Wondering if there has been any news regarding new colourways of popular racquets coming in 2025. I have a Yonex Percept 97 and I am holding out in hope they will release a new paint job with the same specs.
Can anyone comment on the differences or similarities in the performance characteristics (stiffness, tension maintenance, power, overall feel, etc) between Solinco TB, Confidential, and Revolution as it pertains to the thinner gauges? Namely, 1.15 mm gauge or less
l love Tour bite on my old Ezone100 (55lbs)
But on my Vcore98 (54lbs) feels super stiff and low powered
I tried Head Linx Tour and I hated it .. was over powered and even at 56lbs felt like a trampoline freshly strung
What string should I put on my vcore98?
- Hyper g?
- Confidential?
What...
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...

Hey guys, interested in buying Yonex Polytour Strike 17 gauge. I currently use Solinco Confidential 17 gauge and love it but kind of want to go full Yonex
For context, I use Yonex Ezone 98 Tour and am looking for a control string that will not hurt my arm and will have good tension...
Hey guys,
Thinking about changing string setup for my Yonex Ezone 98 Tour. I am currently using Solinco Confidential at 50 lbs and was initially thinking about switching to Yonex Polytour Pro. However I have played with that string a couple years ago and thought it was maybe a little too...
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...
Currently using Solinco Confidential in a Yonex Ezone 98 Tour (2020) version. Thinking about switching to a softer poly/co-poly setup to preventatively maintain my arm so I don't get sidelined with tennis elbow/other arm injuries. I currently don't have any arm pain and love my current setup (I...

Hi guys. I am opening a small shop at our tennis club and would like to get some string suggestions. I dont have the space (and i dont feel its necessary) to stock 50+ strings.
i would like suggestions on the following categories:
1. Power
2. Control
3. Soft Poly
4. Multi/Syn Gut (lots of older...
I love the consistency, spin, and control of Solinco Confidential, however I do notice it being fairly firm. Does anyone know of any strings that grab/grip the ball as well as Solinco Confidential but are softer? My thinking is Solinco Hyper-G however, it is certainly a bit more muted of a...
Using a Babolat Pure Aero VS and considering the Diadem Solstice Black 17g string - but looking to get some feedback on how this string relates to RPM or Confidential? Any advice would be appreciated!
Hey guys,
Looking to change from Solinco Confidential to a hybrid set-up in a 2020 Yonex Ezone 98 Tour. Heard a lot of good things about Gosen, interested in hybriding Gosen OG Sheep Micro 16 with either 17 gauge Polyon or Sidewinder. What are the differences between the strings and which one...
Hey guys, looking for a string to go with my Yonex Ezone 98 Tour (2020 version) and settled on either Yonex Polytour Pro or Solinco Confidential (both 17 gauge). Just kind of looking for some opinions on the power, comfort, feel, spin potential, durability, and any other characteristics of the...
Hi guys
I’ve been stringing the Yonex VCore HD 97 18x20 with Hyper G at about 47-48 in the mains and ice code on the crosses. Feels somewhat plasticy and as the racquet is already quite soft it feels like there’s too much flex on the ball and the hit doesn’t feel solid. What would you recommend...
Saw a good deal for Mayami Tour Hex and Magic Twist also GRAPPLESNAKE CES Neon Dust/Liquid Neon, but never played with them.
At the moment I'm playing with Hyper G 1.20 in my ET(it's alright, maybe sometimes a bit unpredictable, but the spin is fantastic), but would like to hear your thoughts on...
Do you have any good recommendations for Extreme Tour when it comes to strings? Been using the tour bite soft 1.25 for some time but it feels a little bit dead at times in this stringbed, besides TBS I also have Pros pro Black Force 1.24 and 1.30 that are from my tournament days circa 2007. Was...
Hello Everyone, I use Solinco Confidential 17 on my VCORE 95 but was wondering if others had any opinions on other strings close to that setup? How would Tour Bite fair when compared to Solinco Confidential? Any info would be great!
Thanks

Hey guys! I've recently taken up tennis again as a hobby, and I've been playing regularly for the last 3 months, (4 times a week, typically 90 minute sessions 1 on 1 with a hitter).
I was using a my old crappy cheap Prince racquet untill I played enough to make an upgrade. I recently bought a...
I am going to buy a vcore pro 97 after testing and loving it, but I do not know which string to strung, I saw that this frame does not work well with hyper g or you need to strung with different tensions.
Please help me
I'm mostly playing with Solinco Confidential 125mm. on my Blade V7 (16x19), 98" which I string @ 24/23kg.
I like this in a full bed, but wonder if I could get even better performance with:
1. Hybrid? What would you suggest to cross it with? at what tension?
2. Thinner gauge? How thin?
3. Any...
I remember in the 90s and 2000s, the majority of players used to have their string provider's stencilled onto the bottom of the racquet, underneath the stencil logo of their racquet e.g. Sampras used a Wilson racquet so had a 'W' stencilled on his racquet and below was the Babolat stencil lines...
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...
Old topic, new thread! What are some good poly to try for this string pattern in your opinion? I'm trying to look around for ideas to string my Head MG Radical MP. My priorities, in order from high to low, are: power, spin potential, overall cost (price + how long each sj last), control (since...
Just watched a video announcing Hyper G Soft and a yet to be named sky blue textured poly. Anyone have any intel on this or know the release date of the former?
