well, I hv already the best racquet that $ can buy [several of them] and the best apparel that is available in the market so naturally the next thing to worry is the best string that i can get. But i won't be using natural gut, not because i cannot afford it, but i don't wish to enjoy the game at the expense of killing of animals. The question is what is the most useful gauge to choose.seleshfan said:You're new to tennis and the first thing you ask is about the string? Oh honey....you first need to decide what you're going to wear onto the court. Looking good is far more important than playing good, just ask Kournikova, one of the wealthiest sports figures in the world. Let me tell you, she didn't get there dressing like Conchita Martinez. So if you're confident you're looking good, I would suggest focusing on the racket, then the string. What kind of racket do you have? Does it match your tennis outfits?

You're so modest.tennisMako said:well, I hv already the best racquet that $ can buy [several of them] and the best apparel that is available in the market so naturally the next thing to worry is the best string that i can get.

Pity, thought i could get good advice and support here, from the 'experts'.
LMAO I know!! We're just having a laugh, because this kid's such an idiot ! They don't kill animals just for natural gut tennis string lmao... But you wouldn't NEED it anyway!BelgianWaffle said:You're so modest.
'Experts' :lol:
it is damn F...... naive to presume that anyone that is new to the game must necessarily be of very young age and cannot afford the best equipments [ which is usually at the upper end of the price range]. These pathetic guys must have gone thru this sad path themselves.ae wowww said:LMAO I know!! We're just having a laugh, because this kid's such an idiot !

:haha:I dunno that much about stringing and hefty bank balances and abitrary animal slaughter but I'm totally charmed by the idea of being perceived an 'expert'.
That's nice originally posted by ALLanah
Good advice Fee.Mako, go to the boards at www.tennis-warehouse.com and check out the equipment forums there. If you post there, make sure to let everyone know right away how much money you have. They will be quite impressed.
Fee said:Thank you. I really did try to help this person, but his response really kind of threw me. Who spends that kind of money on tennis when they are just starting out? And what exactly are the best clothes that money can buy? Isn't that just a bit subjective? I mean, we all know that New Balance make the best shoes, but other than that....
