L-TEC Strings in Wilson BLX

John it was great meeting you yesterday as well as John and Bonnie. I think you really have an exceptional store albeit small its a tennis boutique and I like it !!! makes it feel very exclusive I will nominate you for tennis store of the year in Alta magazine for sure . As for the strings I have to tell you I am faced with a very serious dilemma those strings are the most game changing strings I have ever used !!! and I am not some run of the mill guy that has used 10 different strings in a lifetime I may try 6-10 different strings a year I always feel that you should be open to trying new things especially products that may elevate you game. I warmed up for a few minutes on a wall just to see what it was going to feel like and after hitting for 2-3 minutes I knew I had a winner winner chicken dinner :-) After 30 minutes I really excited about the feel, playability and control the feel was out of this world I was hitting drop shots and slice drop shots that I had seen his Excellency Roger Federer hit against other people I found a new slice drop shot that I had only seen but could never duplicate that he hits, its a slice drop that bounces vertical in the same spot and drops almost backwards, I am known to have a ferocious forehand but was hitting backhand winners slice and topspin all night .

In a hour and a half I had hit 3 inside in forehands winners that were stuck in the fence, 5 forehand winners down the line that were stuck in the fence , three topspin backhand winners that were stuck in the fence. Balls that hit the bottom of the fence had so much spin they would climb the fence and go straight up in the air. I cant remember the last time I laughed at my own shots that much it was sick !!! I felt like another person was hitting these amazing shots and I was watching, in reality it was me that was the great part. I didn't tell my friend that I had new strings his comment was you must have slept at a Holiday Inn last night and haven't woken up from you tennis dream because you hitting the ball like Federer, I said the ball got some crazy spin tonight he replied "who you telling? I was there...some of those balls were making noise as they went by me " And then I told him, his comment was they must be magic strings because the shots I hit were like a Magic Wand the made the ball travel so fast they were disappearing , I was on the ground laughing after that one. So you definitely have a new customer !!! .

My dilemma is that I really don't want to tell any of my friends about you I am afraid they would start doing that to me :-) but I guess its all good in the end. So I got two hours last night will probably get 3 hours in tomorrow, one in the morning and then two in the evening will chart my play time and see how they stack up love that they dont move around that's a big plus for me. So if you have any pros that have any concerns about trying them feel free to give them my number I will gladly give you and the strings a stellar recommendation. If that guy John Elliot comes to visit you I would love to meet you in would be interesting and informative for sure.

Best Regards, Chris
