    String setup for a string breaker

    My friend that I'm stringing for is a string breaker, usually gets anywhere 3-10 hours from his strings... Heavy top spin hitter (not a form issue). He wants something relatively arm friendly for his RF 97 — he used to do nat gut but it was getting too expensive. His 2nd last setup was Gamma...

    Multi that plays like a poly?

    I’ve recently switched to a full multi setup post TE after being a long term user of poly (Yonex tour super 850 pro). I played with this string for the first time yesterday and after only an hour of solid hitting it is already frayiny, has notched significantly and the strings have to be moved...

    Red-colored poly string most similar to Solinco Hyper-G 1.20

    For a while, I have played with several poly strings replacing them more frequently than necessary. Briefly describing my journey with one-line comments: Luxilon ALU power 1.25: Probably best string either for professional or someone rich. ALU Power 1.25 Rough: Similar impression with ALU, but...

    Why don’t more people use ALU Power spin?

    Has anyone else seen this or am I crazy? It got great reviews from TW, and for lots of modern players this seems like a great option. Is it due to the price? I see most people either using the smooth or rough versions of ALU Power are those versions better than ALU spin? I’ve tried my hand with...

    Poly/Multi Hybrid Tension Question

    When I first started out, I used full beds of multi, then more recently to full beds of poly. Now I'm just getting into hybrids and I'm loving the combination of both. My question is; I usually know my tensions for full beds, but how do I know say if I want more power or control which string...

    Racquet Performance at Max Tension

    What effect does stringing at max tension have? My old racquet was a 55-65lb and I used it at 60lbs (playing for control), but I just switched to a 50-60lb racquet and I'm wondering what the difference would be if I keep stringing it at 60lbs? It feels different, and I'm wondering if that's...

    String tension versus power potential of string

    I'm using Tennisoutlet Orange Tiger string which is a "replica" from Signum Pro Poly Plasma. This is a low powered poly with I think good spin potential, tension maintance and durability, and made by Isospeed. I'm using this string on about 48/46 lbs (22/21 kgs). My confidence how lower tension...

    How standardized is string pattern 'extent'?

    All my smaller rackets from an 89.5 sq in Head Comp Tour to a 99 sq in Wilson Steam 99S (plus a Spalding and a Babolat in between) have the same string pattern 'extent', which is what I'm calling the distance between the outermost strings. i.e. for those rackets there is about 247 mm between...

    Hyper-G/ISOSPEED Cream Hybrid?

    Now that one of my favorite strings, ISOSPEED Cream, is back in stock, I'm debating about using it with my current string of choice Solinco Hyper-G. The main thing I'm looking for is spin and feel, but I'm finding it hard to find a string setup where the ball doesn't fly on me. I play a lot of...

    Hi everyone, Since I am new to stringing, I obviously ended up having to de-string my racquets. However, I encountered a little problem this morning. How can I remove these knots since they are linked by the same string? I can't pull either one out of the grommets in any way... Should I try to...

    Spin To Win or Cruise Control

    On the ATP, is a 16x19 string pattern more popular or is a 18x19/18x20 more popular? I have noticed more and more young players, coming up through the rankings, to be playing with much more spin friendly string patterns. However, I believe that it was the opposite previously, where players...
