  • the results were not what I expected (stringing manufacturers should be scared 😬)...

    My friend John is super into experimenting with racket setups. in this video, i test out four of his contraptions. One is a 1lb racket (but 20 points headlight!), a racket modified to match Djokovic's racket specs, and two rackets with weed whacker string in it (one at 55lbs and the other was hand-strung 😳).
    If anyone wants to go into business on making the training aid out of the hand-strung racket, email me at jibrandoesthings@gmail.com lol (nah but fr this has business potential lol)

    Yo this is John, the tall dude that made those rackets
    If y'all want more stuff like this with Brian, comment and tell us 😂
    Also, if y'all want the science, the weed eater string is Copolymer induced Nylon, aka they combined polyester and nylon at the same time so you will feel both properties biased towards polyester (since they extruded it in a stiff form)

      can we get a vid with anti-weed whacker string? can you actually turn weeds into the string and play with them??? 👀

    They make weed wacker strings in various shapes.

      it'd be interesting to try dif shapes in the racket

      Yeah I tried this one tho bc it was the most cost effective while not having titanium in it or another extremely stiff element, so this one could actually feel nice while most others would probably kill your arm

    BROOO!! Now I'm so tempted to try this 🙈🙈

      depending on the thickness of the weed whacker you get, you may have to remove the grommets. this stuff was actually enjoyable to play with

    Weed wacker is just nylon so not that much different to synthetic gut

    • @JibranPlaysThings
      @JibranPlaysThings  26 днів тому +1

      yep exactly. john explained it to me more off camera but you're pretty much exactly right. polyester + synthetic gut so it's spinny, durable, soft. great stuff fr

      Yeah look for 0.064 and lower in diameter (this was the lowest I could find)
