string

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...

Strings I have VolklCyclone 18 - orange Volkl Cyclone 18L - Black Volkl Cyclone tour 18 Solinco Hyper g -16L Volkl VSquare - 16 Luxilon 4g Soft Luxilon 4g - 16 Babolat rpm blast - 16 Head lynx tour - 17 (champagne color) Head hawk - 17 Tourna big hitter silver 7 tour - 16 Kirschbaum max...

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

I am heartbroken to say that my favorite string of all time is almost used up. It was made by a now defunct company, so unfortunately, after my next round of restringing, I'll have to find a new go to. I'm looking for a soft, preferably, shaped co-poly that offers good spin potential and decent...

Is there any string in a dark red colour- like red wine or darker lipstick? Not a Ferrari car type red.

Hi everyone! I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea... but recently, I've been using head strings and the results have been great (was testing a few strings and then was also selected for the playtest demo review). Today, I decided to play with Yonex PTP again (my original go-to), and oddly...

I've recently switched to an 18x20 racket (Solinco XTD 18x20), and trying different strings and gauges in it. Currently, I'm playing some of the best tennis I've ever played with Yonex PTP but in the 18 gauge. I used to use the 16L gauge in a 16x19, but decided to try 18 gauge just to open up...

If I hypothetically... did not have enough string in my reel to string my last cross row so I tied it off on the 2nd to last one, AND I had 2 leftover feet of that same string (separate from reel/mains/cross)... and I string it through both ends of the final row of the crosses and tie off both...

are there racket/string combinations which maximize playability? if there are, which combinations would stay playable on court for the longest without sacrificing too much comfort or performance? I think the obvious answer would be a tighter stringbed (18x20) with maybe a kevlar gut hybrid...

I recently purchased a Head Gravity Pro with Head Lynx Tour @48lbs. I don’t really feel like this string is as great as I liked it to be. I got a recommendation for Solinco Confidential @51 lbs, might try this unless I get a better recommendation.

Hey everyone, I recently got a Tourna Stringmeter to check the string tensions on my rackets, but one issue came up. Checking most of my rackets, it seems to be in line with what I strung it at or slightly lower due to string tension loss, but when I tried it on two rackets strung with Gosen...

Hello together, In Adelaide rublev gave his raquet to a young fan after his loss against Bautista. It seems like he change from a full bed of adrenaline to another string ? Maybe Someone of you has informations. You can see a clear picture of the actual string on the instagram of: jxvanperic

Hello guys, its almost 2023, and many many strings on the market and Im thinking about what could be a good string choice for my old (the first) aero pro drive original? In the past i tried around 3-4 strings, so I dont have much experience. Im thinking about hyper g and weiss cannon ultra...

Hey everyone, just a quick question to throw out there. I am currently intrigued by ISOSPEED Rexxxer and StringLab's Orbitour, just to try it and see how they play, and I was wondering what exactly would an oval shape string do. I do not see the obvious benefit for it and assume it's more of a...

Delivered 2 sets of this new string today, 1.23 and 1.27 gauge. The brand is called ReString and this is their first string released called Zero. 6-sided polyester that promises great spin and durability. It's price is 17€ per set which sets the bar quite high for a newcomer to the industry...

Hi all, I play with 2015 blades 18x20 and like the Kirschbaum Evolution string a lot. Due to elbow sensitivity I want to change the cross string with a multi or syn gut. what are you guys recommendations that don’t break the bank? Also spin potential and longevity wise. Thanks!

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...

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...

I've been looking in several places and never found it. Does anyone have information on the stiffness of Angell Halo strings?
