Took you long to reply for a person that is 24-7 in this forum...your come back shoulds be " the jerk store called...they run out of you"....that will make it more laughable.
"Hypersensitive" hahahahaha!! Please mate im not the one going at it to anybody that have a different point of view. Grow up.

BHBR IS a control oriented string. Still think that you have to be so mediocre on court and come here to elevate your ego.

Shhhhhh Milosh!!

BHBR is a lively, elastic, spin orientated type of poly with a good amount of power. Control isn't its #1 characteristic.

Lux Alu is a control orientated poly. It's stiff, its crisp, its directionally very precise. Control is its forte. Certainly, for the 2 hitting sessions or so that it lasts before going dead.

Do you really think that ATP pros with the power that they can generate, and with SWs in the 350s and 360s, need a super powerful, elastic poly, and choose Alu because they need extra power?

Strings are a personal thing. At this price range, those blue "spin version" are the best I have tried.

Yes string are a personal thing, I do agree on that. What you dont know is that Im in central florida, I know PP. Know his style of game, and can chime in what might work for him or not.

I dont know how you play or whats your playing style, you could be a 4.0(nothing wrong with that) and have semi developed strokes that wont do any harm doesnt matter what string or tension you do. Right?

I said SSSHHHH MILOSH...go and play with you balls....tennis balls that is...

All your retorts do is just show just how little credibility and knowledge you have about strings, and how hyper sensitive you get when you get things wrong.

UA at some point this weather will finally end and we can hit. I am pretty much locked and loaded with the gut/poly. I have been using it for months and nothing really beats it. I like to check out other offerings, but full poly and I may be done for good. gut/poly has so much more versatility to it.

UA, did you try the trigger point stuff for your elbow?

True, you would definitely make a better judgement since you know PP in person.

We use a different rating over here so I am not entirely sure how that works out. Loosely basing on some my hitting partners who have a NTRP of 4.0. So I guess somewhere around that figure.

Funny, I have always thought people with semi developed strokes are more prone to injuries.

I swear mate, I have my doubt that you are even a decent player. Usually the quiet ones are. Got to learn to be more humble.

If you want to keep it simple, just dont quote me and neither get in my conversation, tired of your posts.

1- So you think what you have to say is more important than Kirilenko using??

2- You may know anybody, but players are different, different racquets, different way to hit the ball, different technique etc...

3- You are wrong here. If anything the guys with worse technique will suffer more, no wonder why poly strings are only recommended for high level players with fast racquet head speed. What is your level anyway? 6.0?

Sure PP, we keep the head up to see when we can hit.
Since I have the IG Rad Pro is so soft and flex I dont need to do full gut jobs and I being stringing with Wilson gut/Genesis Typhoon myself.

Hey Mike, I read it but I never put it to practice since I wasn't playing anyhow. Im pretty much 90% heal, playing twice a week pain free, but I thank so much for sending it and your good words.

I just received YPTP and strung it up. Pretty easy to string. It has a matte finish instead of the typical shiny poly coating. Almost like a syn gut, but doesn't stretch nearly as much. Weighs about the same as a standard poly. YPTP seems like it's a little thicker than 1.25, maybe 1.27? Bouncing the ball off the stringbed at 45lbs feels soft yet crisp, similar to 55lb PSGD stringbed.

Caveat: When stringing YPTP, make sure you wear sunglasses or better yet, welding helmet. Even then make sure you don't stare directly into the stringbed. YPTP is THAT bright. Hopefully I can hit with this within the next 2 or 3 days. My guess is that YPTP is on the very soft, arm friendly range for a poly. Hopefully it has the spin and control of a poly. Good tension maintenance would be an added bonus.

Can't remember what racquet you have and whether that's on a crank, but I suspect that that is going to way too low......

Microgel Radical Pro 16x19, Klippermate dropweight CP at 45lbs full bed YPTP. LTec and Iontec Black at 44-45lbs were perfect for me. If I find it to be too low, I'll go to 50 and adjust accordingly.

At 53/50lbs, it feels soft enough for me. Hopefully it works out well for you at 45lbs.

Tension maintenance is above average. I have been monitoring with the racquetune app, so I would say SPPP and MSV are better in that department.

YPTP will never be the best poly string ever known to man. But just the color alone, it is good enough a reason to stock up on them. If they came in shinny silicone coated fluorescent yellow, that would be a bloody ripper.

which is more powerful ? this string or poly tour spin ?

I would say YPTP based on feel. I have them strung on 2 different racquets so take it with a pinch of salt.

Tistra, would probably answer your question better. Seems like he has play tested the entire Yonex range.

Fedace, don't start that nonsense again. At least with a new username and new picture, do try and turn over a new leaf.

Well, at least it's better than, "How does YPTP compare to RPM?"

He was doing that earlier with this current screen name, which just shows the level of intellect we are dealing with.

[TenFanLA]

Played 3 hours of doubles tonight; 1 hour each with YPTP, 0s/4s and vs team og/4s. YPTP feels comfortable for a poly but you can still feel that it's a full bed poly. The spin, control and power were good. The feel is WEIRD. It feels like the whole stringbed makes a pinging sound as if there is no sweetspot. I have a hard enough time hitting the ball on the sweetspot as it is. I need the forgiving feel of gut/poly to compensate for my lack of hand/eye coordination, not make me feel I'm mishitting the ball more than I actually am.

For $9 YPTP is a good poly but not a special poly like ALU, Ltec and RPM. I would still take Iontec Black over YPTP at this price range. I think I'm done with full poly for a while. My arm gets too fatigued and sore after an hour or 2. I almost wince when I have to serve after 2 hours. I'm going to try Tonic BF BT7/4s at 50/50 (like the movie.) Tonic BT7 is SO STIFF at 55, I don't know if 52 or 53 is going to soften it up much. So I'm going straight to 50. Hope I don't waste a 1/2 set of gut.
