How can you get a good comparison of what a string is really like when you hybrid it ? Thank you to all those play testers who used the Klip in a full string bed.
This couldn't be more wrong. When doing a hybrid you actually isolate the qualities of a string rather than muffaling it. So I "personally" feel like your criticisms are total nonsense.That may be so, Its just my personal opinion so don't take it personally. I "personally' feel hybridising a string( when testing it) depletes the purpose. However there may be some people that like different combinations. I just feel It must be hard to decipher 'what' string is doing 'what' in a hybrid. Personally I like to see how a string performs on its own, So i thank those that did this, I don't mean to offend anyone who chooses not to do this. Each to there own.
is there any need to be nasty?? I just personally prefer to hear what a string is like in a full bed. Settle down and chill outThis couldn't be more wrong.

I tried to help this person initailly and he just became an awful troll!
No offense meant. Cheers.is there any need to be nasty?? I just personally prefer to hear what a string is like in a full bed. Settle down and chill out
No offence meant yet you called me a troll?? I actually thought of hybridising Klip with NXT or NRG-2 however for the moment I have changed my mind . I would love to hybrid with a poly however I have on and off TE so cant. I have just started using full gut but have trouble getting as much top spin. as I am used to when I used to use polys So I am very curious to know if others have this problem. I was also curious to know the tension others played a full bed of klip with, hence me personally liking full gut bed reviews. I don't pretend to be a expert and am learning all the time, Anyhow this is a interesting thread and I will not hijack it, CheersNo offense meant. Cheers.
But Ive got gut on 2 frames by doing the hybrid! [emoji41]

To answer your question... For me, I simply switched out the NXT that I normally used with the Klip at the exact same tension, and could judge the performance that way. I know what to expect from my usual poly/NXT set up, so noticing differences with the gut was really easy. I've also used gut in poly hybrids for years, so I can use that as a baseline judgement as well.How can you get a good comparison of what a string is really like when you hybrid it ?

Thanks for that,, Are you saying you used to Hybrid Klip and NXT. If so i would like to know how you found it, CheersTo answer your question...

I kind of thought the same way you did in terms of doing a hybrid vs full bed play test, but ultimately decided on doing the hybrid because that seems to be what most of the posters on here are using gut for. I had originally thought I would string up another racquet with the gut in the mains, but didn't have the time available to properly review it. I might still do it and give my "unofficial" review in a couple weeks.
No I used the Klip in a hybrid with ALU Power, but I usually hybrid the ALU with NXT. So essentially by having the same mains for both set ups, I was easily able to judge the performance of the Klip, as it was the variable in the test, and the ALU was the constant.Thanks for that,, Are you saying you used to Hybrid Klip and NXT.

Ok I misunderstood, I would love to cross Klip with AU power rough however I cant because I have TE, Its a lot better since I have been using gut . I am new to gut only a few weeks (2 wks Klip-4 weeks babolot v touch full bed in different rackets) however I feel I played a lot better when I was using the polys. So anyhow when You cross gut with a poly won't the poly go dead before the gut breaks? or does the gut prolong the life of the poly" I wouldn't want to cut gut out because of dead polys, its to expensive. I have tried timo 110 crossed with a mulit I liked it a lot at first but it went dead fast and did hurt my elbow,No I used the Klip in a hybrid with ALU Power, but I usually hybrid the ALU with NXT.

Have you tried using gut in the mains and poly in the crosses? That will soften the feel of the poly a bit. The poly does lose tension quicker than the gut, but I feel that having them in the crosses, you don't nice it as much because the gut is the primary string determining playability.Ok I misunderstood, I would love to cross Klip with AU power rough however I cant because I have TE, Its a lot better since I have been using gut .

I am to scared to use polys even at a low tension at the moment. I have improved my TE a lot I don't want to go back to square one, I know the best cure is to out right stop tennis all together for a few weeks/mths however I am trying to avoid doing that.Have you tried using gut in the mains and poly in the crosses?

Well make sure you're icing and using ibuprofen as well. Also work on strengthening the arm.I am to scared to use polys even at a low tension at the moment.

I hate how this wasn't obvious.No I used the Klip in a hybrid with ALU Power, but I usually hybrid the ALU with NXT. So essentially by having the same mains for both set ups, I was easily able to judge the performance of the Klip, as it was the variable in the test, and the ALU was the constant.
For FB I would 58 is about perfect. (Klip is crisper than bab)I’ve recently started having elbow pain, so I’m reevaluating my setup. I was previously playing with a PS one7 with full beds of soft polys at 48lbs. I sold the PS’s and decided to switch to the vcore 97 310.
Now I’m trying to figure out what to string it up with. I bought both 16g and 17g Klip a couple weeks ago. I’m thinking of starting off with a full bed with the 17g for now until my elbow is completely healed. Can anyone help recommend a tension to start with? I’m thinking maybe ~58lbs, but really just guessing since I have never played with gut.
