SOLINCO HYPER G SOFT TENNIS STRING REVIEW

[@jkim3464]

Dude you gotta do something about the irregularities of the volume in your videos. Love your videos.

[@zf164]

I’ve been using it since March, great string, lots of power, great comfort, even at 60lbs in my rf97

[@dontimon3688]

great review, lots of production info and player feedback. I found the weather impact description very useful. I practice a lot at night, cooler temps. However my competitive match’s are played during the day time hours and or high temps. Good to know in advance how to anticipate the playing characteristics of a string and how it can affect my playing on the court.

[@ryanmatthew9241]

How does this compare with tour bite soft?

[@markmoorefineart7453]

I wanted your suggestion on the best Solinco poly string set up for someone who puts a premium on pocketing and feel and still wants good spin and control. I am currently playing exclusively doubles with a Babolat Pure Aero - so a set-up that compliments that racquet string pattern and stiffness would be ideal. I am not opposed to using thinner gauge polys or poly hybrids to get the desired playability. I tend to like to play at lower tensions to open up the sweetspot and increase ball feel. I am currently bouncing back and forth between a full bed of Tour Bite Soft 18; Hyper-G 19; and Hyper-G soft 17 - all strung at 40 lbs. Is there another string or hybrid you think I should try? What would you personally recommend?

[@leemundo8774]

Could you do a “Weiss Cannon Ultra Cable” review please?

[@Ospiteosbonif]

Dead dead

[@kyzersoze.musicology]

I highly recommend you try MSV Hex Focus +38 / 16gauge at 54lbs....

[@johnrutenberg]

[@leemundo8774]

@Y wasn’t a massive fan of the Hyper G’s, prefer the Ultra cables but they do feel a bit lifeless sometimes....maybe I have them strung too tight at 56lbs in my Pure Aero VS.

[@ptt3975]

Low tension = Low control no longer applies to the new stiff polys. Since I have been stringing my own racquets I'm now at 30 lbs in my Clash 100 Pro with Hyper G in one and RPM Rough in the other. My shot accuracy is much better at low tension. Regular Hyper G still seems metallic at 30 lbs so I will never use it again. Hyper G Soft sounds like a good idea. I also love the RPM Rough at 30 lbs. It's my best set up now. I have Lux Smart in my Pure Aero at 30 lbs. It also feels great. Former college player.

[@austinkim7124]

P T T I totally agree with you. I have been at 40Ibs for about almost 2 years now. I have been playing my best tennis ever. Do you recommend trying to go at low as 30Ibs? How did you like 30Ilbs vs 40Ibs? 4.5 player btw.

[@ptt3975]

@@austinkim7124 Glad to hear! Can't argue with success! I haven't done 40 lbs. I tried 47 lbs. and it was not any better than my old 52 lbs. If you can find a way to string your own racquets it will make it easier and more fun to try out your favorite string at different tensions. You are probably like me in that we want the set up that makes us feel like we can smack the crap out of the ball! Even If you can't string your own, I would try minimum of 5 lb increments. Update: clash 100 tour with tour bite diamond rough at 40lbs and Clash 100 tour with Confidential at 40 lbs. Love them both. I could not hit short target whip shots at 30lbs but baseline accuracy was good. now I can do both Confidential is ripping the felt off the ball!

[@user-se7vt5ow4e]

I string 20kg on the mains and 18 kgs on the crosses.

[@iqbalroskolnikov1391]

I dont consider you expert by a long shot BUT I like your review because you are objective and not just pushing every item that comes your way.

[@Le-Chuck]

I think that when a poly softens after one hour or less is just the break in period (basically : the time for a non pre-stretched poly to settle in), not the tension maintenance... So to review it, you should have play more than you did dude. Not a serious review here.

[@islandmerchandise3017]

I’m liking Volkl cyclone tour 18g. How’s this compare? I also tried normal hyper g which also loses tension quickly .

[@kevinrob3910]

My new fav strings.

[@virtualyme7659]

I play with the original red and black RF 97 autograph strung with champions choice with the gut in the mains at the recommended tension on the frame. I prefer the VS gut to the Wilson in the mains though. I'm always looking for alternatives to replace the gut mains but never found anything as good for my liking. How does this stuff compare? The softness sounds good but not the tension loss. Any suggestions?

[@robaltdelete]

Thoughts on Natural Gut in mains and Solinco Hyper G Soft in crosses? What about Hyper G (not soft) in crosses? Edit: Square shaped strings. Disregard.

[@CoDINmyHEART]

alu power or 4g will do the job, better for the gut to not be in hybrid with a shaped poly, even though it has not the worst shaped edges. Still works of course though.

[@msalvs]

It's beyond me why would anyone ever put a shaped string in the crosses, especially with gut mains.

[@CoDINmyHEART]

@@msalvs True but we all can't know it all every time ;)

[@robaltdelete]

@@msalvs yep the point was to check if the strings were not shaped with the NG

[@imateapot51]

I tore a soft string to shreds and learned never to hybrid Hyper G. Same with ALU Rough but Federer does not seem to mind.

[@tennisisphysical]

Compare to Tour Bite Soft!?

[@webbezzy]

Tour Bite Soft 17 is a good one too. It is thinner 1.2 mm compared to Hyper G Soft 16L which is 1.25. It is also a tad stiffer 186 lb/in compared to172 lb/in. Bite has a bit more spin potential. Both have tension loss of 29%.

[@johnrutenberg]

Would a full bed of this be ok for a 13 year old junior?

[@Richibald1]

Harry question to your coaches and you please. I have 4 priorties in this order for a new string. 1) GOOD pocketing and feel, 2) GOOD spin grip & stay put strings without* stringalings 3) GOOD power with* durability 4) It's going in a Yonex 105 racquet as my gold mine turns profitable so hybrid synthetic might be option say Hyper G Soft crosses with Fed's Wilson Synthetic Gut as an example what I'm musing could be good for all the above. Hey I'm hoping to get to Indian Wells this spring of course you'll be there to introduce me to Roger right? 👑

Hi please answer me i will be realy happy becouse of your opinion,i have bought a Rf97L version and changed the sytetic grip with leather babolat grip and now its 300g unstrung i am advanced/intermiadiate player i have trained tennis couple of years and my question is how to make my raquet similar to wilson blade with weight not to be to much head heavy like 305gunstrung where sgould i put lead tape on the raquet is it 3 and 9 and how much. Thanks for the answer i have been wathing all of your videos you are great 😀

[@federicodecuadro5672]

What's the main difference between different gauges of strings?

[@rhuerta2]

Thickness... Higher number thinner 17, 18 = better feel but less durability. The opposite also applies for 15, 16, less feel, more durability.

[@tennnis498]

Is Coach Gu still competing?

Would this of regular Hyper G be a better option over ALU power (lime green) for a softer more control option without going for the Wilson Champion's Choice? Thank you.

hI I want to know wich string and tension is better for my daughter ...9 years old.. she play 6 day for 2 hour a day: Luxilon Smart ,Luxilon element Hyper G soft ...or Confidential ...thx you.. best regards sorry for my english

[@mpj1117]

Why the sound is always small?

[@boogie7778]

What about as part of a hybrid? I don't like full poly beds due to arm pain but really like them in Hybrids. Current hybrid on a PS Gen3 16x19 is RPMBlast and NXT Comfort. Have always liked Solinco strings. Thanks

[@sanityone649]

Try this setup...it's what I use. Solinco Hyper-G Soft 17 in the Mains at 51 pounds and Dunlop S-Gut 17 (blue) in the crosses at 56 pounds. I'm a senior player...and this combination allows me to hit out and still keep the ball in the court and it's very responsive during volleying. Why did I choose Dunlop's S-Gut as crosses? I had tried Dunlop's S-Gut in the mains and crosses for a while and while I liked the feel, but they were too powerful and moved a lot causing broken strings from sliding them back into place, so I thought they might be a good choice for a softer hybrid setup...and it worked out. I added Hyper-G and crossed with Dunlop's S-Gut stings and surprisingly it has worked out rather well. My string bed is now stable...no movement. My new hybrid setup has a very nice feel, not to mention that it looks nice in your racquet. BTW...I'm using Babolat's 2015 Aero Pro 100 inch frame. So, string according to your racquet and playing style. If you're a higher level more energetic player...you may want string tighter or use something other than Dunlop S-Gut in the crosses. And try adjusting the string tension until it suits your style and arm comfort. I have no arm issues with this setup. (I once had to take off a year with a bad case of tennis elbow. Consequently, I've tried a lot of different strings and setups...and I find the above one of my favorites...if not my favorite. It's really allowed me to pickup my game and take it to the next level.) Hope this helps.

[@JGtennistraining]

Would you recommend this to an 11 year old? He currently uses the Gamma OCHO. And if you think he should try it, what tension do you recommend? We usually do 50lbs with the OCHO. We also just tried the Babolat Natural gut (Blue). It lasted maybe about a week and the tension was at 50.

[@machumachu777]

I would not recommend poly strings for children and young teens to avoid damaging their arms. Multifilaments, natural gut or nylon

[@nundahnarasimon4689]

Hi Mate...irrespective of the weather...48 would be good if it were totally strung by natural gut. like say Babolat.

[@QuickQuips]

So this or the Luxilon 4G soft?

[@Agency323]

Haven't played with it, but I will give it a shot. I switched from Solinco Confidential 16L to Luxilon 4g and Luxilon has far better touch, and better pocketing. Play both at 49 in a Clash 98.

These square shape strings are already soft and the edges are gone after 2 hours, i tested the soft hyper G and it broke in 3 hours.

[@indyglf]

Too much of a ‘thud’ feel with the soft. I prefer a crisper feel. Imho, original Hyper G has more spin potential.

[@kkekang7]

If you want tension maintenance, you have to go with natural gut.

[@adriellepretre9047]

Would this string work well with a pure aero?

[@tjenissa]

[@Abe-Lau]

how are you this funny?

[@Radnally]

I use hyper g 17 at 50lbs. Pretty nice. Thinking of trying Dunlop black widow.

[@trex1448]

Forehand looking better! Still a little too swipey. Try hitting through the ball more! Could you make a video on budget stringing machines like the ones that Gamma makes? Are they garbage? Do they work for the semi serious rec player who breaks strings regularly?

[@ptt3975]

I LOVE my Gamma Electric X-stringer. (Blue one same as Frisco Tennis). Very solid, well built. about $1400. No problems or issues. If that's too pricey, start with a Gamma that you can add the electric part latter. Stringing my own has helped my game more than anything! Lots of people are playing with the racquet they were handed and have no idea what different tensions would do. Getting the right tension is more important than the string, IMO.

[@usaexplore410]

Im thinking of switching to the 95 for more power and a faster swing speed compared to my PS97. Do you think that will help?

[@surfisty8451]

I have a question for you, what would you, or the comments say, is the best racket/rackets for one handed backhand players

[@msalvs]

The only thing that feels worse that hyper g is probably a wire.

[@imateapot51]

What did you string it at? I used RPM Blast. Sometimes a hybrid with Luxilon ALU Power and Gamma Professional. I find Hyper G to be easy on the arm for a poly. I remember a dozen years ago getting a reel of a poly at a low price and put it on several student's racquets. A few days later I cut them all off and restrung them. I gave the reel to a stranger who actually loved that string. After that I always hit with a string before putting it on someone else's racquet.

[@2ndAveScents]

Then you haven’t tried Volkl Cyclone

[@msalvs]

@@imateapot51 around 48lbs, I think

[@msalvs]

@@2ndAveScents Indeed, I tend to stay away from shaped strings

[@2ndAveScents]

@@msalvs has nothing to do with the shape, it’s the formula. There are plenty of shaped strings that don’t feel like wire lol. I like Head Lynx Tour and Edge, Alu Power Spin, Tour Bite, Oehms Alu Pearl. You might like Solinco Confidential for something that feels the opposite of Hyper G for example. Tourna Big Hitter series, Quadro Twist, Ultra Cable, all have decent feel compared to Volkl Cyclone. I’ve ordered the tour version to see if it’s less wiry feeling.
