... I play with the Luxilon Big Banger Alu Fluoro (54 pound tension) ... because of wrist and elbow problems, my stringer suggested that I play with this string (supposedly the softest / most forgiving of the Luxilon strings) ... anyway, playing today I noticed that when stroking the ball, the ball seemed to "linger" a milisecond longer on my racket face ... definitely felt like the ball was "sticking" more to my racket ... was a nice feeling ... felt like I was able to control the ball a little better ... I especially noticed this sensation on my one hand slice backhand and on my second serve (... a kicker) ... to a lesser exent, on my volleys ... did not notice this sticky sensation on my forehand ... is this one way to tell when your strings are "dead" (i.e. lose that sticky / control sensation on my shots) ... thanks in advance for your comments ...
