I think Cyber Natural is overrated. The good thing about it is its durability. Thats its.. it doesnt retain tension as well , it slides alot , no resilience and no feel. I still have 5 packs of Cybernatural that i have been keeping for more than a year. Tried it twice.. not so good for me.
I agree. With M140, working with slim10, or some Winex models (i.e. T-11) could be a total nightmare, as the wooden pieces will block the gromments on the top and throat area.
On the contrary, it's greatest weakness is its LACK of durability. It excels in all other areas from repulsion to control. But it's inability to last under high tension is why it is not used often. You'll also notice that it has a very soft outer surface, which quickly frays as the strings move under play.
I second that. I have to insert the first few mains in order to get the Slim 10 strung, which is quite of a hassle as I actually didn't think about that until I got really frustrated Other models are no problems though, as the Slim 10 is the first one I've strung that has a thin frame on top.
And as we know natural gut cannot withstand tensions over 25ish without fraying like butchers string, come to think of it has anyone seen butchers string and natural gut in the same place at the same time? Maybe we have discovered the alter ego of the butchers string
yes but the natural guts weren't cut up in string format yet http://www.zaccardis.com/butchers-string.html
Hmmm interesting.. i felt the string is durable. The rest not so good. From my experience from playing with Cyber Natural , it doesnt frays it just snapped! I do agree that the strings moves alot.
Its rough surface makes it a control string. Don't need to string too high then, as it will be predominantly used for singles!!
Hey bluejeff, I noticed that you had removed the reviews of certain racquets that you have such as the Ti-10 and MP-100. Can I ask why you had done so? I found that these reviews are very helpful in comparing one racquet to another.
That's because I sold some of them. It would be a little unfair to post the picture of the racket without the permission of the new owner. I am quite busy this month, so I don't think I will have time to update the site until Christmas. However, once if I do, I will post new reviews of the NS7000 there as well. Along with other new rackets that tooked the airplane with NS7000
String: BG66 White Tension: 22x24 Pattern: Yonex's official pattern I have completed the stringing....and I have few comments on this racket: 1. Stringing is easy on this thing as I mentioned before, its frame is thick, not thin. 2. Clamping is super easy on this racket as the shape of the frame is very weird, but fits in the clamps perfectly. 3. This racket should be durable because I can already tell from stringing process. It is very solid, and doesn't "move" much. So this racket is stringers' friend ! By the way, The 2U can take 25 pounds, and 3U can take 24 pounds (as the stickers said), but I think I can actually crank out the 28+ pounds on this thing without much of effort. It will be compared to my trusty MP99 and Cab30MS for the testing. So far, as I am fooling around with it in my apartment (again ), I have found the NS7000 has really great control ability. It is in the range of MP99 from my indoor tests, and I will elaborate on this in the on court tests later.
Oh you've sold all of the Ti-10s and MP-100s that you have? That's a drag since Ti-10s are quite rare. I would think you'd keep one of each for collecting purposes. Anyway, since you've sold them it would make sense to not have pictures of those racquets up. However, I don't think the owner would mind the review (without the pictures) itself. Anyway, how does the Carbonex 20 Long hold up against the Ti-10 (2U if possible) and the MP-100 (2U) in terms of power and control? I am wondering if I should keep it or not. Thanks, Vu.
