Leif S & Lindsay D on "Luxilon String"

For years I've been trying to get  players to understand that stiff, polyester strings are not for everyone. Read the following (condensed version)  and let me know what you think.

 

An interesting conversation took place last week during the women's year end championships in Istanbul. Leif Shiras who was ranked as high as 31 in the world, and former world #1 Lindsey Davenport, were commentating during the Serena-Azerenka match. It was brought up that Serena who had been using natural gut for years, now uses a blend of natural gut and "Luxillon." (As ususal they have no idea which particular Luxillon string Serena uses.)Tho following has been heavily edited. Lindsey:  The Luxillon gives her a little more control and spin. You lose feel and touch especially at the net but that is a lost art anyway. Leif: I do a lot of the Champions Tour events. Many of the guys are using Luxillon. Lindsey: How are their arms? Leif: Oh their arms are killing them! Leif: So you wouldn't recommend Luxillon strings for recreational players. Lindsey: Not a great idea.

Prince Graphite Origional Mid - 4 for sale at much less than market price:

This particular racquet is still one of the best racquets ever made - not for the beginner, but an amazing racquet! Stop by or call - here are some of the details:

The Graphite Original continues its claim as one of the best all-time player's racquets. With over 30 years under its belt, the Graphite Classic's feel and control garnishes a loyal following few racquets have known. The Mid, with its simplicity of design (smaller 93 head, open string pattern, standard length) is worthy of its "ultimate control" status. Timeless frame characteristics such as the 19mm beam, 12 oz. plus weight, head light balance and Cross Bar Stabilizer, make it a continued favorite among advanced 5.0 to Tour level players.
