I decided on a Volkl C10 Pro as my new "Arm Friendly" racquet.
Conventional wisdom would say for ultimate arm friendliness go with all natural gut. But I've always found an all gut setup too springy for my abilities.
So, if I went with a hybrid setup (ntural gut on mains and poly on crosses), I'm wondering how much softness I'd loose. My sense is that it'd solve my control issues and from demo'ing (too) many racquets, I sense it's the C10 frame that makes the difference for my problem wrist (head light, higher swing weight, flexible) and not the strings, but I've never tried poly and don't want to risk a setback.
As always, any advice appreciated,
Jon
