Answer 1

If you're asking questions in this forum then any synthetic gut or nylon string will be sufficient.

However Prince recommends the lightning xx16 strings

Answer 2

you can order with 3/8 grip and put one over grip layer on the handle, as for string it depend how you hit the ball, Luxilon is good string and it last long.
