String Review EP.14 - ReString Sync

[@jean-pierreuys1554]

I see a lot of people getting upset at KZbinrs hyping up strings like Toroline or Restring and saying it’s all marketing. I find that funny. If each of these KZbinrs perhaps get 100 people to go buy those strings and then make $1.5 of a string sale as a cut back then they have made a whopping $150 - and that for putting in hours of shooting and editing. Or do people think these string companies pay them $10K per video? Too much misinformation out there that people think KZbinrs get so much money. Only a few do. I wish good YT will make more money because its a lot of work, but YT aint the company who will share their profits easily. My point is - stop getting so angry at YT some of you out there. They give us content to enjoy and work hard. Tan I applaud your continued effort in making great content. If I am wrong and you are a millionaire now because of your channel, then please enjoy every penny. 👊

Thanks for understanding!

[@davech07]

Well said. I agree 100%! Excellent, detailed and absolutely unbiased review.

[@LuvvAviation]

i love how honest your reviews are, I heard you said re string zero has low launch angle on radical. I got mixed reviews from others and when I tried it myself, flat shots and net shots didn't get as much clearance over the net and kept falling short.

[@tantennis]

Thanks! Yea it is unplayable on Radical.

Hi Tan, have you tried hybrid of restring zero mains and sync in crosses. If yes, how do you find it compared to restring zero/toroline wasabi x hybrid?

[@markmoorefineart7453]

How would you compare the spin potential of GRAPPLESNAKE TOUR SNIPER to TOROLINE TORO TORO? What about compared to RESTRING SYNC, SOLINCO CONFIDENTIAL or GRAPPLESNAKE TOUR M8? What about overall playability?

[@stevenm8177]

Hi Tan. Another great comprehensive review. Love your honesty and detail in describing pro’s and cons and even how it’ll play in different racquets. Not sure it’ll fit in my list of strings as I try so many and this seems good but I like Polytour Strike and Confidential so do I really need Restring Sync? It’s not exactly budget string like MSV Brussard or Swift, so we’ll see. Restring Zero was so unique, crazy spin and depth and in my opinion pretty comfortable feel so no issues at low or high tensions for me with Zero but that’s in an Ezone 100. But I think it’s a good add to Restrings line up and I like the 1.2 mm option as I prefer thinner gauges.

[@tantennis]

On Ezone 100 I think Zero is a better option. Sync share some similarities with PT Strike but has longer playability. You should try it. Put it on a thin beam control frame and it will shine.

[@eincan1313]

Great channel, but to be honest I can’t really take any KZbinr review of Restring or Toroline seriously at this point. It seems every one of you is an affiliate/marketer of some sort of these companies. I have played them all, with the exception of Sync and while they are decent strings I don’t find that they are better or worse than all the other stuff out there. The marketing strategy of these companies is pretty obvious.

[@glademaster]

You didn’t find that Toroline and Restring strings stay playable for longer than the mainstream ones?

[@eincan1313]

@@glademaster I typically get 6 hours out of a typical poly 1.25mm before it is dead or snaps. The offerings from Toroline, Restring etc… were not materially different. I am not saying they are bad strings, I just don’t think they deserve all the hype they are getting from the KZbinrs. But if people like them, who cares what I think.

[@rsh8057]

I hate to say it but the toroline strings do have more snap back which lasts longer... but it's not the end all be all. I hit w/ Toroline Ether and the spin was great; was surprised many times the ball dropped in... but I preferred teh feel of Razor code soft. I guess I have to see what gives me more success / bothers my opponents? I think you can't go wrong w/ either one. What's your string of choice?

[@eincan1313]

@@rsh8057 I am glad they are working for you, but I didn’t get the same results. I typically play TruPro Black Knight 1.23 or MSV Focus Hex 1.25 both around 47 lbs in Wilson Blades. I play them for around 6 hours and restring. They both can be had for less than $65 a reel once or twice a year and therefore see no need to pay more for Toroline/Restring, which I don’t believe are any better.

[@fernandokose7468]

Hi Tan! Great review as always. You mentioned your preference for your Ezone, how does Sync compare to Poly Tour Pro? I'm still looking for the right string for my Ezone 98. Currently I'm using Head Lynx Tour on my racket. Thanks!

[@tantennis]

I think PTP is more lively and fun to play with. Sync is more control. Feel is good but first hour is quite dampened. But if you value longevity then Sync is a good option.

[@perigolo]

I used to play with PTP on the ozone 98, changed to Zero and never went back, now I'm curious about zero mains and sync crosses

[@kudaterbang10]

can you explain how do you feel about restring zero on your ezone 98?@@perigolo

[@perigolo]

@@kudaterbang10 I can make a comparison to PTP that I used before, I believe it's a least a little bit better in every aspect except for maybe feel that I think it's the same and durability is at least double from PTP. I always string at 48

[@kudaterbang10]

@@perigolo okeeyy thanks for the info 😁🙏🏻

[@marklin83]

Hi Tan. What is a good string then from the get go for the Wilson blade 18x20?

[@joshuazambales4070]

Hey Tan, great review as always. Currently play using blade v9 98 16x19 and solinco confidential and getting quite low launch angle but already plenty of control with this setup. Do you have any idea on the effect on launch angle and if I'll be able to maintain that level of control? Thanks!

[@tantennis]

I would say Sync and Tour bite soft has a bit higher launch than confidential. Not by far tho.

[@scras26]

Great review. For a Babolat Pure Aero 98, do you have any recommendations for strings? It sounds like you would like restring zero, RPM blast or something softer.

[@tantennis]

It depends on what feel you like. For me I don’t like hollow stiff feel so the combination of alu-like string and hollow frame cannot go together. I would prefer muted plastic feel on this type of frame. So ReString Zero, RPM Blast (shortest live), or Hyper G, etc.

[@gzc9394]

How does it compared to Ice Code? I tried the Restring Sync 1.20mm, bought from Tan Tennis Shop at Shopee. Absolutely love it but the still on my racket journey before commit to any of it.

[@tantennis]

Ice code is softer, more powerful, and more plastic than Sync.

[@kudaterbang10]

Haii Tan, great review as always. Have you ever used Babolar RPM Blast Rough? Whats your opinion about that string? I'm currently using Yonex Ezone 98/305, and id like to switch my Solinco Confidential to RPM Blast Rough

[@tantennis]

I have no experience with the rough version of RPM Blast

[@kudaterbang10]

okayy thankss tann!!@@tantennis

[@davidmyint9309]

Thanks for the review. Do you have any tension recommendations like you had for zero (i.e. below 50lbs to save your arm)?

[@tantennis]

This one I think you can go with your normal tension. For me not exceeding 52 lbs.

[@davidmyint9309]

kob Khun krab Mr Tan. Keep up the good work.

[@jorgeandrescoppiano]

Tan, how would you rank these in terms of vibrations? Sync, Zero, Alu Power, Cyber Flash, Big Hitter Silver, Lynx Tour, Hawk Touch

[@tantennis]

Alu power > Lynx Tour > Sync > Zero I don’t remember big hitter silver but should be around Sync. Hawk touch haven’t tried yet.

[@jorgeandrescoppiano]

Thank you ma man! Really interesting. One of the most predictable hitting I’ve had the chance to play, was a K Factor Blade Tour (93 18x20) with Rpm Blast 1.30 @53 lbs. A bit too much spin. This one sounds very interesting

[@georgioslachanas5379]

Thank you!Any chance you would try zero mains with sync crosses?You seem to liked zero/wasabi x..

[@tantennis]

I have not. I would like to try but not sure I can stand the color hahaha.

[@eujhin24789]

Hey, how would you compare restring sync with isospeed cream as a cross string?

[@rendyonline]

How does Sync compare to Hyper-G ROUND?

[@GokuSaiyan902]

What string do you recommend for regna v3 98, flatish hitter?

[@ckanady7464]

hi tan, for vcore 100 which one do you prefer? restring zero or sync? thankyou

[@tantennis]

I think it needs crispy string so Sync

[@ckanady7464]

@@tantennis is it better to hybrid with zero on the main and sync on the cross? Or just full bed sync? Thankyou tan👍🏻

[@tantennis]

@@ckanady7464 if you want more spin then Zero main Sync cross is a good option.

[@andrewseung2692]

How would you compare this string with grapplesnake tour m8?

[@mustafa_sakalli]

Very good review. Good job
