Last week I had a USTA league match at Club Sport in San Ramon. 
I was warming up with some teammates and I popped my string
which were on there for a couple of weeks.  Then I pulled out
another racquet that had brand new strings that I haven't used
yet.  I served twice and...pop.  I'm serious! and it popped in
the weirdest place! I only have 3 sticks so I stopped warming up
because I didn't want to forfeit my match due to no more
racquets lol.   I called my stringer and told him.  He was super
cool about it and re-did it for free for me.  But I usually pop
strings every month or so.  Not very often at all! least I save
money that way!  lol Yo. Check the gromit that the string goes
through. If it is roughed up gromits become a cutting surface
and need to be replaced.  If the gromit is okay let's just chalk
it up to stringer error. What material was the string?  These
are poly's. RP
