polyester

Hey guys, been wondering what are some good soft polys on the market right now you’d recommend. Long story short, I hurt my hand back in march and have been dealing with some sort of strain/tendinitis that I thought had been mostly healed (about 95% healed?) and hadn’t been playing with much...

If you haven’t yet, and you are a full bed polyester user, I encourage you to experiment with dropping tensions. I see no drop off in performance, but an uptick in comfort and consistency over the life of my string bed, maybe a little more power, but not a huge loss of control (either depth or...

Hey all, Been playing with Confidential for about 4-5 years now. I really enjoy it, and I'm not necessarily looking to switch, but I also like to try out new strings once in a while in case something new catches my eye. I just switched to the Pure Aero so I figure it's a good time to look...

Hello, I have noticed in my tennis game that I have an extremely short swing motion ([semi]-western grip, small grip size and a lot of wrist action) and therefore produce a lot of spin but little power. As this is my natural swing and all attempts to change it with the trainer failed, I thought...

The common wisdom goes polys should be cut out after a few weeks tops, as they are completely dead, while multi/gut can stay in your racquet till they pop. However, with polys closer to multi/gut tension maintenance such as Luxilon 4G, Kirschbaum Max Power, Head Lynx Tour, etc., does this still...

I’ve just uncovered a small stash of 4 sets of this string In 17gauge I think its been discontinued. Does anyone have any idea if its been renamed, or why it has ceased production - any comments on this string, good bad or ugly, would be appreciated.

I already have so many strings in my box to test out, but seeing all these great reviews makes me want to test some of these smaller brands, (I didn't include ProsPro just because I don't have access to it). I know there are already individual threads on each brand, but curious to hear from...

Any suggestions for polyester strings on the more powerful side? Thanks

Years ago, I had an amazing experience with Luxilon M2 Pro. Since then, they've been discontinued, and I haven't been able to capture that same amazing experience with any other string. What are the closest strings to the M2 Pro that I should try out?

I am thinking of buying a reel of Kirschbaum Super Smash as a cheap but playable poly. Any suggestions?

What is your favorite Kirschbaum string? Why? What does it compare to?

EDIT: The strings that I used were gamma IO string 15L, strung at 58 lbs. I am playing with the RF97 autograph and tried the thickest polyester string 'It feels so dead and hitting a rock, not a tennis ball. When I try my usual topspin forehand, even with so much effort, the ball keeps falling...

2 Head pro Tour racquets coming my way. I will start with Volkl Cyclone (16 g) + Head Velocity MLT hybrid (17 G) and will string one racquet with Mult mains and the other racquet multi crosses. Has anybody tried this configuration? My assumption is that I will be liking multi crosses more...

Hi everyone. I’ve registered to this forum to see what string advice can you give me: I’ve recently returned to tennis after a 10 year hiatus. I was a consistent club player by the time I gave it up. I’m an all court player, with a 1hbh. I’m aggressive, and like to open angles and attack short...

My first criteria for choosing strings is playability duration and then spin. This criteria led me to a full bed of Ashaway Kevlar 18g @40lbs in terms of feel and spin; I love seeing the fuzz in the air after ripping a forehand. But yeah had wrist and elbow discomfort and cut it out. Went back...

Hi, Right now I'm playing with a full bed of Black Code 4S strung at 50lb. However after 2-4 hours of gameplay, my arm will usually start to feel more sore. My racket is the RF 97 Autograph one btw. So I'm looking for ways to make it more comfortable. Right now I'm thinking of stringing it...

I was playing with Tennisoutlet Orange Tiger 1.25 (which is a Signum Pro Poly Plasma replica made by Isospeed) in the last time. I was really really getting to like this string in the last time, but now I don't have more from this, but I was bought three Head Sonic Pro 1.25 because I used this...
