tecnifibre synthetic gut

[K1Y]

How did your experiments turn out with this string?

it's comfortable, but for sure a different sensation, feels less connected than poly. In a 18x20 blade I really like it, I would suggest trying it. In a 16x19 it felt too weird/different than what I was used to. I'm still stringing my 18x20 with SG which I play with for fun. In my speed mp 16x19 I like poly better and it suits my game style more (in my twenties, 4.0/4.5, topspin groundstrokes). My elbow healed and I play poly between 22-24 kg again, as long as I restring after 8 hours my arm is totally fine.
conclusion: sensation is different and powerlevel is different, but all in all it's perfectly fine, just not for me in open rackets.

Thanks. Did you try hybriding it with poly?

Not Bab SG specifically. I did try poly/SG before. I think this is the best setup for most intermediate players who hit flatter. You get alot more free power but spin potential suffers a bit. Not an issue if you hit flatter anyway.

I regularly use full beds of syn gut in my Prince Tour 100 sticks and much prefer Wilson Synthetic Gut Power over other brands. I find Bab Syn Gut moves around too much, Gosen OGSM too stiff in 16 and 17 gauges but fine in 18, Prince SGD too stiff in 16 but excellent in 17. Forten Sweet good in 17 and fair in 16.

Wilson Syn Gut Power 16 is as soft as most multis, holds tension reasonably well with the white color feeling a little firmer than the black and also moving slightly less.

A well priced syn gut which will not disappoint.

But what about Head synthetic gut?

I can't recall ever using Head Synthetic Gut but I've used Head PPS in 17 gauge and it is a nice playing string, just a little more expensive than the ones I mentioned above.

Gamma syn gut I've never been a fan of either as I found it to move around too much.

Technifibre Syn Gut crosses at 47lb

how is the power level and slipperiness of the TF synthetic gut compared to other synthetics in the same gauge?

IMO, power level is great at 47lb! As with all SG17s, it will move around in the mains and as a full bed at that tension. As crosses, it still notches into the mains and occasionally comes out of that notch. Easily pops back in. It's not slippery or greasy as VOLKL or Gamma SG. It's a bit textured when you look at it very closely, so it bites well and produces adequate spin. There's lots off ball fuzz sticking to it as it wears down. Will post a up a pic if I can remember.

Thanks for this.
Quick q - as I have two reels of Wilson Syn Guy Power 16, and I’d like to try it, what tension can you recommend FB for a 100 with 16x19 pattern (PA/VC100/Extreme MP etc.)? Thank you.

Tension preferences are such an individual choice it's difficult to make recommendations. As a guide, in my Prince Tour 100 with 18x20, I string full bed with the Wilson s/g at anywhere between 48-51. In the 16x18 version of the same stick, between 53-55.

These are both low powered, extremely flexible sticks where I'm looking for a little extra power.

I'd always recommend starting mid range and going from there. As Wilson syn gut Power is a multi like, soft, powerful string, a little above mid range for your frame may be your best starting point.

My go to string is the Angell Halo Multi and it is the low 50’s depending on the type of racquets.
The syn gut power is pink, so I am going to string it up this week and see.
