I love these videos man, these mini tennis documentaries are so beautifully produced

[@imseeno]

I've played tennis for years and it never once occurred to me that the "gut" material for strings was based on actual guts. I thought it referred to strings being the gut of the tennis racket. I learned something new today.

I'm a senior copywriter for one of the biggest agencies in the world, and let me tell you that this is immaculately scripted, edited, and executed in every way. Thank you for such content, my man. God speed.

So happy to see Guga in this video! My hero, my idol, the legend of my hometown! I have a T-Shirt signed by him. We live in a small town, but never saw him in person. Only his mom and his grandma.

And I thought your crazy video ideas couldn't get even more crazier! Fascinating stuff as always my friend on a subject I literally knew nothing about!

[@oldfrend]

recently tried poly strings for the first time. can confirm - CRAZY spin. i hit a second serve that went up the middle right off my racket, but ended up crossing the sideline. never done that before O.o

[@thetennistalk]

Great video again man! String tech literally a game changer 🔥🔥

[@DensetsuVII]

Ah Cult Tennis, the tennis channel where I always know... they aren't stringing me along... even if they literally are~

[@FootFaultTennis]

Ah perfect I can sit down and eat my lunch whilst watching a Cult Tennis video.

[@Jarxia]

I've never watched or played tennis but I like sports and I love these Cult Tennis videos. Keep feathering it brother

[@Tagbadger3]

Neat. I didn't know this was used in tennis. Early lacrosse pockets were made of "cat-gut" too

[@twinwankel]

Well the issue is really the environment. Tennis players restring so often, they create a mountain of used strings that don't break down. And with the popularity of racket sports growing due to the pandemic, this could be a serious issue. Of course, this issue should be a follow-on to this channel's tennis ball environmental impact video. Some strings can get recycled but the energy it takes to break them down coupled with the toxic chemical by-products makes this route questionable. Natural gut at least is bio-degradable though expensive.

Amazing video as always! You have a true talent for video making

[@juffan]

Wow, the editing and design of these videos are so creative. Very cool!

[@ql3670]

The hybrid stringing information is wrong. To increase power, the mains should be natural gut, not polyester. The mains have more influence than the crosses, and natural gut is more poweful than polyester.

[@charlesgraves4565]

you make the best tennis videos by far dude. keep going.

[@tennisplanet6037]

I did a similar video regarding Kuerten and poly strings.. I wonder if Cult Tennis got the idea from my channel.. anyways well done as always

[@samiralawton7497]

I could not care less about tennis but I watch all your videos. A+ for a video that's entertaining even without the viewer needing to like the subject

[@shpingalet7895]

One of the best tutorial videos for beginners (and others). Wow. Thanks!
