Sorry been off from work too long. That string looks a lot lighter in color than Grey Fire looks on a website which is the only place I have seen it. Happy holidays!!

Sure, would love to try that string especially in a hybrid with BK.
Oh well anyways where can you buy this string?Lol.

PM me.
Do you have BK?

Since everyone is about to hit this thread— any one play a bed of the thick 138 ALU yet?This RG ALU is not it.

I haven't ordered a set yet, but, to steal a great meme, "I want to go to there." [SNL/Tina Fey]
A looker but it sucksThis RG ALU is not it.

Have you dabbled with Rexxxer yet? - assuming that's the green reelIsospeed fairy has returned to Jollytown.

See post #95Where do you order these strings ? Isospeed’s own website is not very helpful.
Thank you. I tried googling it but found no links. Is that an online store or a Bricks and Mortar store only ?See post #95
I envisaged it as an elegant tall ship sailing the seven seas, your best bet though would be to direct message the captain himselfThank you. I tried googling it but found no links. Is that an online store or a Bricks and Mortar store only ?
I've put rpm in the mains, or as jolly said black Knight. Also no poly plays well after 8 hours. This one is above average thoughGuys, I require some assistance. I have a reel of 1.30mm gauge Grey Fire - I’m really into it and I do genuinely like it. I’m a prolific string breaker usually but this stuff seems pretty indestructible. I must have got 15-20 hours out of it at least, it is going thin in places now (just off centre in hitting zone) but it just doesn’t seem to want to pop.
It’s lovely when freshly re-strung but as it wears I’m less of a fan. I have a hard time kicking my second serve in which I’ve never had problems with before. My topspin forehand and single handed backhand are fine but lack a bit of a bit of oomph as the string becomes played in.
What would a sublime combination be with this string, I want durability as well as playability? Do I put the Grey Fire in the crosses or mains and do I drop my tension (normally do 56lbs).
P.S. I am a returner to tennis and had experience of Big Banger when I was a junior but the last 2 years I’ve been playing multis so I’m quite new to the poly world.
Many thanks!!
Which country are you trying to purchase from?I’m having a hard time getting hold of Black Knight, what would be a worthy substitute?

Just try it on its ownThanks for spotting my post! Basically, I’ve looked on Stringers World (I’m from England) but they are out of stock. I don’t know of any other UK based retailers who can sell me a reel. I obviously can use your European website but I need the reel fairly imminently and presumably it’ll take up to a 5-7 days?
P.S. What would you recommend to compliment Isospeed Grey Fire 1.30mm, mains/crosses and what tension? I’m used to multis at 56lbs, I hit with a lot of spin off both wings and I’m currently converting to the poly/co-poly world!
Tried some Jolly-inspired setups with Grey Fire.
The BK/GF hybrid is legit and produces a metric ****ton of spin. Hits a big ball. I found it a little harsh, and I couldn't get my serve dialed in for the life of me. Likely more my fault than the string's.
I really dig GF in a full bed though. Lots of pocketing, good spin for a round string, also hits a big ball. Bit more zip than I'm used to. Going to see how it settles and lasts, but it's the first string in a while that has a chance of tempting me away from Razor Code.
Both strung around 49# in a leaded up Ezone 98.
Piling on here to make the point ...I must have got 15-20 hours out of it at least
Best part about grey fire either in the BK hybrid or full bed is the very loud and clear "crack" sound it makes like a whip when you hit the ball! Very satisfying from a sensory perspective. When you hit the ball hard, it really feels like you are hitting the ball hard and are rewarded for it.
I’d love to. Where can you get this in the US?You should try Rexxxer!

What is the difference between Isospeed Black Fire and Grey Fire?
Anyone tried signum pro firestorm? Feels very similar to grey fire and though it’s a slight different colour, feels similar to it. People also saying head lynx tour is similar?
