I do research here with mice and the gut is definitely not white like the string so I am pretty sure that white is not the natural color anyway. Now another interesting question might be, would different color affect string life? Since different colors have different properties and makeup.
I think this actually true for natural gut. However, how many ppl here really use natural gut? Consider the price, I won't. I believe most string we use, are some chemical product, which color is the original? I have no idea.
But to tell you the truth, I don't think the colour will affect your game. I mean, if the string breaks then just get a new one, you will never know the reason it broke, could be something you did, could be the brand of the string, or the quality.
white. well, any color of rackets fits with white strings.... it looks nice and not funny... just put your rackets with white strings...
I like coloured strings They make you look better cos you've gone and bothered to change/replace your strings........course it's always funny seeing crap people who do that lose abysmally.....to me hahrahrhar.............yeah I would like some coloured strings.....i got mine restrung but with thite strings.......doh
newest experiment, I strung one of my older racquet with neon yellow Gosen GS88 string and played last night. the gym was very well-lit and my opponent complaint to me after the game that my string was a distraction. Maybe that's a new use for colored string, a slight advantage.
hmmm I think gold strings are available. They have so many crazy colors, more so in asia then here in US. Good luck finding one. Gosen makes REALLY shiny neon yellow ones.
they vary sean, I know some use sheep gut, some use beef intestine, etc... hahah, this is starting to sound like a menu at an asian restaurant.
Does stencil ink affect to strings quality? I have been wondering this question and now I would like to know your opinion.. My on sense says that stencil ink makes the string more slippery, and that's not good? Why so many non sponsored players use stencil ink logos?
Strings made of vectran are usually yellow in colour, as the natural colour of the vectran material is a light yellow, so not all coloured strings are dyed.
Yeah jerby he sure did! It's so,even from a distance you can see what brand the "sponsored player" is using. Companies who sponsor players want it 'Advertised" as much as possible.........to get their money worth.
