Hey guys, got a new DR100 coming from yonex after the frame snapped on a service return. (in the yoke!)
I have been playing for a while with Solinco Barb Wire 17 strung at the upper end of the recc. tension.
I play doubles, so my strokes are kind of flattish, no arm issues or the like.
Wanting to try gut. (My bro wont play with anything else other than full bed in his 115 Wilson, but he's a pretty darn good player)
Hoping for a consensus ....
full bed gut or gut/poly? (I can afford full bed)
IF poly, I assume in crosses, and a smooth string not something like Barb Wire. Any diff. using any old syn gut vs. mono poly or multi poly?
How bout tension? higher than before? lower than before? about the same?
Is prestretching the gut a myth or a requirement?
all opinions deeply appreciated!
