I'm an engineer, and I also love to play tennis. I was thinking about what kind of string would give the best spin on the ball. I think it would be a triangularly shaped string so that it would give the most bite into the ball. And if it were twisted,...

Love the gut/poly combo all, no need to insult me .
I use the set up in my sig.

On my prestige 18x20 mid, and it works well too .
