That's what they would have you believe. The gut in Champions Choice is nowhere near the quality of VS Gut. At tournaments no players will bring in sets of Champs Choice, they bring in "Wilson" gut, which is VS re-packaged and even says Made in France on it if my memory serves correctly, and ALU Rough. From my experience, the Champs Choice gut is more unstable and starts to unravel more during the stringing process. I dislike stringing with it, would never use it again and never recommend it to…

I should caveat this by saying that I never bought the actual set but always the two seperately. I always thought that the champion's choice was VS and ALU though?

Champions Choice is a waste of money; the gut is terrible. Much better off buying VS and ALU Rough separately.

How do you feel about "Champion's choice" incidentally Jaz? Old favourite of mine (though how it's cheaper to buy it seperately I will never understand, probably Wilson's markup).

I tried Prince EXO3 Hybrid Spin yesterday. Consists of EXO3 Glory 1.20 and EXO3 Comfort 1.25. Strung it at 58/61. Very impressed. Great control. Has a rather different muted feel to it, which felt strange at first. Really good touch and feel at the net. Crosses didn't move around as much as with the other hybrids I've used recently. Would definitely describe this as one of the best, if not the best, prepackaged hybrid I've ever tried.

<p>Enjoying an old friend this week: VS Team mains with ALU crosses 58/55. Still a favourite despite all I've tried along with Klip Legend mains and a similar poly cross. Thinking of trying Mantis Power Syn with Power Poly crosses. Anyone tried this?</p>

<p>I used the other half of the VS to do VS mains and Attraction crosses to see how that was. My arm was limit with the poly crosses this week so I'm still staying away from poly mains/full beds.</p>

Had a couple odd hours doubles last night. I strung the vantage bc20 with rpm at 60lbs. The strings did lose a fair bit of tension overnight. I've used these strings on and off with other rackets and really enjoyed them dorm one session. However last night was awful. Could hardly keep a serve in and was having trouble getting good bite on the ball. This has not happened before so i put it down to a bad match of racket and string.

Had a couple odd hours doubles last night. I strung the vantage bc20 with rpm at 60lbs. The strings did lose a fair bit of tension overnight. I've used these strings on and off with other rackets and really enjoyed them dorm one session. However last night was awful. Could hardly keep a serve in and was having trouble getting good bite on the ball. This has not happened before so i put it down to a bad match of racket and string. As soon as i changed to my a racket with some used tour bite i could feel the grip again and my game improved.<br />
The power of the recoil of the bast core and a powerful string like rpm just don't match. Just strung up my racket for…tag:tennisopolis.com,2011-01-15:1869403:Comment:4976282011-01-15T13:04:52.150Zjazarhttp://tennisopolis.com/profile/jazar
Just strung up my racket for today: Kirschbaum Hybrix Power at 57/60. I've been using hybrids so far this year due to the cold and wet weather, so I can get more power without dropping tension.
