INDIVIDUAL MCP TOOL

recommend_strings

Rank the database for what a player wants, with StringSpec's string finder: one main need and an optional second one (spin (More spin and shape), comfort (Easier on my arm), control (More control, less launch), power (More power and depth), hold (Plays the same for longer), durable (Lasts longer before it breaks), feel (Best feel and touch)), adjusted for the racquet (string pattern, head size, frame stiffness) and with a material ruled out if asked.
