I'm now convinced that new strings and and new grip are really key to consistent play. Sometimes I think a racket and strings that I'm used to is better than getting it restrung or putting a new over grip on it and screwing things up.... but it doesn't work that way.
I played last night with my 'new' racket and was amazed how much better i could feel and place the ball. The biggest thing I noticed was the accuracy and spin. My strings were literally peeling, and that has to affect the grab on the ball. Plus, as they loosen up its like a trampoline which seems to affect my serve more than anything, but even volleys and ground strokes felt better. Maybe I was just feeling "it" last night and playing well, but I think the new stings helped. It doesn't matter if its fishing or tennis... the little things do make a big difference, and a revamped racket is better than a worn out one.
