what do u mean with stiff?but most of my friend use luxilon.
stiff as in it really hurts ur arm, especially u string it high tension... they say it can cause tennis elbow...
i was using this poly string called 'prolitter' that was recommended by the tahafe shop in DU, i sommore ask them to string 61lbs... my arm hurts like mad after few hits... and my racquet is now cracked now and i suspect its the cause of the string with that kind of tension... and i think they recommend that string is no good at all...
i heard if u use poly string with a low tension then it will be fine, if u r using syn gut or something then u can put high tension. Mayb ur frens who uses luxilon with low tensions?
i also heard that if they use a digital stringer, the tension will be +2 lbs to the tension they put... anybody know how true is that?

Strings do affect the spin. Some strings (Luxilon Big Banger Spin) are pentagon in shape, meaning it bites the ball more when in contact, hence increasing the spin.
But most of all, you need to have the technique to really increase the spin.

Maybe by adding more loop to your forehand/backhand. Learn from Nadal.

Observe how Nadal hits the ball from down to up.
Do u know if nadal is mainly using full western or mainly semi-western? I always got problem determining other peoples grip style...
