How should the strings be stored in order to minimize aging while on the shelf?
You just need to store the strings in normal condition, not in warm, hot, or cold condition, not under the sun. • What is the difference between nylon, kevlar, and synthetic gut strings when dealing in performance and the rate they break? The nylon is durable, but the performance is not that great. The Kevlar is very durable and the performance is better than the nylon. The Synthethic gut is not durable; but the performance is better than the nylon and kevlar. • I am finding that monofilament strings tend to stretch a lot during stringing, so much so that the actual tension is less than the set tension. Just wondering if you have experienced anything similar. If so, what steps do you take to prevent tension loss (e.g. set tension higher so that it settles at desired tension; pre-stretch string)? You could manually pre-stretch string. If your stringing machine has the pre-stretch function, you could use the pre-stretch function to stretch the string. If your stringing machine does not h
