Anyone else find that this racquet just destroys strings (as well as balls)? I’m not a string breaker but Velocity MLT snapped within an hour and a half. And polys go dead with about 2 hours of play. And these are polys known for their good tension maintenance—confidential and tour m8. Maybe the problem is the extra high swing weight of my particular stick which came in at 304 unstrung coupled with the heavy static weight and very open string pattern. Going up in gauge is a problem as well given the high SW. may need to buy a couple more and hope they come in at a more normal SW. Aside from this one issue I am loving this stick…and my percepts are feeling neglected.
VCT is more open than the Percepts. This is gonna lead to more breakage.
Would definitely experiment with higher gauges
