I have to try Nat Gut sometime. Currently using Volkyl Cyclone in the mains and Wilson NXT in the crosses.


Watched that Head bag video for a while now. Still debating on pulling the trigger.

Fred ~ Stan The Man Lleyton!  Nice... I should do more string demos...

Does gut/poly feel noticeably different from poly/gut?

I don't exactly understand your question. I do know that switching from full bed poly to the hybrid of natural gut and poly is such a pleasure to hit with. I'm a control freak, so I string straight down the middle as far tension. I might bump it up a pound or 1.5 depending on our hot humid summers. The spin effect is awesome. The thing I noticed with my full bed Lux G setup was after a 6-8 week, playing 3-4 times a week for 2 hour sessions, the tension held but playability decreased dramtically.

^ I meant the difference between having gut in the mains/poly in the crosses... and having poly in the mains/gut in the crosses.  

I suppose the most obvious effect of having poly in the mains is more bite for spin.  

Damn... 2hrs for 3-4 times a week!  Quite a bit of tennis there... in toasty TX!

Who's buying one?  

I hope I don't start seeing a bunch of these from the novice-fanboys at the local courts... Unless they get the Lite version, I suppose.

 

 

[abracadabra]

Did you end up buying that pro staff sinner?

 

[Sinner]

Haha... no... saving my $$$ for other stuff...

USO 2014 haul. Peak Nike time for me.

hmm, on a discount. Geoff at TW has stated that this racket is as close to H22 sample he got last March AND the one RF is wielding!

Very nice Reese!

P, I couldn't tell you difference between the placement of the hybrid combo because this is my first time doing it. Gut are on the mains and Poly on the crosses.

Doesn't/didn't Milos use an H22?  So Fed is basically using an H22?

I haven't really been following the PE/PJ's... lol.

Anyway... I don't play for a month and my arm is jelly right now after an hour.  I should probably de-lead.

 

[t21d]

^apparently, I don't keep up with the technical part of rackets.

 

[The_Isomotion31]

Can't do it. The specs are out of my range. Waiting to see others with it on the courts though. Hopefully from someone I know so I can give it a shot.

Sticking with my Head Youtek IG Rad pros. Hoping to find more steals on it. Currently have 2 sticks. Looking to add a third.

 

[Sinner]

Yeah, it's something that I'd like to try, but would never buy.  

There's a lighter-option if you really  like the PJ, wanna switch to Wilson and/or "play with what Fed plays with"... 

 

EDIT ~ 

Have I posted this before? 

Incidentally, the Chinese characters say "Eat, Sleep, Play Tennis"... 

 

 

[Sinner]

Great to see Rafa back...

 

[Sinner]

This is interesting... the LunarB takedown...

Ballistic Advantage... 

In the right colorway, it doesn't look too bad.

Also new 9.5 c/w... that we've already seen.

 

 

[The_Isomotion31]

Give me

 

[gusgrand]

Those Ballistic Advantage's are very nice and I can imagine them in black and red looking very nice but, they have GDR soles, so they just wont last long at all......it's a real shame that!

Those "dolphins" ballistecs are lookin nice

 

[The_Isomotion31]

Says outsole is backed with a 6 mos warranty. Waiting for a review. retail looks to be $95. I'm all over it....well as soon as I need a new pair. probably a month or so.

 

[Sinner]

I like that they kinda look like indoor soccer/footy shoes... 

Also...

Hyper Crimson... for the WTF's perhaps?

[The_Isomotion31]

Those are pretty fresh. Especially if the SF Giants win it all.
