REVIEW: RESTRING ZERO v SYNC | Tennis String Review | Comparison

[@youngsuit]

they both use "power lines" of racquets, so the sync string probably helps dial in these racquets. for the more control-oriented racquets like prestige, cx, or pro staff, it might be swayed

[@18yearsoldnot]

Prostaff is power oriented too, just less stable in the layup

[@CrysonDavaio]

So I went and bought Restring Zero after watching your top 5 poly. I use the Head Speed pro 2024 and put the Zero strings at 48 tension It was unreal. 100 percent amazing string. 4.5 player here.

[@RonnieJamesOsbourne]

Looking forward to the hybrid review. Haven't seen any other channels (yet) that have released an in-depth review! I have a reel of Zero and several Toroline strings. Gonna pair Zero (main) with Wasabi X (cross) Apparently, it's a game changer! It would be interesting to see future videos of blending, Restring and Toroline hybrids!

[@kennethyeong1251]

I have hybrid zero with wasabi x....its good........however if you want better feel and more crisp feeling, try grapplesnake tour sniper with wasabi x.....best combo I ever tried

[@RonnieJamesOsbourne]

@@kennethyeong1251 Grapplesnake Tour Sniper is a heavily touted string from TennCom. I've personally haven't tried it, but not sure that's what I'm looking for. I just dropped off my racquets to be strung with Zero/Wasabi X, and Toro Toro/Wasabi X. I didn't like Wasabi w/Wasabi X.... it had "zero" launch angle and felt pretty muted...even at 36lbs. Hoping these new hybrids will give me what I'm looking for. (Coming from a guy who's been using Gamma Jet 17g (mains) and a round poly in the crosses)

[@ph-tennis]

Do not worry! This will definitely be something you will see on this channel! Zero in the main and Wasabi X in the crosses sounds interesting 🤔 Do let us know how you find it! 🎾

[@ManuelGomez-wg3hr]

I've been using blend restring 0 (main) and sync (across) for the last month. Although I'm looking forward to the blend review too as I haven't had the chance to try them separately.

[@azmo1338]

what is your opinion on the blend? I'm also looking forward to give it a try...

[@ManuelGomez-wg3hr]

I have 49 mean and 48 cross strings on my head speed MP. My impression is that it has a great balance between power and control. Also it feels a bit lively too. Personally I would love to increase the control a bit, so I may try with 50/51 on mean or maybe just sync could be the best for me? . I need time, although this blend got me quite satisfied so far.

[@koklich]

We want the hybrid

[@ph-tennis]

Watch this space! 🎾

[@PLRNZOO]

I blended solinco confidential in the mains with sync in the cross. I love the feel. A little more liveliness and control than a full bed of confidential. But the real benefit is the spin is enhanced and the playability is extended at least 2x for me. Confidential maintains feel throughout life of string, but typically loses spin after 3 hours. However, with sync in the cross the spin feels lossless after 2 hitting sessions.

[@gmow99]

Would be interested in a test with zero 1.23 vs 1.25 at same and different tensions

[@youngsuit]

the benefits would be very racquet-dependent

[@alexblue04]

Your reviews are the best 👌

[@jean-pierreuys1554]

I am picking up my hybrid blend tomorrow. I have 18x20 and strung at my normal tension. Wasn’t sure if I should have dropped it. Will see and I hope to comment again

[@azmo1338]

thanks for the intersting content! Really looking forward to the review of the blend with Zero in the mains and Sync in the crosses 🙂...subscribed to not miss it ;-)

[@davech07]

Brilliant - I always love your reviews. I have a 2024 Head Speed Pro, currently with a full bed of Hawk Power (nice feel & control) to Zero/Sync blend.

[@J-dog2023]

@@davech07 I don't understand what you're saying. are you saying hawk power is better than zero and sync? What is Hawk power?

[@davech07]

@@J-dog2023 Hi, I think I must have mis-posted. I meant to say that I was using my Head Speed Pro with Head Hawk Power strings, but also meant to say I'm moving to Restring.

[@J-dog2023]

@@davech07 oh OK by the way I tried to restring for the first time ever last night and it was beautiful. I did one racket at 52/49 and the other at 48/45. Both hybrids zero/sync. For the first time ever my racket kept the balls inside the court and it felt great at the net and my slices were amazing and easy to produce. The serve also felt perfect. I don't have a very huge full swing so I liked the 48/45 better and when it's easier on the arm/wrist.

[@davech07]

@@J-dog2023That's great to hear. After some confusion with my stringer, I ended up with a full bed of Zero in my Speed Pro. Against expectation in an 18-20 bed, it was great - I played the best two hours of tennis in my life. How can an 18-20 string bed produce this much topspin? I found myself hitting harder than ever on the forehand and landing the ball on the service line - took a while for me to back off the spin to play deeper. I expected control to be limited but it was great. I expected so-so on volleys, but it was crisp with great control. I've never laughed so much on a tennis court! I've got an old Prestige Microgel with a full bed of Sync at 46/46. Not got enough hours on it yet but feels like I've got the strings too tight - I'll drop right down to 42 next time. Also got Graphite Radical Pro with zero/sync, which I can't really gel with. Lot's of power and spin, but no ball pocketing, not much feel and a not enough control. It's strung at 50/50 and I now think this is way too high in a 98" players frame. When I restring the Speed Pro, I'll go for a full bed of Sync with mains at 46 and crosses at 44lbs. Sync seems more sensitive to over-tension than Zero.

[@rihssty]

Thank you for this very informative review. I have watched a lot of your videos and the way you did them have always been so helpful. Which one do think is best for the Percept 100? Thank you in advance.

[@steveschaeffer5999]

I play with RPM Blast in my Percept 97D. i am thinking about trying either Restring Sync or Toroline Super Toro. I like a connected and control feel so I can hit out without holding back. Which would you recommend I try in my Percept 97D to swing away without launching?

[@vicman877]

Try Mayami strings

[@J-dog2023]

What would you guys recommend for the volkl v-cell 4 16x19? I plan to do hybrid. Zero in the mains and sync in the crosses? The racket recommends 46-60. Racket power is medium. Mains higher than crosses or visa-versa? Btw, I bought the thicker gauges of each one cuz I want more control. 48/46? 46/48? 52/50? 50/52? 50/48? 48/50?

[@ph-tennis]

In terms of string, decide whether you want it to feel more Zero-y or more Sync-y! Then go for your preferred as the main. Sounds like Zero in the mains might be the best for the Volkl V-Cell (although admittedly, I've barely played with that frame). As for tension, this is something you might need to play around with. I'd favour going slightly lower with the crosses so given your options, 50/48 for me. But remember, it's all personal preference

[@J-dog2023]

@@ph-tennis @ it's a medium kind of powerful racket and every string has been a bit too powerful I just hope lowering the tension isn't going to make it worse. I have it at 54 and the other one at 55. I have 2 rackets of the same. Now I will try hybrids....I hope both gauges at the thickest will help. I plan on doing one with zero at 52 and sync at 50 and the other with zero at 48 and sync at 50. Both with Zero at the mains. UPDATE: I did 52/49 and the other racket 48/45. Will test soon.

[@markmoore5981]

Come on guys! What about the review of the RESTRING Zero / Sync HYBRIDS?! How does that play? Which plays better in the mains? What tension differential did you find was best between them? INQUIRING MINDS NEED TO KNOW!

[@rsh8057]

Thanks for the video? Why did Josh not string his preferred gauge of Zero? I agree playing on fast grass courts will definitely favor a less spinny string as flat shots and slices will be more useful. Is there any diff in tension maintenance b/w sync and zero? how long can you fellows play w/ the strings before they feel dead (compared to say Hyper G or Wasabi Pro?)

[@drsompoch]

For my YY Percept, I strung Zero as main and Sync as cross at 50 lbs both. I will come back with my opinion after a small tournament in Thailand. Stay tuned.

[@J-dog2023]

@@drsompoch so what happened?

[@drsompoch]

@J-dog2023 It was a kind of magic for me. Truly impressed with this combination.

[@J-dog2023]

@@drsompoch awesome so did you stick with those strings and that tension or did you change it up after that and what is your set up lately? I have two Volkl v-cell4 rackets. I really want to love the rackets but all the strings I have used still don't make me love the rackets. I'm hoping restring will change my mind. I set both rackets up with restring. One is 52/49 and the other is 48/45. Both zero on the mains and sync in the crosses. I have not tested them at all yet. I am looking for spin and control because I just can't keep the balls in the court they always shoot out past the back line no matter what string I use. Too powerful, even at 55 lbs full bed cyclone. But this time I'm trying to restring and I'm trying a hybrid with the different tensions. Hopefully this will fix my problem. UPDATED

[@Jose-f7x8s]

Zero is the best Get the thinner gauge and bring down the tension even more ,,,,sweet😊

[@lsfire3489]

Super toro mains with sync cross if i could get my hand on these strings i would like to try that.

[@sundaramirtanandha7058]

How do these strings compare to 4G Soft?

[@ph-tennis]

In a similar mould - Sync is very similar to 4G Soft, whilst Zero feels livelier with less pocketing

[@jwc865]

Should’ve compared thinner zero with thicker sync since that would be closer to the same spec

[@vicman877]

From your top 5 strings, your Top 1 string was Zero. Is Sync now your top 1?

[@fretstain]

fine, I subscribed haha

[@GeneralRock114]

Use gauges please!!!!

[@adamd6972]

You lost me after giving the tension in pounds
