My go-to string is Luxilon Element 1.25 and it’s on your list! Love the feel of it especially on dense patterns. On my Gravity Tour (which is a dense pattern), no loss of control whatsoever even when strung very low and i can still generate some decent topspin! I used to use 4G, but had some arm issues and switched to Element. Awesome video!

I have used the Kirschbaum Pro Line Evolution (53lbs in pure strike 100, too loose) and enjoyed it and then tried the ALU Power 125 (pure strike 16x19 at 50 and 52) and it's a lot stiffer, holds tension well too. The Pro Line seemed softer and more spin friendly too...how do you think the Hyper G might play...or the confidential too? I hit flat, but working to brush up on the ball more on a 98sq ft frame so trying to see how to get more bite when I hit. Suggestions you have? thank you.

Hi There! My name is Sefer. Thanks for sharing your precious knowledge upon the wonderful-tennis. I play tennis since 2004. I feel still doubtful about knowing when it is the time to change strings. Some says you should pay attention to how your racquet makes sound when you hit at the strings. Some says push the sting lines up and down and try to see if it moves back...I think many player would like to hear your way to decide when it is the time for restringing the racquet as I do very much. Thanks again for all.

[@BIGLOVE4TRUTH]

Well, I haven’t tried that many and I mostly hybrid gut in mains. I prefer kirschbaum pro line II especially since I stocked up when it was half price. I prefer it over vokl cyclone which does bag out quickly. Lately, I’ve been using gut in the mains with confidential in the crosses in my Ezone .

[@andyhung424able]

I have used the Volkl Cyclone for about two years. And before that I used RPM Team for several months until it discountinued. I'm a 4.0-4.5 player, and I couldn't tell the difference between the two. But Cyclone is a much better bargain with similar performance. In the last few months, I decided to change to softer poly because my elbow pain and wrist pain have gotten worse. I started using Volkl Cyclone Tour. Noticably softer than the regular Cyclone, so now I'm in the process of finding the right tension. I doubt the RPM Spin Power will be much different than the Cyclone Tour especially given the value. The Cyclone Tour is also better than the Solinco Soft Bite and the Yonex Tour Air with better feel and better predictability when I test played all three of them. I guess I have to try the Confidential now.

Can anyone please help? I bought a used strung racket off eBay and I loved the hybrid string it came with. Only problem is I cannot figure out what cross string was used. Main string is a generic poly. There were no markings on the cross string and I could tell it was recently strung. The string in question is wrapped in a red protective layer with like a silver swirl of ribbons running along it . As the string wears out it frays only the red outside liner and underneath is a clear string that appears to be poly. The fraying is not like what a multi does, rather it’s just the red protective layer that frays. Does anyone have any idea what this string is?! The eBay seller doesn’t know either, Strings I’ve bought so far that I thought they were but turns out it is not.. -technifibre x one biphase red - Wilson sythnetic gut power red -Dunlop S-Gut red - Gosen tecgut remplir Please help me find out what string this is

Gauge matters a lot man!, also color, cyclone 17 neon yellow (1.25mm) is garbage if you compare it to cyclone 18L (1.15mm) black, on spin and tension maintenance. Also Hyper-g, I dare you to try it on your Clash 100 tour, try the 16L (1.25mm) and then the 18 (1.15), if it wasn't for the colour you would be tempted to believe that they are two diferent strings. Please do the experiment, you won't believe the diference.

Pro Kennex Kinetic are very underrated but awesome on the arm. Volkl V1 is also a great racket on the arm due to their big grommet system and their excellent vibration dampening handles (probably the best in the business), the Clash due to it's incredibly low flex, and the Prince phantom line are very soft. Generally speaking any racket with a flex under 64 they consider flexible. The Clash is like 56 which is insane. Happy hunting. Also they suggest using the biggest grip you can use comfortably; it makes a big difference when you dont have to squeeze the racket handle so hard because it is too small.

Luxilon 4g rough 16l - 4g is so good as a hybrid with gut in the mains - holds tension really well is slippery, plays well at lower tensions and the muted feel compliments gut perfectly. Also, it just lasts FOREVER especially as a x-string w/gut. Regular 4g is great too but 4g rough is just a little tighter feeling. 4g soft is too lively and loses tension faster. 16l being just a little smaller than 16 makes sense for a x string (at least in my mind it does)

[@gtowsweet]

Ok it's been 20 to 25 years since I've touch a racket thinking of playing again for exercise. With all the new technology with rackets and strings. I use to use synthetic gut but watching all these reviews what are the difference between synthetic gut and polyester strings. Do they get the same feel. And why do you guys string the rackets at such a low tension. Is it because of the new rackets being use today. I use to use a Wilson pro staff 85 and strung them at a tension around 62 lbs.

[@tonymostic]

From my understanding, polys are a lot more stiff and harsh on the arm compared to synthetic guts, so to balance out their lack of power and comfort many people string them lower now days

[@williamko5031]

I was in the same boat as you, and I was also dumbfounded when i heard the tensions that were being played with today. The best answer I could come to terms with is you're dealing with different materials, and the ultimate goal is to replicate a particular feel when the racquet hits the ball. Back in the day, when you used syn gut, it was much "stretchier", so you had to pull more tension on it in order to achieve a particular feel. Fast forward to today, where you're using a string made out of plastic, essentially (referring to poly strings). Poly isn't as "stretchable" as a nylon-based syn gut, so you don't have to apply as much tension to it to replicate the similarly tensioned feel of a syn gut. Think about pulling tension on a rubber band vs pulling tension on say a broom stick (or another stiff object). You can pull tension on both, but you'll have to pull a lot more on the rubber band to get a similar stiffness to the broom stick. Maybe I'm completely wrong in this rationale, and if so I'd be more than happy to be corrected, but it's what makes sense to me. That being said, the trick is to find the conversion from your old playing tension with syn gut to today's poly string. I'm sure an experienced stringer (such as Tennis Spin!) can help you with that! Best of luck!

[@gtowsweet]

Thanks you guys for the replies for the answers to my questions it helped a lot.

[@javace79]

People are taught these days to use extreme grips that generate a lot of topspin. Poly's lends itself these types of strokes and are control oriented, so need to string as high. You can generate a lot more spin with the string snapping back which works better at lower tensions as well as easier on the arm. If you have strokes like Johnny Mac and create no spin on the ball a Poly string does not do much for you.

[@racketman2u]

stick to syn gut if you have the traditional flat strokes. If you use poly you should go with 17g or finer, and drop tension by about 15% or the string bed will feel too stiff compared to syn gut.

SRKarting good luck in journey as a tennis parent. I have three, and fortunately (or unfortunately) they all have been bit by the tennis bug. They break every other day each or every third day (6-10 hours of hitting). So that investment of the tennis stringing machine we had to do a while ago. Amazing the number of projects that have been able to get done around the house since this pandemic forced us to stop traveling for tournaments 😁....tennis parenting is definitely a lifestyle. They also are now able to tell the difference between the different thickness of strings, and they landed on a predilection for 17 g, that was an expensive little change in taste. Ice code at that thickness lasts them 6-10 hours. It’s good because after many hours poly goes bad as this presentation mentions.

As I’m getting stronger and healing I’m looking to change my racket and possibly string set up. I was using the counterveil Blade 18x20 with a 4 1/4 grip. I switched to the Latest Pure Drive with a 4 3/4 grip. Stings VS gut/RPM T @54/51. I was looking at all my options. I’m looking for the best balance of control, feel and power. I have a one handed backhand. I tend to over hit if my competition hits a heavy ball. I’m wondering if I should stay with the pure drive and use a smaller grip 4 1/4, or look at other rackets that are not as stiff. Clash 100 Tour and 98, Gravity Pro and Tour and Ezone and Vcore 98. I’ve always used natural gut, but wondering if you have a string set up that offers the power, control and feel along with a racket that also is heavy enough but not too stiff.

Yes I'm wondering the same. 10 hours of play or 10 hours after it has been strung ??

[@owenrivard8832]

Reed Wimberly 10 hours of play time. The more balls the strings hit the more they lose their elasticity and playability. Just sitting there not hitting balls won’t affect anything unless it’s like a ridiculously high amount of time like years maybe idk

[@matejaprelovac480]

Isn't black code synthetic string? Not poly

[@MrCantabrigian]

My favorite strings, Alu Power, Hyper-G, Cyclone, RPM Blast, Head Hawk

[@AM-wt8qi]

Genesis black magic and tour bite is a great string also .

[@ericcampos7997]

[@fungi4591]

if price and durability isn't an issue alu power is the best

Difference between Confidential and Black Widow? I’m a long time black widow user. Tried confidential once. My impression is that I get more longevity out of my black widow, more power out of confidential. So black widow feels softer maybe but kind of dead, whereas confidential feels more lively/powerful. Agree or disagree???

[@jamesbowser5006]

Lux 4G, Babolat RPM Blast, Luxilon VIBE, Head Sonic Pro Edge, Ashaway Zyex Monogut with honorable mention: Head Hawk Touch, Genesis Trisonic, Luxilon Element, luxilon Alu power. I really like all of them. But, price is a factor in purchaces.

I use the cheapest Gamma synthetic gut I can find for less than $5 a set. I've always been afraid of using poly because I was told that it is hard on elbows and wrists. I want more spin. How would you set up a hybred pattern, mains and crosses for more spin without risk of joint injury. And at what tension. I have been using Gamma synthetic 18g at a tension of 65 lbs.

[@edge7799]

How about alu power alu power rough big banger original and prince kevlar and synthetic gut hybrid pack.Thank you.
