Luxilon Gut or Babolat VS Gut

[10iss_Nut]

I tried Luxilon Gut and was not thrilled. It seemed to lack power and feel. Almost feels like a gut/poly hybrid. Before I spend more money experimenting has anyone had similar experience with Luxilon's new gut? LMK! Thanks!

I was part of the TW playtest almost a year ago (see here), and felt it was a tad stiff at first, but after a set or so it settled in nicely. Admittedly I was using it in a gut/poly hybrid, so maybe I didn't notice the lack of power & feel as much as you did. However, for the price I'd spend the extra $2 and get Pacific Tough Gut. Or, if you're looking to save a few $, Pacific Classic.

Babolat VS is not what it used to be since the addition of 'Bluetooth' (saw someone else call it that & found it funny), and I've not much experience w/ the new Wilson.

*sigh* Bow Brand, how I miss you...

currently waiting for my Babolat Vs Touch to break. not a fan of it. for me it makes me miss my luxilon element. it just seemed like a slightly more powerful version of the lux element.
(rec player tho) i prob don't understand strings enough too appreciate them but thats just my opinion.

That was me, I don't know why any strings, natural gut especially would need to be bluetooth enabled. Poly's maybe since it's synthetic and there's always a new "molecular structure" on the market.

Wilson and Luxilon are virtually interchangeable, but I have experienced a bit of a durability issues with both. Tried and true natural guts that's been on the market for a while now (Your Pacific's, Babolat, and even Klip's) have given me close to 15-20 hours of playing. Wilson and Luxilon, at least the two packs that I've tried barely lasted past the 10th hour mark.

Babolat's Bluetooth Gut has only marginally slightly better playability than the less expensive Klip Legend, but at a much higher price point. However, Babolat Bluetooth is readily available. Klip Legend surfaces like the Loch Ness Monster.

LOL....
Bluetooth 7...like it...
Really thou:
Babolat's sell: BT7 technology which is a new layering structure(AKA coating - copolyx ) , increasing durability by 15%.

I do have some copolys that are WIFI (802.11 ac), it is so nice to stream music as I play. I have a little speaker under my butt cap. So my butt sings...
