An absolute game changer! Was always skeptical of gut strings, never thought they were appropriate for someone who plays at my level (solid 3.5, intermediate). I bought a set with a gift card I had won at my summer club year end tournament (had to invest a few of my own dollars).  I love these strings! They give beautiful feel without sacrificing power. My hitting partner said my groundies now have more power and spin. Where I've really noticed a change is those mad hustle shots that had usually produced an error now are keeping the ball in play. There is a big price difference from multi-filament but Tomas, our head stringer has advised me that due to the fact that I don't break strings I will probably only have to restring once a year.

Hi Lindsey – I use the Yonex VCore SV100 and string at 55 Lbs, I didn’t change the string tension when I switched to the natural gut string. The best feature of this string is that it holds its tension better than any other. So, no need to worry about the loss of tension over time. I’m not having any fraying issues but I checked with Tomas about that. Tomas said that fraying won’t affect the performance of string, it’s simply an aesthetic issue.
Hope I’ve addressed your concerns, please feel free to call the store and speak with Tomas or Steven if you have any further questions.

what did you string your tension at? and what kind of racquet. Im suffering from tendonitis… and similar to you and don’t want to lose power or control stringing at a lower tension as it will lose tension over time. I’m not a string breaker, but the last time i had natural gut ive had major fraying that i had to cut….suggestions would be helpful. I play with a Wilson Blade Serena 104 Autograph.
