    Hybrid suggestions for PS97 v14

    Hoping to get some stringing advice here for my Prostaff 97v14. I’ve been playing hybrid setups for the last year on these frames but I’m ready to try new string setups. For the longest time I’ve been typically doing cyclone 18 in the mains at 50lbs and gamma livewire pro or regular livewire 17...

    Arm friendly setup that snap back but hold tension for a long time?

    Am I looking for a unicorn? I am not a string breaker but hit with a lot of spin. Currently, I am using velocity mains/gosen ogsm crosses (51/49) but the string movement is making me crazy. I tried Luxilon element mains/multifeel crosses (50 lbs) before but they gave me elbow pain and the...

    Hybrid cross - Tier One Ghost Wire vs Babolat Synthetic Gut

    Both of these strings have fairly low friction to other strings and would be good for softening up the stringbed. I plan to string a thin gauge of Volkl Cyclone in the mains and these would be thin too, as I am not a string breaker. My question is not so much which is better (although feel free...

    Poly in Mains or Crosses? First-time poly/hybrid user

    I'm looking to get my strings done soon, coming from synthetic gut to multi/poly hybrid. I'm wondering if it makes more sense to put the poly in the mains or in the crosses. Lately, as my current strings have lost tension, I find the ball flying long more and more, which makes me think I should...

    Round mains/shaped crosses - poly/poly hybrids:

    First of all, I'm a long-time TT lurker who finally made an account. Secondly, I apologize if this topic has already been discussed in previous threads but I haven't seen it anywhere. I understand that most people on here who discuss poly/poly hybrids either like or prefer some sort of shaped...

    Best practice on hybrid strings tension

    I am considering putting in a hybrid setup with Hyper g 17 in mains, and Wilson Power 16 in the crosses. My interests are in comfort and spin. Do you have any recommendations on tension for both, or at least tension ratio? Should tension on poly or synthetic be higher, etc.? (e.g. poly 20%...

    Hybrid experiences

    Hi, I’m thinking of a way to reduce arm pain and costs been playing full poly but I pretend tostring my own raquets. Found a cheap not very stiff poly - polyfibre hightech premium 16G And I was thinking about hybrid it with Prince synthetic gut original 16G, really cheap. Alternative maybe the...

    Tennis String for Juniors?

    I know there have been threads of this in the past but I have a 13 year old . . . good player . . . plays about 20-30 tourneys a year. He has tried a few of the soft co-polys and then he tried the Wilson Revolve Twist strung at 52 in his Blade 98S. He fell in love with the string but I have...

    Poly Hybrid (shaped mains+round x's) or single type - Low tension

    Background: I'm experimenting with a new string setup in the Head Graphene Speed 360 MP & Speed 360 Pro. Moved to these frames from a Pure Aero because I wanted something more flexible and started using a poly main with a multi cross to help with comfort. I had been using Luxilon Alu Power...

    Ball hitting the squares of the stringbed diagonally - equal bounce?

    Do the mains and the crosses have equal bounce? Based on TW customer reviews I have strung two racquets with gut mains and nylon crosses at 2 lbs higher tension. The Blade 104 racquets are weighted to about 331 gm. Babolat VS 15L / Wilson Sensation Control 16 at 56 and 58 Babolat VS 17 /...

    How do you do hybrid combinations?

    I have never tried doing mains with one type of string and crosses for another and would like to try. My reason is because 90% of the time when I break strings its my main strings breaking. I want something durable for the mains (and arm friendly) and spin friendly for the crosses. I have a fast...
