I admit, I was a huge skeptic about L-TEC strings.  The claims being made seemed to be unlikely.  From years of experience with plenty of polys I knew for a fact that ALL polys lose tension.  I knew for a fact that no poly would last more than 4 - 6 hours with my hard-hitting style of play.  I knew for a fact that any string strung below 60lbs in my PDR would be impossible to control.  

After talking with you I was even more skeptical, as you well know.  I only agreed to mail my racquet to you because you offered free stringing.  It came back within 3 days and I planned to test it after my USTA league match.  After getting blown out the first set, 2 - 6, I figured I had nothing to lose and broke it out.  I was already in a bad mood and after the first few balls sailed long I was not impressed.  But the feel and power I was getting felt much different than anything else I had tried.  As I adjusted, it is almost as if control magically appeared.  There was plenty of power, but the control I found amazed me.  I came storming back to take the second set 7 - 6 (7 - 3).  As I continued the match I found myself getting bolder and the results paid off as I easily took the 3rd set  and match 6 - 3.  

At this point I was intrigued.  The next time out I liked it even more.  The third time I figured the performance would fade, but it did not.  I was at 5 hours and the performance was exactly the same as it was in my USTA match.  This is when I called you to let you know how unbelievable the strings were.   I ended up playing for an additional 10 hours before they finally broke!  The performance dipped slightly at around the 9 hour mark, but still played excellent right up until the time they broke.  All that I "knew" about polys was proven wrong.   I admit it.  Now I need to learn how to string them at lower tensions like you.  I will be in touch.  Thanks for being patient with me and convincing me to give them a fair shot.  If not for you I would have never tried them. 

Thank you!
