Pacific Classic Natural Gut
If you are seeking a value priced great playing natural gut string, then this is exactly what the doctor ordered! Clearly outperforms Babolat Tonic, Klip Legend and other lower tiered natural gut strings.
Construction: Natural gut has been regarded as the premiere tennis string since the early 1800's. Contrary to urban legend it is NOT made of cat or sheep gut. While cats and sheep can take a collective sigh of relief with this news, our friends the cows need be concerned. Natural gut is made out of a part of the cow intestine called the serosa. While natural gut strings were indeed initially constructed from the intestines of sheep, the tensile strength simply wasn't strong enough for the higher technology laden racquets. Cow guts, the serosa in particular, are used exclusively in the production of high quality natural gut tennis string, except perhaps for some of those off brands seen on ebay! The ebay strings may indeed be composed of sheep or even cat gut based on the reported durability. It takes approximately 3 cows to produce one set of string, thus providing insight as to why natural gut strings have such a high price tag.
Advantage: Superior playability. Explosive power. Incredible control. High Quality string. Triple Seal Technology increases durability and string life 35% over uncoated natural gut strings and increases resistance to humidity (which is like kryptonite to natural gut!) by 75% according to Pacific.
Gauges: 15L, 16, 16L & 17 Length: 40 Colors: Natural
Why we carry this string: Because it offers a great value for our customers looking to experience the incredible feel of natural gut but are on a more limited budget.
