Whole bed of Alu Power 15

[brick474747]

Hi guys I'm a big hitter that hits fairly flat. Obviously big back swing and I don't like approaching the net to often. Would a whole bed of Alu power 1.38 (15 guage) work? Tension M-58 C-56

P.S this won't be too stiff for me as I've played with 4g before + no arm problems

Are you breaking strings often?
If not, why wanting such a thick string?

I have two rackets i switch between so they don't snap too often, thought i might like the added control. Would you say the comfort/power of 16 is better?

Man I went with Alu 16L in my blade v8...This string does nothing for me. Back to head lynx tour for me, and I get to pocked a 50% savings in cost.

I've tried both strings and prefer Alu by a long shot for my game personally, thanks though.

you should play alu 125 not 138 if you're not snapping them fast..
You should break them before they go dead!

15g would probably suit you fine. I would drop the tension a couple of pounds as you go thicker though. Plus, it will probably take a little off your serve too, in terms of spin. You might like it better though. I put 15 (1.40) natural gut in a guy's hybrid once and he said he liked the control better. Hard to get 15g natural gut though.

Thanks that was i assumed. It will just stop me from overhitting as much

funny that nobody here asked you what racquet you are using

yeah true lol. Pure strike 100 (300g 100sqinch )

I love thicker strings.. the feel. I am not a string breaker
