string advice

Hi there! Just wanted to get your feedback, fellas, about string setup for Pure Aero 100. Currently, I'm using Head Lynx Tour 1.25 (black) at 21/20 kg, but wanted to try something else to get new feelings. Also, I've noticed Head Lynx Tour has less power than I expected. So, what are your...

Hey TW fam - I need some string advice. Little bit about me; 5.0 player, 35 y.o., customize and string my own racquets. All court player, like hit on the flat side. Currently playing with Yonex 97H. Sometimes play around Wilson Pro Staff 95, or a radical that I've weighted to similar specs...

I'm a high school player and I've been trying to find a setup most similar to the gut and Alu Rough hybrid used by so many counterpunchers on the tour. I'm thinking putting Diadem Solstice Black in the mains for the softer string and so it'll have more ball bite for spin, but I am not the...

I use GW as a cross to soften the stringbeds on PA98 , I would like to have your advice for strings with similar attributes to try . I sesarched in the forum but all the threds were super specific about a tring to compare . I restring by myself and I search mostly for other attributes but of...

This is my third thread in span of half an hour. Hope that doesnt break some rules. I was away from this forum for a long time, so I have a lot to share :) Anyways - very recently I bought Wilson Blade 100 V9. I must admit, I totally fell for the reviews on TW suspecting most of it was pure...

Hi all, I am looking for a new string setup for my 2023 PA98. I am currently using Hyper-G 17 and Restring Sync 17 @ 51lbs. I am thinking about the following setups at around high 40's: - Confidential 16 - TP BK 16 - Grapplesnake Tour M8 16 For reference I am around a USTA 3.5/4.0 aggressive...

I was stringing my racquet 2 piece with a bit larger gauge of poly string and to avoid a blocked hole at the top, I decided to pre-weave the first two crosses before tensioning my last main. I was so focussed on making sure the weaves were correct that I ended up brainlessly releasing one of...

Hey everyone, I recently started learning to string my own rackets using a six-point manual crank machine, but I’ve noticed something odd. Every time I string my own racket, the string bed tends to vibrate a lot during hitting, and the vibration travels all the way down to the handle, which...

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...

I’m curious to hear from both stringers and players: what do you think matters most when it comes to racket stringing and customization? Personally, I don’t mind waiting a bit longer (multiple days) if the job’s done right. Clean string spacing, consistent tension, tidy knots, etc. those...

So I recently picked up a Rafa Origin and I think given the spec (High power and spin) I wanna start by a more control oriented string to balance it out and after some research it seems like RPM Blast is best paired with this racquet however RPM Blast is knows for losing its spark after just a...

Currently im using 18 x 20 blade V8 with rpm blast on it(Strung at 48lbs). I feel like the racket is lack of power, control is fine. so im considering to hybrid that rpm blast with other strings, but i didnt know what. any recommendation?

Hi all, I'm at a 4.0 level and have been playing with poly for 10 years. Now I realize I barely restring my racquet (2-3 times a year) and the playability of the polys is probably not doing me a favor. I've never had any arm issues or tennis elbow Right now I am playing with a Babalot pure...

I recently tried Toroline Wasabi. This was my best string I've ever used. Now I'm thinking about trying Toroline Wasabi / Wasabi X. How they differ in terms of power, spin and control? Thank you for reading!!

After many years I upgraded to the Head Speed Pro racket, and it vibrates a lot when a ball is hit near the top. Could this be due to the racket's make/model or how it was strung? Used Head Hawk 16/1.30 Strings and not sure how tight they were strung as I can't find it on the order info.

I will buy Tecnifibre tfight 300s (open pattern). I am thinking about what string to buy. Please recommend a tecnifibre string for tfight 300s. String and racket that I felt were good. - Yonex poly tour pro 1.20 - Weiss cannon ultra cable - Solinco hyper G - Yonex ezone98 - Head speed String...

Looking for some guidance on what type of strings I should be. Here's a bit more about my game and preferences: Power player with lots of pace looking to improve ball control and placement. My shots do not always go where I want them Play 2-3x per week and would like to avoid restringing more...

Hey everyone, This is my first post here, so apologies if this is the wrong section. I’m a competitive college tennis player with a level around 4.5-5.0 (sorry we don’t use NTRP ratings in my country). I’m switching from Babolat Pure VS 2022 to the Yonex Percept 97D because it really...

Hello, Do you guys put any weight on what the official manufacturer recommends as the specific string type and model for their racquets? I've been eyeing on a few new racquets and am left wondering how to string them from the hundreds of different options. Let's take an example of the Pro...

Hi! First time stringer, using an Alpha Axis Pro. I have the basics down and have calibrated the machine. No trouble with the mains (tried 2 string job) but ran into issues with finding room to tie off the starting crosses (there is just not enough room in the grommet to push through the tie...

I'm an intermediate player who has acquired these poly strings below and looking for recommendations on a hybrid setup. I haven't broken a poly string ever. I'm more of a spinner but can hit big sometimes. I also often put spin on my first serves. My favorite and regular racket is the Yonex...

Hello, I'd like to ask the forum if anyone can compare the Yonex Polytour Pro and the Head Hawk Touch for me. I have been using Hawk Touch for a while now in my Head Speed Pro (g360+) and just moved to a Yonex Percept 97. Since the Percept is already soft enough on impact I'm not appreciating...

Hi All, Looking for some advice! I’m currently a UTR 4.5. I play relatively flat shots and like a setup which offers lots of control and low launch angles. My biggest frustration is hitting the ball into the back fence. I am getting lessons to improve my technique and considering a more...

Greetings! First of all hello everyone this is my first thread here. I am Aarush, 17 years old and I started playing tennis about 2 weeks ago. Currently I have 3 rackets, the new head speed mp legend, head mx spark pro, and the old Wilson pro staff 100L, I use the head speed mp as my main...

Hi, I’m a low-mid 4.0 and currently have a sand-beige vcore 98 coming in the mail soon. Just wondering what people would recommend/what they are currently using. Playstyle - First strike agressive baseliner Groundstrokes - Forehand can generate good amounts of spin, but tend to prefer hitting...

Ive been enjoying spin with this racquet, and I'd like to mod it but Id have a couple of different approaches and want hear experiences before doing it. I have other two racquets - head gravity pro(no mod except leather grip) - blade v9 16x19 (added 8g at 3 & 9, leather grip as well) both...

Hi all, Just switch to the vcore 98 (2023), however I'm unsure as to what string to string it up with that would be of most benefit for my game. I've done some research myself, but there are so many strings out there that I just can't decide. A few notes about my playstyle and preferences: I...

I’m treating a friend and want to get new strings for his racquet (because he’s the only person who will play with my beginner self). He has an older Head Radical MP Microgel that hasn't been restrung in years (and the grip looks like a mummy wrapping, so he'll get a new overgrip too). He's a...
