SYNTHETIC GUT
These are an extension (and improvement) on nylon strings, which were
brought
out few years ago,
to compensate for the lack of durability from natural gut. The classic example
is Prince Synthetic Gut. The majority of factory strung rackets are
strung
with
synthetic guts, and are a good choice for most people. They give a good
mixture of power and control with a "crisp feel and sound". They do not offer
much potential for spin, however, unless you go for a "textured or spin" type
like
Prince Topspin, or Head RIP Control, or tennisnuts Twizon. They are also
available
in a variety of different colours. Strings like "titanium strings" are
basically synthetic strings coloured silver!
Synthetic strings are good on their own, or in combination with more
durable kevlars and polyesters. Two of the best examples (and incredible
value) are the "tennisnuts" own label Titanium or Twizon.
