Thanks for doing this video! They were playable, but the strings in my two wood rackets were easily a couple decades old. Skeptics have no idea what they are missing. You get away with a lot of bad technique with modern rackets (especially oversized rackets), and your game improves tenfold with just a few days of wood racket training. I can't wait to try them with new strings!
Just strung my Wilson Jack Kramer Autograph with Forten Sweet 16. Followed your instructions step by step. Thank you for being a terrific resource. Cheers…
Borg used to string his Donnay's at 70 lbs and occasionally his heads would implode. I still have one of my Pro-Staffs left over from when I played at UNC in the 70's. I find Prince Synthetic Gut 16 at 40 pounds works very well. At UNC they used to string our rackets with Pacific Gut but it did not last very long.
My stringer strung my Dunlop Maxply McEnroe one piece, with 7, 8 and 9 shared (instead of skipping 9 and sharing 10). Both at the top end and the bottom end. Is this harmful to the racquet? It's an 18x20 racquet.
I was thinking of choosing a thicker gauge string for my wooden racquet, I heard thinner strings could 'cut into' the wood. Is there any truth to that, or is it an old wives tale? Also what would be the max. gauge/thickness for a wooden racquet? With the shared holes and all, I can imagine you don't want to go too thick.
Looks like Yonex Dynawire, synthetic gut. Guessing 16L. Know he said he was gonna tension at 30#, but then later said something about 35#, so probably right in their somewhere.

I had a Jack Kramer Autograph in the late 70s
Can't believe you didn't use a blue spiral synthetic gut!

what strings, what tension, and why?
