Longest lasting tennis racket strings
[edit] Longest lasting in terms of preventing breakage
"Synthetics usually last longest, especially a solid core, 15 gauge."[1]
"I use to use kevlar before poly became popular. by far kevlar is the most durable string. Try 18g kevlar, gosen use to make one but IDK now"[1]
Kevlar (same as the material used in bullet-proof vests) can last many times longer than nylon or synthetic gut.[2]
[edit] Longest lasting in terms of preventing tension loss
Natural gut has better tension retention than any other material.[3]
"try head intellistring. i think its pretty long lasting. I think its two multis."[1]
"According to tw, tecnifber nrg2 has the best durability tension wise"[1]
"Try head intellitour 16g hybrid strings. They give nice pop, spin, and control."[1]
Natural gut strings can last 5 times longer than a synthetic gut.[1]
"I would definitely not rank NRG2 higher than Intellistring/tour, in any case. NRG2 is going to be the fraying string, intellistring/tour is more of a slick construction."[1]
