I agree. The labor rate is definitely not keeping up with the inflation of everything else. It’s a good thing for players who string a lot though. And quite a few players 4.0 level or higher around here actually string for themselves so it’s even cheaper so they don’t need to pay stringers. These people make a lot of money it’s not like they can’t afford it. Even for clubs I think they make a lot more money with coaching programs and court times compared to stringing.
Velocity 1.25 is definitely more durable multi than some more expensive multies like NRG. Imo hitting winners require either a lot of power, racquet head speed and shot speed or high accuracy to hit deep corners. And short and wide shots that bounce over the sidelines. Or be able to have high enough shot tolerance to create space, open up the court to hit an easy put away. I don’t know your level but in my experience what separates a 3.5 and 4.0 is the ability to put away mid court put aways when opponent gives u the opportunity. Have to get there fast enough to hit it above the height of the net. Just a few things off top of my head. If u find a string u can control and create good spin with then go with it. May need to lower tension to get more bounce from it so shots can land deeper without losing control. Higher tension may give u more control but u have to generate more racquet head speed in order to hit a more powerful shot.
Stringing racket takes so long and it’s so much work . I’m surprised how cheap it is to get it done

hello! In your opinion, is this string, Velocity, the best for this racket? 1.25? I struggle to push and find winners...
