Lynx Tour best head string ever !!

J011yroger · May 7, 2020

Gut mains perfect, ALU crosses broken.

jmacdaununder2 · May 7, 2020

Could've been grit from the court on the balls?

J011yroger · May 13, 2020

Strung up two frames with Gut/ALU.

Broke the ALU crosses in both with the gut mains in perfect condition.

J

mctennis · May 13, 2020

Will you just restring the crosses or restring it all?

Breaking crosses is a regular thing for you? If not, ALU duds? Just seems unusual that both racquets went out on the crosses and the mains are pristine.

P.S:
My OCD has kicked in and I'm now looking at my pressure washer and broom for cleaning that gutter area in your picture, just so you know.

WilPro · May 14, 2020

Hey Jolly,

I see you are testing a lot of stuff. Isn't that ruining your style?

I mean you have to adapt every time to a new frame, a new string. Isn't that a bit nasty?

Love ALU but durability is awful on them. Not sure how many hours you got out of yours.

I didn’t care for lynx so what does the tour version have to offer?

I was on the play test for TW (link here). It was the Head Experimental Tour, later named Lynx Tour. It is very slightly shaped, not too jagged edged like some other shaped polys and I felt it played closer to round polys than shaped ones. Very soft and comfortable and it made for a very consistent stringbed (unlike regular Lynx which I felt was somewhat erratic). I liked this Lynx Tour, would definitely recommend you give it a shot since you like trying out different strings!

SteveI · May 25, 2020

Really nice string...nice price point also!

Really nice offering and good pricing! Head did a great job on this one!

Regular Lynx bloas. I am prepared to dub this the best poly Head has ever made (although that is a statement analogous to being the skinniest kid in fat camp.)

@J011yroger any possibility for a review of RPM power? I didn’t scroll through all 33 pages so I’m assuming you haven’t reviewed it.

Grey Fire every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

I reviewed it pretty recently.

The short version is that it sucks.

Thoughts on lynx tour (champagne/experimental) compared to bbo/alu/ptp?

Been playing with bbo in 6.1 and it's a dream. However switching to the ezone 98 it doesn't quite have the same mass that the wilsons have. I've ordered a few strings to try them out.

Thing with my yonex switch is that they don't have the same mass, but i've switched because it's lighter and because i've got 3 of them and won't have to worry about babying them.

Just trying to see what's out there and just want something easier on the arm whilst still getting good comfort. Although bbo was stiff I never got any tingling or anything.

I've got both sets coming and i'm not sure what tension they were in my wilsons because they came pre strung

What would you recommend? (ezone 98 2020)

Not at good as Luxilon, better than PTP which is awful. Better than any Yonex poly for that matter.

Hey Jolly, any review for RPM rough with nat gut in the main, and comparison to alu power 17? Sorry if it's here, but there's a bit to go through.

Guy kills thick gauge full poly in under an hour. Full bed gut will just snap in terror the moment he holds his racquet up.

how would you compare Grey Fire to Alu Power? how about durability?

landcookie · May 27, 2020

Hey @J011yroger, am thinking of trying out Black Knight. How would you say it compares to Hyper G, Yonex Poly Tour Pro, or Element?

Have you ever tried any Kirschbaum offerings?

It's on par with Adrenaline not as good as ALU.

Those are all very different strings, just try BK and if you don't like it cut it out.

Gah, talked to the Aus rep and they don't stock BK 1.28. Not even going to bother with 1.23 as I know it won't last.

Any similar alternatives to suggest?

Interested in Solinc Confidential. I've read the playtest thread will be picking that up. From what I've read it's in between Hyper G and Tour Bite.
