The dad nursing tennis elbow who keeps stubbornly restringing with full polyester because gut feels like an indulgence

What it is

Premium natural gut string, 16 gauge, 40-foot set using BT7 layering and Thermogut technology for power, comfort and feel.

Why we picked it

Natural gut is the one string upgrade a player with a sore elbow can actually feel, being markedly softer on the arm than the polyester most club players use. At over $100 a set it is also precisely the thing he will never buy for himself, which is what makes it a gift rather than a purchase.

Dispatch and transit are separate windows and the estimate on a product page is usually only the second one. How long Australia Post actually takes.

If it is wrong

One reading so far. We record every change from here, so a sale price later in the year can be measured against this one rather than against whatever a retailer says it used to cost. Why that matters.
