natural gut 的問題?

Of course is the premium Babolat VS Team 17 (the Wilson natural use by Roger Federer is also OEM from them), it is the thinnest gauge that I know. Besides, there Tonic+ may not be a bad choice as well.

Other then Babolat, I myself is quite recommending Bow Brand, and BDE, which actually offering you similar handfeel and durability.

What Gauge? it very much depends on your hitting style. If you are a heavy baseliner hard hitter with tremendous among of spin, then you can buzz a set of 17G natural gut within an hour. See whether you are willing to pay that kind of money. But generally in tennis, thinner the gauge will give more handfeel and power.

Offensive or defensive, this is your game plan or style, should nothing due with your string.

Am I answered your question?

Hi ibmrc6099, it's very hard to say in only string tension. It also very much depends on the string pattern density. But if you string onto the same racquet, and you already get used to 65lbs on syn gut, then may be you can go for 2-3lbs higher. As the power from guts is quite higher than syn.

As I remember, 17G natural guts cannot be strung with that high tension. The max should be at 62lbs, as it might have chance to break the string during stringing (I buzzed a set before). And that's also the reason why some Pros are using 15L or 16G instead.

IMO,
polyester use 18G, syn-gut use 17G, natural gut... never used :-)

However, many professional (ATP top ones) use 15G or 16G natural gut (full set or half), so i guess it is better to use a thicker one like 16G at least.

also heard that natural gut should be strung higher than syn-gut. so 65lb should be OK for natural gut.

(ps. 65lb for syn-gut is very very high for me, so u may not need to add more lbs. on your natural gut setting. but of course, the first time is always a trial, Good luck)
