Thanks Jonolau for your feedback. I will try to smuggle out a case or two from the cellar for next club AGM. Not sure how well it will travel to Singapore though. Fine wine and Tropical climates do not mix!
Looking at different string combos now. Play mainly doubles so need to volley a lot. Read favourable reviews of Supex BA on here and was wondering how it volleys? Would I be better of trying their Multi or maybe a hybrid of the 2?Suck it and see I guess. Never used a Poly before. You recommend mid tension on the M-fil as a start point?
When it comes to strings, feel is a very subjective thing. To be fair, all strings would allow you to volley well. It is usually technique that let's us down. As the saying goes, "A good workman never blames his tools."
Therefore, if you like a soft, comfortable feeling, then gut, multi or synthetic gut is the way to go. If you like a little more confidence on flat, hard and fast baselines (ie. hitting the ball as if there's no tomorrow), then full poly will help mask some of that brute force. If you're not sure, but want less string movement in the stringbed, then a hybrid of poly mains and nat gut/syn gut crosses is the middle road worth walking.
Spot on about tension. Start off with mid.
Hope this helps.
