    Clash V2 Switch Poly to Multi?

    I’m the same, strung my V2 with full bed of Alu Power @52lb and got a bit of TE. I luckily kept one of my V1’s so reverted back to that at the moment with hybrid of Ice Code and Rip Control. Will try Natural Gut in the V2 when it stops raining in the UK

    Wilson Clash string setup and at what tension

    I hit quite flat too. I have tried many strings in my Clash 100. I‘m currently using TIer One FireWire / Ghostwire at 53lb, it’s good. In my other one I’m currently trying Mayami Tour Hex, which is also playing nicely. I have just cut out Tecnifibre Triax, that was very comfortable and...

    Clash 98

    I would definitely give Tecnifibre Triax a try in your Clash. Although it’s a multi it play a bit nearer to a poly. I use it in my Clash 100 and find it plays well and is arm friendly. I have previously suffered with TE when I played with a stiffer racket.

    Inexpensive, arm-friendly poly?

    Ghost Wire is awesome

    Favorite TRU PRO (formerly Tier One Sports) main?

    I have just put my first set of Tier One strings in my Clash 100. FireWire mains with Ghostwire crosses, absolutely love it, exactly the string set up I have been chasing.

    String for Wilson Clash 100

    I’ve been playing with Triax in my Clash 100, really like it but at the price I’m not sure I will stay with it as it doesn’t look like it will last very long. my demo Clash was strung with element at 55lb and I loved it, but when I strung mine with element it didn’t feel the same. My other...

    Official Wilson Clash thread

    I have yet to find the right string set up for my 100. Demo had Luxilon element at 25kg, but even using same string and tension not got the same feel. I’ve tried Luxilon Smart @ 48lb, hated it, I have one with Babolat Touch VS/Blast at 52lb, jury is still out. The one set up I haven’t changed as...

    Thanks for the reply. I will try the suggestions and pretty sure the lower tension will be the key.

    Clash 100

    I've recently changed from a Yonex DR98 to a Clash 100, and loving the racket. The demo was strung with Element at 25kg and felt great, when I purchased one I strung it the same but it just doesn't feel quite same. I'm normally a Poly/Syn gut set up, but was going to try Gut/Poly in it. Any...

    Signum Pro Strings Yellow Jacket and X-Perience

    Big fan of Signum strings, I use a lot on customers rackets. I also use X-Perience in my own rackets with syn gut crosses, a decent arm friendly set up.

    Definitely, no other options

    16x18 Head Radical

    There is no doubt it’s a cheap racket, but it’s definitely 16x18. It’s a 1 piece string job only by the look of it.

    16x18 Head Radical

    It is similar to that, but newer model I guess. Looking at it again the only way to string it as a 2 piece is to open out some grommets. 7T & 5H are the only double grommets

    16x18 Head Radical

    I’ve had a Head Radical 27 16x18 racket arrive for a restring. Customer wants a hybrid but I cannot find any Stringing info on this racket. It’s currently strung as a one piece. Does anyone know the recommended tension range for this racket or if it can be done as a 2 piece. Looking at the...

    Wise Gripper

    The gripper on my WIse head is not returning to open, so I keep having to push it back to get the string in each, and it’s annoying. It feels like it’s needs some maintenance. Has anyone come across this and have a fix. Thanks

    Good Value Multi

    Looking for suggestions on a good quality, but good value multi to stock as a reel. Don't do much stringing with multi with my current customers but seem to have had a run on them with some new customers. Had a few rackets in with Babaolat Excel, but it is expensive IMO for what it is. Thanks

    Power String for Wilson

    Hi Any one recommend a power string for a Wilson K Factor. Had a racket dropped off with a request for a power string. Can drop the tension for the customer, but was thinking maybe a different string may help him Thanks

    What strings do you have in stock the most?

    I only stock two brands, both British as I want to promote them, so its RAB strings, which pretty much cover all, and everyone i have strung for with RAB has really liked it. I also stock Tennis Tech strings. If customers want a big brand string, I can get it pretty quickly.

    Advice on Starter Machine

    I've now sold my Pros Pro and buying a String Profi-69 I think. I have a RB1000 with a Wise on it, on offer, but may rule it out after some advice.

    Advice on Starter Machine

    I know if I put a Wise on my XP, I will still want a better machine at some point, so going for a better machine first. Nothing other than that, the XP works fine, I've done a good few racquets on it.

    Advice on Starter Machine

    I started stringing on an XP Plus last year, still got it, its a great starter machine. I always planned to upgrade at some point, and did debate putting a Wise on my current machine, but have decided to buy another manual machine, then add a Wise to this. My XP Plus is going on sale next week.
