Although companies have made progress toward making nylon strings more like natural gut, experts agree that gut still offers the best playability ... Unfortunately, gut usually costs in the $50-$60 range, so most players are content to use synthetic strings ... With synthetic strings now being produced with a wrapped or individually textured filament construction to simulate gut, and with metallic, silicon and Teflon coatings, today's strings have both increased durability and responsiveness ... Wilson Sweetspot synthetic which incorporates 15, 16, and 17-gauge string in a way that allows for the thinner more responsive 17-gauge thickness in the sweetspot area and the wider more durable 15-gauge string on the outside. 5, record 1, English, - gut%20string

Después de haber decidido el tipo de cordaje que se va a montar, hay que tener en cuenta que los de tripa natural deben estar montados con una tensión de un par de kilos más que el sintético; puesto que, al margen de que cada fabricante recomienda una tensión máxima para cada tipo, estas tensiones deben oscilar entre los 12 y los 22 kilos en raquetas de dimensiones normales [...] hay que tener muy presente que cuanta más tensión haya en las cuerdas, más lenta sale la pelota, aunque con mayor control, y, naturalmente, con menor tensión, más veloz sale la pelota y se tiene menos control de dirección. También se rompen antes las cuerdas cuanto más tensas están. 3, record 2, Spanish, - tensi%C3%B3n
