So at the beginning of this year (2010), I strung up my kblade with VS gut 16 on mains and alu rough crosses. (essentially Federer's setup). I played it for a while, and my wrist started to feel some pain. I have never had any problems with my wrist before that. That pain lasted until my strings broke (2 months, blasting flat shots, no topspin haha). After they broke, I strung up with black code mains and x-1 crosses, an obviously stiffer setup. then the pain INSTANTLY disappeared.
So after that, I used black code hybrids and full tour bite setups. No problem at all. Then I started using k90. I started out with full solinco tour bite, and then x-1 biphase 17 and alu rough cross hybrid. It was all good until last week, when I got my racket restrung, I strung up with x-1 biphase 16 and alu rough cross. suddenly, my wrist pain reappeared after ONE hitting session.
So to sum up, before my first wrist injury, I used full alu power, full poly setups. Once I got the natural gut hybrid, with gut IN THE MAINS, my wrist started hurting. So I switched setups, to an even stiffer setup, and my wrist was fine. Then I come back to a soft 16g main and alu rough cross, and my wrist hurts again.
Is it because I'm using 16g strings on the mains???? It doesn't make any sense!
