Read too quickly...lol. I assumed it was string, the usual for you. You have achieved racquet level now, impressive.

How did you do this short of hitting the court or the net post?

Defective racquet.

Defective racquet.

I think the early K90s were either defective or just very fragile. I broke several at about 4-5 or 7-8 O'clock on the head in 2 years. I never hit my racquets against the court or anything.

I did that on a few Yonex back in the 80s & 90s. Framed overheads...they were notorious for shearing in the throat. I think the was the R-50 and both of the Cyborgs.

Any recommendations for a poly setup on the Gravity Pro. I have tried several : YPTP 120 (my baseline string, was good but didn't feel as good as in my previous Vcore 95s), Hyper-G 17 (controlled, but a bit uncomfortable and felt underpowered), Mayami Hit Pro (great feel, not so much spin, very short playability), Mayami Hepta Power (overall a more comfortable and powerful Hyper-G that reminded me of Cyclone, but has sort of a hollowness not good on touch/volleys), and Signum Pro Firestorm 125 (powerful, good feel, interesting for now but not yet sure about playability/tension maintenance and missing some bite on topspin OHBH). Overall I realize I tend to prefer the feel of round polys but miss the bite that makes the ball drop back in court most of the time. Maybe I should go toward a poly poly hybrid? What do you guys think? Thanks!

I considered trying it but shied away from it since I found Hyper-G a little to stiff for my arm and that Lynx Tour was considered stiffer.

regular head lynx, 1.20. Powerful, round and alot more spin. Similar to ptp.

Lynx tour plays softer than hyper g / confidential but you still need sth with more free power than lynx tour. Normal Lynx1.20 will match it perfectly with its elastic power….. and 18x20 will keep it more to maintain its tension an area that it lacks as a string.

My go to setup prior to the GPro was a poly poly hybrid, Lynx Tour/PTP 1.25. I liked it because it added a bit more consistency and softness to the controlled spin from the Lynx Tour mains without compromising the feel too much. It works quite decently in the GPro, but I'm experimenting with different crosses now that the PTP reel is running low. Lynx Touch as a cross has left a very good first impression, while Element.....less so. Still want to try Razor Code and maybe Hawk Power when it lands.

Additional thought: I found the Gravity Pro loves low tensions. I used to play at 54 pounds on my old Ezone 98, whereas now I string at about 46, and could realistically drop it further. Hell, when I got it, it had old demo strings that had to be about 30 pounds or so, and it wasn't the worst experience.

Thanks for your input. I'll be trying Tour Hex/PTP 1.25 next to see how a poly poly hybrid feels for me. I do really like a full bed of Firestorm 1.25 also. I'm also looking forward to trying Hawk Power. I did go from 52 to 48 pounds recently, both worked well.

Once you play with the element soft it sucks a little less.

This and eco felt pretty meh to me. At least element soft is better than the green vintage vomit

It’s making the rounds on YouTube channels it seems hadn’t heard of it until someone linked a video and saw one thread

Have you ever tried Element in a Hybrid set-up? If so, with what and how was it? I'm running a full bed of Element in my Pure Drive right now. Thinking about trying a hybrid of Element/Natural Gut.

Element and ng is too soft, I did Element and alu both ways, neither was as good as either alone. I have a girl who loves Element but breaks it too fast so I gave her grey fire mains.

[SupahMan5000]

You are really really working hard promoting this string last couple of days.

It’s one of those brands. The ppl that love it will sing its praises

 

[raftervolley]

I don’t want them to go out of business. They are a small company that only sells one string. We have to pump them up and get the word out.

Tour Status w/Element Rough crosses has been my favorite string setup I've tried in the last year.
