no went straight on to hybrid as was a tad reluctant to have such a stiff full bed of lynx tour. Comfort? Yes, def more comfort

which soft poly are you using?Update on the journey… so had a 3 hours doubles leagues match with lynx tour 17 black / head syn gut black 1.25 50/52 … I wasn’t expecting such a distinct experience from previous setup lynx tour orange 1.25 and yptp yellow 1.20 50/48 - the former more control, more...

Update on the journey… so had a 3 hours doubles leagues match with lynx tour 17 black / head syn gut black 1.25 50/52 … I wasn’t expecting such a distinct experience from previous setup lynx tour orange 1.25 and yptp yellow 1.20 50/48 - the former more control, more dead, a lot less pocketing...

Cool so for future reference to the community this is the HL table for 27.5 inc racquets Eg an Ezone 100 Plus with 33.4 cms balance is 5 points HL HL 27.5 0 34.9 1 34.6 2 34.3 3 34.0 4 33.7 5 33.3 6 33.0 7 32.7 8 32.4 9 32.1

you meant 0.15 ? If one HL point higher equals to minus 0.015 then it doesn’t add up, unless I’m totally off with this

Guys On a 27.5 inc racquet is the info on this table re balance correct ? Looking for a correct balance point list for extended.. HL 0 34.94 1 34.62 3 33.99 4 33.67 5 33.35 6 33.03 8 32.40

Staying away from champagne.. I'm going to dabble between black and orange.. 17 and 18

Well… TW Europe !

well… racquets , tension , string bed setup.. always have to be considered. I only played with lynx tour on ezone 98+ as cross with gut mains and the orange I only played on Ezone 100+ on full bed or as mains. One thing for sure: orange is the most comfortable, packs a greater punch. The one I...

I played with all the colours. Orange is the more comfortable, more pop and yet having great control and spin. Grey is the stiffest, more muted, yet with the exact same characteristics. Natural is in between natural and orange. I really think Lynx Tour either full bed, crosses or mains is one of...

I believe YPTSpin is more shaped than Lynx Tour..

so I’m a big fan of lynx tour 1.25 orange on my Ezone 100+ . Because the 1.25 is indeed heavier and messes a bit with the already low head light (2 HL) I just bought the 1.20 black from TW. Did you guys suggest increasing tension due to being a thinner gauge ?

I wanted in 1.20 .. as head lynx tour is only on 17 and is quite heavy already! can’t find syn gut in blue!

Right - things are improving… lynx tour 17 orange mains at 50 with yptp blue 18 at 48 is a much good combo. Better control, same pocketing, the lynx tour does keep the ball long and in.. whereas a full bed of yptp 18 at 48 was very slippery, lacked bite and was too springy. after 4 league sets...

i was just watching a doubles match with Townsend and she’s moved to an Ezone 100 ? And what’s that dark orange/red string she’s using ?!

As it seems that everyone agrees that poly/synt gut is a more sensible approach in terms of playability and duration, I got myself looking into Babolat, Wilson, Volkl as it seems that only these brands offer it in 17g on blue colour which I love. Any preference or significant differences or...

a very good question which I don’t have answer for !

black code 4S ? Yonex frames?

yup, Ezone 100+ . Which soft syn gut at 1.20 or thinner would you recommend? For added comfort and power? I wanted to avoid putting VS 17 on crosses….

Lynx tour 1.25 at 47 mains / which soft synt gut at 1.20 or under , at 50 lbs ?

Hey guys had to share my experience from this weekend playing a leagues match. So to summarise I’ve moved from the 98+ VS17 56lbs / KMP 18 54 lbs to 100+ full bed of PTP 1.20 at 48/46. Summary: - EZ 100+ although HL 2 compared to HL5 for the EZ 98+ is a totally different racquet.. it feels...

Thanks guys, very useful debate !!

if 100+ is a more powerful frame why 44 instead of 45 as suggested for less powerful sister 98+ ?

Thought crosses lower would allow mains to move more freely and snap back + recommendation from Yonex for -2 lbs on their frames?

You mean 52/50 ?

On the last couple of years I’ve been using VS 17 / Lynx Tour 17 or KB Max Power 18 at 56/54 I’ve now decided to go full bed of poly as craving some better control and to be fair natural gut doesn’t last long over the winter in UK. I’ll start my journey with YPTP 1.2 and Cyclone 1.15 . I’ll...

interesting, I was just reviewing the data on TW strings compare and cyclone 1.15 has a tension loss of 30% compared to ptp of 33% and HPGS of 26% and in terms of stiffness cyclone 1.15 is 188 , ptp 1.20 is 189 and HPGS 17 is 195 On the paper it looks like PTP 1.2 is very cumular to Cyclone...

Right so on my new EZ 100 Plus which is a 16x19 powerful frame, which full bed delivers best comfort, control and tension maintenance/durability , not lowering HL, on the contrary Hyper G 18 Hyper G Soft 17 Volkl Cyclone 1.15 Yonex Poly Tour Pro 1.20

on an Ezone 100 Plus which is a 16x19 powerful frame, which full bed delivers best comfort, control and tension maintenance/durability : Hyper G 18 Hyper G Soft 17 Volkl Cyclone 1.15 Yonex Poly Tour Pro 1.20 thanks !

I've been playing for a year or so with VS 17 / LT 17 at 56/53 on my EZ 98+ ... I crave more forgiveness , whilst maintaining the power of the extended racquet. Hence the move to EZ 100+ and then moving away from gut mains... was recommended to go for LT 17 as it was familiar but strung at 48...
