 and had a full bed of poly. Now I don't personally use poly (though I will be experimenting with it in the near future) but am I correct in assuming poly is really for higher level players with longer fast strokes and sound technique? Or could there be a good reason all these supposed experts are putting poly in these people's racquets?
