5 - Wasabi Toroline 4 - Yonex Poly Tour Pro 3 - Luxilon 4g Soft 2 - Toro Toro Toroline 1 - ReString Zero 👌

[@holliebuttonstokes9391]

Loving the video, great to see good value options! Your ability to give honest reviews is great- exactly what we need.

[@zcbowers94]

Wasabi pro hybrid is great. Made the switch from confidential in my pure aero. Not the best feel and that’s its biggest weakness, but it’s very comfortable and much easier on the arm. Tons of spin, though that’s a bit overhyped imo (comparable spin to confidential)

[@xingyuzhou6645]

Nice video! What’s the difference between 4g and 4g soft? I’m using Ezone100 and polytour pro strung at 48lb full bed. I’m considering switching to lux4g since I feel like I’m not getting all the power out of ptp

[@AlexTennisChannel]

Excellent video!! Keep posting 🎾🎾

[@carstenkelle7624]

I also love Solinco Tour Bite Diamond Rough on the Blade 98 16x19. What is your opinion?

[@xRickstaCx]

My favorite all time poly is Alu Power but it goes dead way too fast. Grapplesnake Tour M8 gives me like 90% of its playability but lasts 2-3x longer. You guys should definitely give it a try for your next playtest! Not a huge fan of Zero's muted feel but appreciate its longevity/snapback so I think it's the best cross string for a poly main with better feel. After testing many cross strings for Gut/multi, Ghostwire and Irukandji are probably my favorite. I think you guys would love it too if you gave them a shot!

[@georgioslachanas5379]

Tried irukandji with babolat xalt (multi)..difficult for my stringer..many spots where irukandji didn't "sit" with flat surface against the multi mains...also ,restring zero 1.28 crosses with 1.30 xalt mains and xalt mains already notched during stringing!Hope zero 1.23 cross does better with poly mains

[@xRickstaCx]

@@georgioslachanas5379 I'm good friends with my stringer and he told me the same about Irukandji. He had to put some small indents in the string to make it work but the string does play amazing especially in a gut hybrid. I slightly prefer Ghostwire over Irukandji for its softer feel but in terms of durability, Irukandji can make the guts/multis last much longer due to its flat/oval shape.

[@eyeofhorus1301]

Yo mannn anyone who's worth their salt knows 4G is better than alu power@@xRickstaCx

[@Ali.gatorr]

have you ever tried tecnifibre 4S poly? if yes what did you think about it

[@MrWolfy1959]

Wonderful review! 👏🏿 🙌🏿 Wolfy managed to acquire a reel of Zero 17, and is testing it out against personal favourite, Hexa Infinite 17 from Genesis. Personal weapon is one of the stiffest frames on market, Dunlop’s FX500 (2020), with an RA rating of 71. Used as mains paired with ultra thin poly Hexonic 1.09, and tensioned at 42 lbs(m)/44 lbs (c), the two are comparable in spin and control, but the Hexa Infinite provides a little more power, while the Zero is a bit more durable. After two months and two string jobs with each combination, the Zero is a great string, but the Hexa Infinite is still Wolfy’s favourite. Thinking the some of the bigger hitting high schoolers would love Zero.

[@robertjames5034]

Agree Zero really muted. Surprised it makes number one for this reason. Love Toro Toro though. Hybrid it with Enso Po crosses.

[@azmo1338]

would love to see a test of reString ZERO in hybrid combination with reString SYNC... also with different tensions? 23/24, 25/26... compared to a full bed 24 or 25? souldn't this be the perfect combination? As you mentioned in your review of ZERO, a tension above 26 does probably not make sense... any followup on this one also regarding the durability? Looking forward to see your next review!

[@djsteep7463]

Thanks for another great video guys. I might have missed it, but what tension did you guys test the Toro Toro at? And in a blade 93sq inch what tension do you think would work? Cheers in advance chaps.

[@Golikov_]

I string wasabi pro hybrid 21/22 kg in my 93icn head prestige mid. Very good filing, spin and comfort. I think toro toro would be +- comfortable and this tension.

[@tophersuwita]

I am new to the Toroline world. I use Caviar for my Pure Strike VS and K Pro for my Pure Strike 16x20. The Caviar was kind of dead after a couple hours of hard hitting. How do you guys ranking: Toro Toro full bed K Pro hybrid K Pop hybrid (the color is really catchy in Pure Strike VS imo) Wasabi Pro hybrid ?

[@jwc865]

I couldn’t agree with you more for your number one pick… i’m quite surprised

[@radshet3830]

I like your string breakdown. I may give restring zero a trial…. Currently my favorite hybrid is 16g tecnifibre 4S crossed with 18g razer code soft. 4s is a stiff string so I used 4 pounds less tension on both mains and crosses. It holds tension better than lux 4g and has as much spin as wasabi. The feel though is much nicer. If you run out of strings to try give this a go. Used in a speed MP.

[@jean-pierreuys1554]

Have you tried Grapplesanke strings?

[@dmitryt9286]

4G is still my #1 since I can find it in all the stores around me. Can't find Toroline, never mind ReString. And strings is not a product I'm willing to chase or wait for delivery for weeks paying extra for delivery.

[@TheodorosKolokotronis799]

I enjoyed zero but the feel is muted. With 4G I could produce a heavier ball.

[@johnbrondum]

Ben should try the HEAD hybrid of HEAD Lynx Tour (mains) and HEAD Lynx Touch (cross) in his favourite racquet. HEAD strings in a HEAD racquet do seem to work better :)

[@hoonmedia7883]

Anywhere in the EU where I can get Restring Zero? Not UK, Norway or Switzerland

[@patric_noble_man]

Can you give me an advice for my next string. I play a Head Extreme Tour Auxetic, strung with head lynx tour at 23kg. I want a little bit more power. I love a stiffer stribg because the racket itself is already pretty „soft“ i tried poly tour pro but it was too soft for me. Thanks

[@ph-tennis]

Interesting - I would say that most players would enjoy PTP over Lynx Tour. Have you tried 4G Soft. It’s soft in the name, but not really soft in comparison to those strings! In Toroline, maybe Wasabi would be a good option for you to try. God I love that Extreme Auxetic… enjoy your search for tennis perfection!

[@eggmaneggman9966]

I like your channel. You mentioned you tested 30 polys. Would be nice to list them so one would know which ones were up against the top 5. Thx.

[@ph-tennis]

OK! Will list them in the description

[@gofish721]

I've been playing Yonex Poly Tour Pro for years and love the overall performance of power, spin, and comfort... tho tension loss is too quick. But I recently tried another string from Japan in my Yonex Percept 100 that has replaced PTP for me... Gosen G-Tour3, and also the Spin3. They play remarkably like PTP in all aspects but at about half the price. Friends' racquets I put it in have felt the same about it. A real sleeper quality-value string. If someone told me it was made in the same factory to the same specs I wouldn't doubt it. Also played in a demo EZONE 98 with equal satisfaction. btw... I have the Restring Zero in my VCORE PRO 100 and I prefer the current set up better.

[@w1nd0w3]

How is the ball bite with the Gosen Spin3? I am interested in trying different shaped polys that grab the ball and are crisper than Wasabi. I use Volkl VSquare which for the most part gives me what I want. Also do you do full bed or hybrid?

[@gofish721]

@w1nd0w3 how much spin one gets is way more relative to technique so it's hard for me to properly relate our spin potentials with any certainty. I put the Spin3 in an EZONE 98 and for me it had plenty of spin and power comparable to Head Lynx Tour for example. As I mentioned, it plays so similar to yonex PTP and that includes the spin version, tho this is not quite a stiff. Also, I used Volkl V-torque for a while and that produced good spin for me as a comparison. If you want a square string that has excellent spin but also great tension maintenance, check out Ytex Quadro!

[@ph-tennis]

Thanks for the insight! We'll try and get some in to try it out

[@TheDrakulie]

does Restring zero also work well in Hybrid setup with multi like NRG2 or X-1 ? Great reviews by the way

[@sebastiandomagala9233]

Well, there's only one way to find out.

[@TheDrakulie]

@@sebastiandomagala9233 so you are going to try that setup ? awsome. let me know

[@sebastiandomagala9233]

@@TheDrakulie Surely not. But maybe you will. Because you want to know. And it has to suit you and not me. I don´t like multis, they are way too powerful for me. Maybe when I´m 80 years old or something in that realm. But if you need an advice: Zero is shaped. I guess it can peel off a multi really fast. So the multi should be coated with TPU as well.

[@4magic4]

What about Triax ?

[@28mcavanaugh]

I like these choices! Restring Zero is a good string lasts forever but to me feels terrible it needs more feel then may be the perfect string

[@sebastiandomagala9233]

Restring Zero is my favourite as well. All I need to do is shut down my head and just rip the ball. Thanks to the spin it will most likely land inside the lines. With as much pace as I could probably desire.

[@Nessaj87]

How far off your list is Head Lynx Tour (orange or champagne, 1.25)?

[@andyv6299]

Why is orange and champagne the best, I just got orange head tour and enjoying it from using champagne which was good also

[@Nessaj87]

@@andyv6299 Well the champagne is the original I believe, and the one Tennisnerd liked the most. The orange one is a bit softer. Orange looks so good though, fits well in so many rackets. Not seen much info about the grey but reviewers who tested the black one said it's sadly nowhere near as good as the champagne/orange and didn't even feel like Head Lynx Tour.

[@ph-tennis]

Really like Head Lynx Tour - probably in our top 10!

[@user-ms5sz3ln6z]

I just wish the eco rough came in green, I don't like it being grey, the green from eco power darker green was so stunning.

[@ph-tennis]

We loved the look of the Green too

[@jean-pierreuys1554]

Hyper G is my favorite string to quickly hurt my arm with!

[@crazybigethan]

I like wasabi and toro toro but absolutely hate restring zero i rank it behind most grapplesnake, Toroline, solincos.

[@miapapa1955]

Number one tennis enemy is tennis elbow, We need more arm friendly strings. Yes, Gut is number one for that,but to expensive.

[@itwasntme7721]

I’d highly recommend ( demand u try it )……..Kirschbaum super smash orange. I’ve stopped using Wilson champion’s choice, (RF) string and now use the super smash, (full bed) strung @ 50-52lbs. It’s absolutely mind blowing just how good this string is, it’s very responsive doing a lot of the work for u, arm friendly and being reasonably priced I bought 200m just for myself. It’s been around since the 90’s, but came across it by chance. Chaps name who sold it too me through his description is called Nikola Aracic of Intuitive Tennis, definitely worth a watch 👀💯

[@rawrss]

PH Tennis - Can you speak to the 'myth' that the yellow PolyTourPro is truly better than the other colours?

[@toemouse]

Only ever tried yellow 1.20 and love it

[@ph-tennis]

We've used yellow, blue and black and have never noticed a discernible difference over time. Have to admit that we've never tried them side by side on one testing session though...do you think it's worth us testing and filming for you?

[@toemouse]

Why not! 😂 would be interested in the difference between 1.20 and 1.25. Have read before that people say they are very different and they have a very strong preference of one over the other.

[@karepy]

Before I even clicked this I knew it was restring zero. The KZbinrs string of coin. I mean of choice

I live in North London and used to think this shop was okay but I will never buy anything from there again (and will never recommend them) due to the constant OTT marketing promotions from these two #zerotrust

[@ph-tennis]

Hi - sorry to hear that. Rest assured we do not get paid from any brand to promote their products. These are our own honest opinions and are personal. We stock products we believe are good and will add benefits to people’s games!

[@SubSSN670]

No

[@domclarke8182]

First 🎉

[@bojack3827]

Garbage nonsensical video heavily biased towards strings where they've done a deal with the manufacturer eg. overpriced Toroline strings or want to do an affiliate deal with the manufacturer (Restring Zero).

[@ph-tennis]

Always appreciate a positive comment. We don’t have any ‘deals’ with any manufacturers, we are a retailer and sell many products from all brands. Our reviews are our honest options - but we always remind people to try things out for themselves!

[@imodium5118]

you just lost all your credibility to me

[@timogede5321]

why?

[@mjfolkerts]

Ah! Random nobody is disappointed. Whatever will they do now? 😂

[@jstokes55]

😂 probably has never used any of the strings either.

[@glademaster]

I actually think it’s more credible that they chose strings that people can easily buy online at discount (versus full price at their store) and that don’t have ATP top pro endorsement. I agree Zero is too muted on certain racquets but the feel is quite good when hitting hard (providing a uniquely satisfying metallic pop) or at low tension. While I’m personally using Toroline strings at the moment, I will definitely reconsider Zero when Restring’s new cross string comes out, especially if it adds some crispness.

[@gtowsweet]

Just because none of the pros are using the restring Zero doesn't mean it's bad. Why do you say they lost creditably. This is their opinion and their customers opinion buying the strings. And if they keeping selling out it must be fairly good overall. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's bad. Great job guys with your videos
