Players generally spend lots of time researching rackets, reading reviews, and even testing out a racket to make sure they get the best tennis racket they can afford. But few rarely spend the same kind of time in determining what kind of strings to put in their racket. However, tennis racket string is just as important as the racket is to playing good. Gauge is just one aspect that needs to be considered when choosing your string. Gauge refers to the thickness of the string. Currently the most common gauges are 15, 16, 17 and 18. The higher the number, the thinner the string. For each gauge there is a also a “half size” which is referred to as “L”, meaning light gauge. So a 16L gauge tennis string is thinner than a 16 gauge but thicker than a 17 gauge. Thicker strings have more durability but have less resiliency. Players often say the 15 gauge string has a stiffer board-like feel. Some players like that. But combine a stiff racket with a stiff 15 gauge string, and you might feel like …

Customer Review: too narrow
I remember buying these shoes in the early 90’s but as a reviewer on another site notes the fit has narrowed. I’m barely a medium width (D) and these shoes felt too tight in the front section of the foot. That tight a fit would cause on to be in pain if wearing them. Just look at a picture of these shoes, they’re shaped like a canoe, long and narrow. I had to return them. I’d go with the newer versions of tennis shoe. The problem with this shoe is I don’t think they are available except on the internet so I couldn’t try them on first.
I also didn’t like the grey lining on the inside.
Customer Review: Great Classic
Have used this Pro Staff type shoe for over 20 years and it is still the best. Don’t ever discontinue.

Flexibility - I prefer a shoe which has good arch support but yet flexible and not rigid. I enjoy a shoe which is able to fit snugly to my foot and yet lends the necessary ankle support. Test flexibility by bending the shoe. 2. Durability of the sole - this is the area of the shoe which wears off the fastest. Try to go for one which has a better quality and durable sole. There are different kinds of new man-made materials all the time to enhance the durability of the sole of the shoe. Do try to ask the names of such new materials. I am no chemist but do keep abreast of new and revolutionary materials. 3. Stable and fitting - I like a tennis shoe which is overall stable and yet fitting. A good tennis shoe needs to be firm in order to protect your ankle and the sole of your feet. It has to be fitting so that it will not feel clumsy. 4. Light weight - Do try to get a pair of tennis shoes which is fairly light. As tennis requires mobility, you do not wish to be weighed down by your shoes! …

Thicker strings are great for players who frequently break strings or want that stiffer feel.

Can’t say much about the shoe as they sent the wrong width size.

What a waste of time ordering it through Amazon, I might as well go to my local store as I can get the right fitting at same price or better.
