Anyway, comparing Gut/poly to Kevlar is like comparing a Ferrari to a Honda.
it is enough to see Pierre Gasly winning a F1 Grand Prix some time ago at the wheel of a car .. with Honda engine! .. and Ferraris far, but behind ...
they are always wary of turtles, rabbits are not always faster ... the 24 hours du Mans .. it is not Italians or Germans who won the race, but a Japanese !.
I think a lot of times people have a hard time accepting new things. remember, when I was 12, I played with a Major Bullit ... and brought out the very first babolat rackets. my brother had one, and everyone was laughing at him back then, babolat couldn't make serious rackets ... a brand that "braids" beef intestines couldn't be able to make something so highly technological with carbon fibers, kevlar and other high-tech materials ...
I wonder if these people are still laughing today?
things are changing.
at one time i played with over 28 to 29kg in 90 frames .. at one time we played with poly / gut hybrids, then one st switched to gut / poly at 22/21 with 107 frame.
we should perhaps ask the question why do we use a poly in the crosses? I think we have to try.
I find that using a poly that dies after 4 hours is wasting natural gut that does not die. maybe we should find a rigid string, control, and which has superb tension stability .. like kevlar.
one will answer me, that kevlar locks the strings, yes, of course, you think that the tringsavers used by Sampra at the time locked the strings? or not? that prevented him from playing? or not?
things are changing. All the time. what used to be absurd yesterday is perhaps becoming the norm today.
I think some people are registered in obsolete concepts. and because they have known certain things think it will never change.
when I switched to FB poly, I once asked a 17/16 tournament stringer with a power poly mantis on a prestige youtek S, he looked at me with big eyes explaining to me that no one was playing with such low tension. that it was coming out, that it was unplayable.
Some me later, my brother who was a mulhouse stringer, knew well the stringer who strung Nishikori's racket at 18kg!
