Synthetic Gut Question

[WhereIsMacMac]

I'm 100% in agreement. I've been dallying with synthetic gut of late and it's like I've come full circle. At one point, whilst in the middle of my poly use, I even thought I couldn't use syn gut.

If you're looking for a comfortable, spin friendly, and inexpensive string, look no further than syn gut. If you need to balance control/power, simply find a tension that gives you the blend you're looking for. For me, that was 60 pounds in a Wilson six.one 16X18 (although I may go up/down as time goes by).

At around $3.00/string, you'd be hard pressed to find anything at that price.

Yeah, I'm not a string breaker as well so synthetic gut would work for me

Plus its so cheap I can get my racquets re strung more frequently than my usual setup

QUESTION:

If I'm previously stringing my racquet at 48 (poly mains) and 52 (multi crosses), what should be my full be synthetic gut tension?

I 'd go with 53 (mains) 51-52 (crosses) prestretched for a starting point.

It should be what you feel is best once you try the strings you've been asking about, find a starting tension (start low to mid 50s), and you try up or down depending on the feel you want.

As I've noted, some of these string are soft and move more, and others play more crisp. I don't know what type of feel out of those two and a range between the two that you prefer.

I like the more crisp feel. I also like to add spin to my ball.

Better tension maintenance; otherwise it might feel too mushy with that low fifties tension.

So pre stretch both mains and crosses?

I do this whenever I string with SG. Do try both approaches, pre-stretched and stretched, my thinking is that someone who comes from polys and hybrids with polys will be better off with pre-stretching their SG. If you have always been playing multis and SGs, maybe there is no need.
