I just purchased a few reels from stringerpro.com. Some of their prices are a little bit lower than Tennis Warehouse and other mainstream retail places, but some are SUPER cheap. For instance, Hyper-G Soft is ~$35 cheaper but Yonex and Babolat strings seem to be a LOT cheaper (over $150/reel).

Any chance those strings are not genuine? Anyone else ordered from stringerpro.com before?

I play with the Pro Staff 97 v14 and have them strung with Hyper-G Soft 18g at 48 lbs. I love the feel of this setup, but they notch after a match or two. My question is, how much notching is okay? Will any notching prevent proper snapback? Meaning, if I notice notching, should I restring? Or, is some notching acceptable without causing significant issues with snapback and playability?
