    Hi everyone, I’m a returning player who's just entered my 50s, and I could really use some help dialing in a string setup for my Head Speed Legend MP 2025. A bit of background: I played seriously for 10+ years as a kid, then had a long break and picked it back up recently. My game is very much...

    Best Racket ? Ezone 100 L 2025

    Bonjour à tous ! Je suis là pour vous parler de la raquette Ezone 100L 2025 (285 g). Après avoir essayé des dizaines et des dizaines de raquettes, je pense avoir enfin trouvé la perle rare ! J'étais un peu perdu quant à ce que je recherchais : une raquette axée sur le contrôle, une raquette...

    First hybrid setup

    I'm a 4.0, quick all court player. I've been playing with a Pure Drive and Head Velocity 54lb for a few years. They last around 20h before they break. Been interested to try a hybrid setup but everything feels like a big mess with so many options, what type of poly, if it should be in the main...

    What to put in crosses for poly hybrid

    So my brother (who doesn’t play much anymore) has an almost full reel of Kirschbaum Pro line II (1.25). And I really like how it plays (spin) and feels (especially the control). Problem is it destroys (a little) my arm and particularly my shoulder. What should I hybrid with it (poly @ 50-51...

    PRO'S PRO KINGUT PRO

    I am thinking about using Pro’s Pro Kingut Pro 1.26 in hybrid as crosses to some mains poly. Since it is going to crosses, I am not very concern about its performance, just trying to tame the poly a little. I was wondering how is your experience with this string, playability, durability, tension...

    Question for experienced stringers — bringing response of one poly to another with tension

    This is a question for experienced stringers who have tried and experienced things I am about to ask: I strung one Speed MP with a poly/poly hybrid of Hyper G 17/ Co-focus 17L at 49/47. I strung another with Focus Hex 17L / Co-focus 17L at 50/48. While Focus Hex in 17L is supposedly much...

    Blade 93 (2013) string setup in 2025

    First time posting. What strings/string set up would you all recommend for this racquet? Been playing with the Blade 93 for the past 12 years and have tried numerous string set ups. For the majority of the time, I was using full bed multi (isospeed energetic, PPC, Addixion, Multifeel) which...

    Pros/Cons on using thinner crosses

    Hi all, I’m in the tennis offseason, looking to maybe check out a different string setup or two. I’m currently using Diadem Solstice Black 1.20 in a Pro Staff Six.One 95, and my thoughts first ventured to putting Diadem Flash in the crosses (Diadem sponsors my school, if you’re wondering why...

    What should i hybrid the Weiss Cannon Ultra Cable with?

    I'm currently using Yonex Vcore 100 2023 with Solinco Confidential 16L 1,25mm on full bed 50lbs. I'm doing fine with this setup, but i'm looking to create more spin. I'm a casual player, play doubles most of the time. Now I'm getting the Weiss Cannon Ultra Cable 17 1,23mm. Should i pair it...

    First time using NG/Hybrid

    I normally use Rzr code soft w/ either Toroline Snapper at 44# but as I've been playing more S&V, it was suggested to try Gut. I had used a full bed 5-6 years ago and wasn't too impressed then (can't remember the exact brand) but was willing to give it a shot using Snapper as a cross. Snapper...

    Poly Multi Hybrid Stringing question for durability and arm problems

    Hello all, been a long time follower of these threads and reading as much as I can. Realized my arm can’t handle poly anymore, or maybe it never could haha. Anyways, I’m looking to switch to a poly multi hybrid. I play a 98 yonex vcore 305g weighted up with a leather grip and 2g lead at the top...

    An excellent hybrid — MSV Focus Hex Soft w. MSV Swift

    I came to this hybrid by looking for a very spinny setup, with the great tension maintenance, all while being very arm friendly. I moved to MSV Focus Hex Soft (FHS) 17 because I wanted a bit more tension maintenance and spin than what I had with Dunlop Black Widow 17. I found FHS unbelievably...

    What other string rough that are just like the TCS rough?

    Hey all, as you can tell by now "rough" in tennis strings are very very very vague. I'm new to poly rough strings. I'm looking for the same "rough" as the "rough" in the TCS Rough. I just prefer this kind of "rough" over all the other "rough". What I'm not looking for are the shaped string...

    Gut crosses notching super early in Poly/Gut hybrid

    Hi, I tried both a gut/poly and poly/gut hybrid for the first time, and after a few weeks, i preferred the characteristics of the poly mains, however there was insane notching after just a few hours. The poly was basically drilled far into the gut, and really decreased the spin potential. On...

    Solinco Confidential/Vanquish Recommended Tension

    Hey guys, Just bought a reel of Solinco Vanquish to hybrid with my Solinco Confidential in Yonex Ezone 98 Tour and wondering what is a good tension for both. I typically use full bed Solinco Confidential in the range of 47-50 lbs. It is my first time using a hybrid setup and not sure if I...

    Crosses for Tier One Black Knight 18g (1.18): scenarios for distal bicep tenderness

    Been stupidly playing full bed BK 16g (21kg) in Vcore 95 for a solid 6-month period and my bicep tendon is asking me to switch things up. I'll be using Velocity MLT 16g for the time being. But as I was thinking of transitioning back to BK, I'd like some opinions on some of the hybrid setups...

    Best gut hybrid for RF97A (especially crosses)?

    I'd like to put the first gut hybrid on my RF97A. I want to use Luxilon Natural Gut 1.30 for mains (I had a great feel with full bed on the RF97A already). But I'm unsure about the Poly for the crosses (and I don't want to mess it up). So I was thinking the following... - probably best to use...

    Crosses for Poly Mains

    Currently on Ezone 100 Plus - mains are Lynx Tour orange 17 which is a fantastic poly string strung at 48lbs. As I don’t want to go any lower on tension so that I don’t compromise on control, what would be the best multifilament for the crosses to soften the string bed, make it more comfortable...

    Isospeed Control Classic mains poly crosses tension question

    Has anyone control classic (or professional classic) as the mains in a poly hybrid? I had switched to Control Classic to get over some arm issues, which have since resolved. I have gotten pretty used to playing with it, but I would like to see if I can get a bit more spin out of my setup. So...

    RPM Blast "hybrid": 18 in Mains, 17 in crosses

    Hey everyone, After reading the 18 gauge (1.20mm) customer reviews of RPM Blast and considering I'm not destroying my 17 gauge strings in 10 hours (I should hit harder and spinnier, I know), would an 18g mains (for bite) and a 17g crosses (for control?) a good mix? Apparently, a full bed of 18...

    Wet/damp Weather alternative to Wilson Champions Choice

    Hi All, I currently use the Wilson Champions choice hybrid and I am loving it. However, I am reluctant to play with it when it is raining or when it is damp as I’ve heard natural gut will easily break if it is exposed to water. Is the any alternatives to Wilson Champion’s choice that can be...

    Gut / poly hybrid - same tension or differential?

    Hi all, What tension differential do you all recommend in a gut / poly hybrid setup? Most ATP players seem to string 2-4 lbs higher on the gut mains than the poly crosses, but they also switch to fresh strings before the poly loses much tension. I've been using a 2 lbs differential (mains...
