I've used this three times after having the strings put on. The strings are Gamma Zone, strung at 27 pounds. Edge guard is applied. Please comment if you have any questions. It hasn't been used much and is in good condition, but it is a used item, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things. I will pack it with bubble wrap before shipping. This is a set with the YONEX racket bag purchased at the same time. Thank you.
