As mentioned in a previous post, I'm considering putting Natural Gut crosses in my POG mid with Luxilon Big Banger ALU Power 16L mains. Having never used natural gut before, please excuse my stupidity in this area. Can someone please help with a couple questions?
1) Will the durability of the natural gut be a problem since I'm only using it in the crosses?
2) How does natural gut "age" - ie: does it get grooves and then eventually snap or does it start to fray?
3) Would you suggest going with a 16g or 17g?
4) If I typically string my racquet at 57 pounds with an all Luxilon job, should I keep both the natural gut crosses and Luxilon mains at that same tension?
5) Can you really tell any difference between a $35 natural gut and a $22 natural gut string?
Thanks for all the help you can give to this natural gut newbie.
