when i string racquets we go by kilos, so ur 54 and 17 doesn't mean anything to me :p nevertheless i string them at 25 kilos and together with flexpoint i enjoy it alot, i suppose that youtek will be more stiff than flexpoint though so maybe i'll have to change either strings or lowering the tension

have you ever tried diff strings on the verticals and the horizontals? Or have you tried a natural gut string ever? I've always been intrigued by it but I don't want to spend money and go out of my comfort zone :P

yea i usually blend it when i use a poly, i'll just put the poly in mains and syntheic gut in crosses but it depends on you, i prefer a full bed of syntheic gut


natural gut one of my coachs tried the babolat one and said it felt amazing best feels ever but loses tension quick

if you can afford it give it a try

Are racquets expensive? I find tennis boring to watch considering its a sport


Then find your way out....

Imo I like wilson, I have Fed wilson rackets from last year I plan on getting the BLX ones on 2011
