Looking for best blue-colored poly

Delpojuice · 04-11-2012, 02:57 PM

Hey tennis guys and dolls!
Bought me 3 new Wilson Juice Pro rackets.
Did string them with Alu Power ice blue. Looks good and plays well!
I do have arm problems though. That is why I´m looking for a good alternative.
Found the following options to switch to:

1) Kirschbaum Pro Line Evolution new - TW Staff is saying that it is a great string - Chris is totally into this one!
2) Tourna BHBR (RSI: best poly string ever tested???) - does also have alu fibres just like Alu Power but plays softer and is so more arm friendly? Great price!!!
3) Solinco Revolution
4) Polyfibre Hightec Premium and Hexablade
5) Babolat Hurricane Feel and Pro Hurricane
6) MSV Focus-Hex

Any further suggestions welcome!
So which one of these is the best???

If you've got arm problems, poly really isn't great idea. You should sort out your arm problems first, get a a coach to diagnose and correct any mechanical issues before you start hitting again. And you do realise, you'll need to be restringing every 8 hours or so with poly? Playing with dead poly, is going to destroy your arm quicker than anything.

If you REALLY must play, I'd suggest that you try a synthetic gut like Gosen Micro rather than a poly. That comes in blue, though I'm not sure why the color is so important to you.

You would seriously sacrifice performance for color matching? I honestly don't care if my strings are kaka brown..whatever plays best.

Don't listen to them. Looking the best wins you the game. Have you ever seen a good tennis player without color coordination in his outfit? Didn't think so. In addition to matching your string color I also recommend buying 18 rackets and carrying three bags, all matching of course, because nothing is more intimidating than a player with a ton of merch. Shows that you play so hard you need 18 rackets just to play a match.

Reading the original post again, I've come to the conclusion that its 100% a wind up. He's already done too much research / has too much knowledge on the various strings, the playtesters comments, RSI reviews and everything else to ask the question which he has.

What posseses people to go to the trouble of registering a new/fake username, and start a point pointless thread, just to waste people's time is beyond me.

The person behind the 'Delpojuice' username is just a disturbed individual.

Torres, sometimes, more like most of the time, we don't agree, but you never fail to provide incredible amounts of entertainment. That last line is gold

Best to hybrid the bhbr with hexablade.

fortun8son · 04-11-2012, 08:21 PM

It does seem a bit odd that the OP has so much knowledge for a first time post.
But ok, I'll bite.
BHBR/Gamma Syngut blue.

I addicted to poly and can't play tennis now until recovering from TE. I didn't listen what people talk against poly strings. Use a low vibration frequency racket and multi or gut strings. Otherwise you would be just like me.

Wikky · 04-11-2012, 11:00 PM

I'd probably spray paint enduro-gold blue and then string it up at around 65-68... maybe take the crosses down 3 pounds to compensate for your arm problems. Also have you considered using string savers?

Delpojuice · 04-12-2012, 12:42 AM

Since Polys produce the most spin I´m not switching to gut.
I´m not saying that I have severe arm problems.
I can play a poly - it just has to be a bit softer than Alu Power.

@Torres: Just to let you know - I´m a former NTRP 6.5 player from the 90ies having won tournaments in the USA and Europe

"The person behind the 'Delpojuice' username is just a disturbed individual."

Thx to all the others for your advice!
Seems that most of you recommand BHBR - will try it full bed soon - then Hybrid

Has anybody ever played with Solinco Revolution?

Is Babolat Pro Hurricane (blue) as stiff as Alu Power or softer?
Never played a string from Babolat.

How´s the new Kirschbaum Pro Line Evolution? Is it as durable as BHBR?

Really? What's your name? Sampras?

fortun8son · 04-12-2012, 12:52 AM

I think you'd like the BHBR/ Gamma hybrid, but the MSV is pretty.

I will try the BHBR/Gamma hybrid soon but won´t go with MSV. MSV is my last option. From what I know MSV isn´t very durable...

fortun8son · 04-12-2012, 01:14 AM

Ok, this is a joke, right?

Boris is that you?? It's me, Stefan!!!

We played in Frankfurt in '94. You always had the upper hand against me on those indoor courts!!

Topspin CyberBlue.
Soft and performant.

May I qualify for a teaching session or just to hit some balls; I could offer some nice blue strings and some priceless advice. Mail me from anywhere in Germany you are from
