I had to fill in for a match last night. Went ahead and had a bat restrung with Dunlop Hexy Fiber 16g at 58lbs(cheapest they had). It felt pretty good at that tension. I miss the spin from tour bite though. Arm is doing better, but I have reduced my schedule greatly for the next month or so. I was thinking that natty gut should feel a good bit softer than the Dunlop string and guess that natty gut at 58lbs would feel good and not be to mushy for my taste. Hopefully the gut has more spin potential than the Dunlop. I only hit at about 50%. Volleys and overheads felt good, but ground strokes had a lot less spin than usual.
What are your thoughts on gut? I have never used it before. Think 58lbs sounds about right? If you think it's good, i'll get both strung with gut. If you have different recommendation on tension, let me know.
Sorry for being a pain in the ass about this and bugging you. I don't want to make a large mistake with the string and have to redo it. I think gut will be good for the arm for a month or two before going back to tour bite. I also don't want to have to change the way I play if I don't have to, to compensate for the string or lose the performance I am used to.
After having someone else string a stick, you are truly DA MAN!!!!!!!
Thanks for everything,
Joey
