lol... name USTA... of cos in USA la... LMAO..... here i dunno who can string well... maybe botak raymond of ultimate because back in the days he was a certified stringer & got offered to string at wimbledon. U can also checkout some pre-string waxing method to prolong the life of Natural gut. Do check with Peter too... i love his stringing & the prince 5000

Now for 2nd Yoda to speak,

Mmmmmmmmmmmm........

3 cows = Amount of natural gut to string a racquet
; )

Today where can.
Loaded with work.


No sifu either.
But just speaking from experience. I once had a full-gut strung at 57lbs on a 90 sq.inch racquet, but the string snapped in just 2 matches. Furthermore those 2 matches IINM, were relatively short ones (just about an hour plus or so). Felt so heart broken that time when they snapped, especially when I'm only studying then. Money doesn't drop from anywhere.

I switched to poly and gut after that and never had a string snapped on me with this setup atleast until now.

I don't know if its the stringer's fault that he didn't string well or not, or maybe just my playstyle isn't right for it. But really, experienced once.... RM200+ down the drain, ain't gonna do it again.


60lbs would be nice I say.
Wouldn't matter if you string it at 65lbs either, since Dunlop racquets are rather flexible. Won't hurt your arm much, if at all.

i'm looking for morning games during the weekend as well...

bila mau pegi sunway carto?

zdepth is totally correct on proper form required to string natural gut.If you gut broke ANYWHERE near the racket frame, its the fault of the stringer, if it broke smack down in the middle of the racket and the STRING is NOT frayed before hand, 50% stringer, 50% string.Why? If you recall when you buy a string its in a packet and coiled up in a nice circle for you, IF you( d stringer) does not uncoil the string properly it retains some coil memory and when you string the racket you naturally weave your cross's, by pulling them through the mains, you still have to get rid of the coil memory and your string has to be pre-stretched for optimal playability.

Natural gut are only people who hit predominately flat, strings hardly move if you hit flat,people that have arm/shoulder problems, natural gut does not lose tension that much maybe 1-2lbs, I know some people who have had Natural gut for a year and it still plays fine, ie like freshly strung.You know why pro's these days don't use natural gut, coz 1) the rackets these days are extremely powerful, you need a string that provides extreme control hence the thats how Luxilon become popular.Can any of you recall pro's in the 80-90's all using Natural gut, why, because their rackets were all about control, they just used gut as it was powerful.Ever wonder why Sampras was using Babolat VS 19G at 72lbs, his racket did the talking....
