I've settled on Volkl Cyclone 17 (Black) as my go-to string after much testing. There are only 2 issues I have with it:
1. The first hour of play feels too stiff and under-powered. If I go with a lower tension, it solves this problem but the string bed becomes too loose and launchy from the 2nd...
Hi, I've been following this great forum for quite some time and learned a whole lot.
Now I'm really excited to get some expert help on my big riddle as the league year is approaching for my club in germany.
I'm a counterpunch defense player with emphasis on spin and slice shots, used to play...
Hi guys,
I'm a dutch former teaching pro looking for the ideal string setup op my prince 93p 14x18. My style of play is an allcourt game with very high ball speeds. I control the ball with a combination of launch angle and spin. My baseline strokes have a rather flat trajectory, while still...
Hey guys. I was researching this and there seems to be two camps on this. I have a Gravity Pro which falls under the "18 x 20 low powered" racquet category. I am experimenting with tensions. I use Volkl Cyclone mostly. I have always strung above 52lbs but I have read ppl suggest that under 50 is...
I recently started using Volkl Cyclone 18g on both of my Head Radical MPA rackets, strung at 57 lbs (the recommended range on my racket is 48-57 lbs}. I like the string A LOT and now need to replace them on both rackets because of wear, as the "texture" has worn out, and I am not getting the...
Hi guys. I am a fan of the Volkl Psycho string set. I would like to know how you guys use it in your racquets? I am still on the fence if I want to continue using it or a full bed of Cyclone. Thanks.
I just bought a Head Graphene 360 Speed Pro and had it strung with Solinco Tour Bite (54lbs). I took a gamble since the company I purchased the racquet from did not have Volkl Cyclone strings which are my usual strings. Anyhow, after I tried the racquet for the first time, I was really...
Hi all,
I am a 38 years old player (R6/R7 in Switzerland, US equivalent NTRP ~4.0) and I play tennis since about 5 years including tournaments with license.
I use (3x) Head Youtek Extreme Pro (350g strung, 310 mm balance point, grip L5). I like to play aggressive with spin, sometimes serve and...
Hi everyone... I can get a reel of cyclone 18L or a reel of rpm blast 18 for roughly the same price. What do you thing about both strings? What should be my choice if both cost me the same. I usually play with and hybrid of VS gut 16 Main / rpm 17 crosses but during winter that is not an...
I have just gotten back to playing tennis this year after a long hiatus and am trying out new strings for the first time in a long time. (I am a strong 4.0 player, most likely be back up to 4.5 again by years end. Heavy spins and big kick serve) I currently have Revolution 17g and Cyclone...
Most gauges for Cyclone have the option of black, orange, and yellow (Looks like 18g is the only one with pink). Has anyone tested out multiple string colors and noticed any difference in playability? Is control affected? Any difference in spin? Play duration? Also, are there any other big...
Is there one guy that tested the new Black Code Fire or Lime ?
I heard the Fire would be like the Volkl orange Cyclone (that I prefer to the black one) and the lime like a Revolve spin green. Some reviews would be welcome !
