string

just submitted v1.4.0 for review. i really wanted to push this update because of cases like the one in the photo. a guy from my club brought me his racket today for a restring. the last time i did it for him was back in september. he is a great player but has been struggling with control for...

I strung my 16x19 racket as main 53 lb and cross 51 lb with gamma XLT. After it was done, I tested the tension with a tester. Tension for main string was around 53 lb but cross only had 40 lb. I haven’t even used the racket since it was strung. What’s the reason for cross being lower? String...

Who doesn’t love a bargain?! I’ve always had a hard time spending money on premium strings (although at my level I don’t think it really matters that much to notice a difference) and in this economy and the ever increasing cost of living it’s getting harder and harder to justify that kind 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...

I have a 18x20 Dunlop Bio 200 (95sq inch) that needs restringing and I’m thinking of doing something different, I previously strung it with 1.15mm hyper g it was a nice feeling string but I strung it to 52lb and really did not enjoy the high tension. I’m now thinking of stringing with a copoly...

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...

Got an old pure storm. Seller doesn't remember the string on it. At least 5 years on there. Feels fantastic to play. No markings left. Natural, slightly translucent, slightly scratchy with string movement and strings don't return to their normal position by themselves like newer co-polys do. Is...

I am using head velocity on my racket but i dont like it. I have babolat rpm blast 1.25 touch vs 1.30 (natural gut) hybrid package and solinco hyper g 1.25 should i use them or should i use another string (I can buy another strings and i can use hybrid setups)

It varies from player to player but I’ve come across players who can’t/ don’t use certain colors of racquets. Personally, I don’t like neon or white colored racquets. My justification is that the bright color distracts me from watching the ball. It shows up in my peripheral vision and throws me...

Hi all, I am currently using the BP 18 x 20 and need some suggestions, I currently use tecnifibre razor soft 17 at 52/48. I want to switch to luxilon alu power as I have a contract with them. What are your best reccomendations for spin, I would not mind using a hybrid of the two and restringing...

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...

Hi, anybody has feedback using Hyper G string from a m Z retailer, price looks right not like on eB%, but I see that they even distorted bar scan on the stock photo. All those retailers claim they buy it from "Wholesellers". And seller called "Solincto Store". I think it's very hard to...

Numbers on TWU compare strings tool are almost the exact same and the strings come in the exact same colors. Wondering if they’re made in the same factory and just labeled different.

Hello all, I've recently settled on Head Lynx Tour 17g as my go-to string mainly due to its durability as I often break strings (every 3 to 5 playing days). I found that it is not necessarily cheap, and money is an issue. I found this site, stringerpro.com, where they sell the 600 ft. reel for...

Just got a reel of 4G rough from a 3rd party, wanted to see how much a new string reel weighs of 4G rough Luxilon 4G Rough 16L / 1.25MM 200m reel.

Has anyone tested Tennis Warehouse's in-house multifilament string extensively? I liked it on a demo, but wanting to hear from people who have used it for longer durations. How does it last, and does the feel/response change over time? Does it hold its weight or exceed the quality/performance...

Hey everyone, I’ve been looking into the string life recommendations over on Racketpedia, and I noticed they often mention something like "12 hours of play life" for certain strings. My question is: are those 12 hours based on total time on court, or do they refer specifically to active playing...

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...

One of friends recently bought an artengo tr930 spin pro that came pre strung. I was testing it and noticed a skipped weave on the center of the string bed. Obviously this is a very unlucky situation for him, but we were wondering how the playability of the racquet would be over time if a weave...

Simply put, looking at construction and performance: - Gut is made of the dried fibres of the serous membrane of cow intestine - which is elastic, good at high tensions; Diagrams I have seen of a cross section make it seem more like multifilament strings, in that there are multiple smaller...

Can this become worse and can it damage the raquet itself? It is brand new ezone and I don't have any replacing grommets in my country and to ship it will cost me as much as the raquet. Thank you in advance

I love the LXN Smart 125 on my Clash 100. I'm afraid they will eventually run out of these strings given they are not manufactured anymore. Is there an equivalent soft string that LXN has introduced that I can switch to? I tried reaching their support team but did not get a response.

Hello, I just bought an expensive second hand “new” racket, but I feel like this grommet was damaged because of a previous knot there, is it a problem like that and can a broken grommet damage the racket?

Are they buying themselves and carrying in their bags for each tournaments? For instance, Novak using Babolat gut and alu power, is official tournament stringer company already have that strings or Novak give them at the beginning of tournament? If like that, is he buying from full price...

So here's the deal: is there a poly that meets the following criteria? A) cheap, affordable. Max. 70-80€ per reel (200metres) We can eliminate the Luxilons, Solincos, Babolats, Yonexes etc. B) durable. Lasts 8-9 hours. (Then breaks or will be cut out anyway) Eliminating Signum Pro Firestorm...

I have looked at TW reviews of Hyper G Soft and Luxilon Alu Power Soft, which I’m considering to buy. The reviewers say that the Hyper G Soft is quite arm-friendly, and that the strings should be re-strung after around 3 weeks. The reviewers say that Alu Power Soft is stiffer than Hyper G Soft...

Hello fellow tennis friends! I'm seeing a very good deal for polytour spin and I wonder if this string would be a good string to hybrid with polytour fire to allow that extra bit of kick from my shots. For context I string a full bed of polytour fire 1.20 at 50/48 in my vcore 95 and I'm...

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...

Does anyone know Yannick Hanfmann's racquet setup? String? From what I can see it looks like some sort of Prestige and silver string, maybe Alu. He's currently hitting some solid shots versus Sinner
