Answer 1

a good textured string is the babolat pure hurricane tour-which is what hadal and sharapova and i think roddick use

but here are some other examples-

if you are a heavy hitter, serious competitior, fast strokes with spin

luxion big banger alu power-prince recoil or babolat hybird hurricane tour + Xcel

all rounbder-technifibre NRGsquared (i mean with a little two top right of the "g")

or klip x-plosive

or

you have short, slower strokes and you game is based on consistansy.

babolat tonic +or prince synthetic gut with duraflex

Answer 2

In regards to grip size, height doesn't matter.  When I was 14 I was playing with a 4-5/8 because my hands are so big.

How to choose the right size grip:

-Open your hand with your fingers extended and close together

-Place the end of a ruler in the middle of your palm, inline with the bottom lateral crease of your palm.

-Measure here from the middle of your palm to the tip of your ring finger

-This is your ideal grip size

-For the average woman, this size will be between 4 1/8" and 4 3/8"

-For the average man, it will be between 4 1/2" and 4 3/4"

-If you are between sizes, go with the smaller size and add an overgrip or heat-shrink sleeve for the perfect fit

-Most overgrips will increase the size by 1/16 inch and heat-shrink sleeves will increase grip by 1/8 inch

You should choose your string based on the following-

Natural gut

-Provides the best, most consistent feel

-Best suited for more advanced players because of improved performance and feel on shots

-Will need to be changed frequently; not very durable

Synthetic

-Better suited for recreational players

-Offers a good balance of durability and playability

-Very little difference in performance for the average tennis player

String gauge

-This is basically the thickness of the string and the big difference is in durability and playability

-Thicker strings (15 gauge) last longer, while thinner strings (16 and 17 gauge) offer better feel but are less durable

String tension

-All racquet frames come with manufacturer's recommendations on string tension and it is best to stay within those limits

-For more power, the racquet should be strung at the low end of the range, since lower tension equals more power

-Higher string tensions offer less power but provide for better control

-As a general rule, higher tensions are recommended for experienced players only

please use yonex

Answer 4

Select the Babolat Syntec Grip (White) and use the Babolat Pro Hurricane 16 string. I use these, and they are so helpful and comfortable! Also get a string dampener. Really adds touch and feel!!!

Answer 5

HI

Rae sharapova dosnt use pro hurricane tour?

Well for starters it depends how much money you have.

If you don't care how much u soend on a re-string i would get Pro Hurricane Tour In the mains and babolat VS touch Natural Gut in the crosses a briliant hybrid sting, this combo is what Roddick uses it. But if you want a cheap but good spin string with a decent tension life a would recomened SIGNUM PRO POLY PLASMA. This is rated the best polyester string in Europe. I use this string but remember the tighter you string it the less power but the losser you string it the more power you get. EG: 54lbs has more power than a tension of 58lbs.

For the grip i would get a 4 1\4 because a babolat grip ups the grip to a 4 1\2 depending on what grip u use eg: overgrips.

And for your height it doesnt really matter. But for you if u luv power and placement. This racket would be perfect for you.

If you don't already no what the Cortex does i can tell you. I filters out all the anoying and damaging vibration that can give person a Injury that is commonly known as the "TENNIS ELBOW"
