APDC ar.. i've tried the luxilon alu rough on it.. (too stiff.. arm like falling off).. also tried the Pro Hurricane Tour 17. Though it's also a stiff string but i find that to be okay. i mean if u wanna to have the fullsetup of the "supposedly" nadal's combination.haha... I even tried the duralast strings (his real strings also).

However my last test on it was the Blackcode. and recommended it to carto. he is happy using it now with the added spin. Coz it's soft poly and doesn't hurt your arm as bad as those 2 other stiffer ones above. I would say give it a go since the APDC is renowned for it's spin potential so when coupled with another strong spin strings... go figure ..

hey bro .. u want some big ace also ? i got a few here sharing with me.. i just contacted the seller and he needs to check whether he still got stock or not coz i'm ordering blue gear and big ace red. haven't heard back fr him yet.

well it's true cyberblue is one of the softest poly i've played with .... must agree with u it's so soft n easy u dun feel it's poly at all...haha. the other is the blackcode. one wud think an edgy string wud b hard like pro hurricane, luxilon, .. but surprisingly it's v soft... but tension holding is another issue..

anyways my latest setup i tried pre-stretching them first to c how's the tension maintenance.

ok basically is more like a feel lah .. first hitting and subsequent sessions.. some strings you strung need to like hit a few sessions for the string to come alive. Anyways very subjective lah this matter.

As for string tension device. Well Pacific has one machine imported from Germany. It can test the string bed tension. However mind you, normally when we string our racq the string tension we set is for the pulling tension of the string. But there is no way to recheck the individual string tension, this machine just gives you a reading of the overall string bed tension. so reading might differs from the tension you set. I sometimes go there go just main main with the machine

ok will let u know once i hear back fr the seller... he is v slow actually ... shucks

well few methods to do it but now the easiest n modern way of executing it is via the stringing machine itself (such as the Prince 5000 - has a prestretching function whereby you can set the percentage from the tension you want it to hold). For e.g. say i want to set my tension at 55lbs. But wish to pre-stretch the string 10%. so the machiine will pulll each individual string cross & mains at 60lbs below adjusting it back to 50lbs for the clamps to come in.

correct me if i'm wrong, but from what i understand is prestretching you don't set it lower than what you normally want. the whole idea of doing that is to that your string will hold the tension longer (e.g. 55lbs). as after prestretching at a higher tension, the ability for the string to stretch has been greatly reduced. thus it will stay at 55lbs longer.

hey bro .. undies ar ? tsk tsk tsk ... too much .. lolx

so u coming this thursday or friday june ? lelucky is coming over, why don't you drop by ? or anybody for that matter

actually you may be right.. what i felt was after the pre-stretching at 55lbs, the string doesn't feel as lively as it was via the normal non-stretching way. Or maybe it's also the sign that actually the playing tension that i prefer is actually lower than 55lbs as the normal un-stretch way probably the tension at 55lbs after a few hits is 52lbs or so. So meaning pre-stretching it... i shud hav set the tension lower .. well have to give it another try the next stringing job.

i wud think so too. anyways this newly pre-stretched strings are pretty poor to play. seemed like dead to me. no life. even whacking with chris and viper just now. was just dead ( however mayb today also is not a good day to benchmark.. playing badly ). Anyhow i'll give it another try as prev i prestretched too high at 55lbs. So this time i'll go for 50-52lbs and see how.

Added on October 6, 2009, 10:13 pmno idea bro ... can ask battousai. anyhow i just requested from him to help me get the microgel extreme pro 2009 and youtek MP for me to test ...haha... i can ask him for u too later if he is online...

i guess it boils down to the routine and experimentation. once you stick to a certain favourite brand you'll know how to adjust the tensions to suit you. just a benchmark tension and then compensate it by + or - from there but costly each time to try new strings ..haha... must burn a few strings before can get the proper setup.
