Hi. i have been playing tennis since the early eighties..., and my string choices back then were: 1. Natural Gut - when my parents were paying for the string job, 2. Prince Synthetic Gut 16G - when I had to pay for it, and lastly, 3. Prince ProBlend - when I was playing High School Tennis and needed the strings to last, and I had to pay for the string.
Presently, I don't have a clue when people talk about full poly, hybrid, multi-filament, or whatever...
Could someone briefly explain the various string types with their strengths and weaknesses.
I have the APD 2013 version and just purchased the 99S. I didn't think much, and since both are string breakers (*more so with the 99s), I thought it would save me some bucks by buying a reel of the 16G synthetic gut. However, a long time forum member who has posted many helpful infos said that those racquets need full poly. I just don't know how they are different. Hopefully someone could explain it in a simple form.
Thank you in advance.
