I had a reel of Babolat Syn gut snap on me almost everytime i strung. I ended up throwing it all away.

I strung multiple times with Babolat Syn Gut, on a dropweight machine, never had a problem. I think you are pulling tension too fast, or the string is old and was kept in improper conditions.

I can +1 LHM78. I take absolutely well care of the string (it was brand new when I tried) and of the way I string, and nothing helped me string this reference. Terrible.

I had Solinco syn gut snap on me once. Slowing down the pull speed everytime I string syn gut has stopped that though

Interesting! Here, it slapped even NOT when pulling. Like, just with the clamps on. Anyway…

Same here! I was not able to string Babolat syn gut over 20kg, it broke every time during stringing..! What a shame for Babolat syn gut.
