strings

I am looking to shave off couple of grams and SW points from my Head Speeds. I tried Dunlop Black Widow 17, Tour Bite 17, MSV Focus Hex Soft 17, Lynx Tour 17 and MSV Focus Hex 17L. Feel-wise I like Black Widow and Tour Bite, followed by Focus Hex the best. Hyper G is somewhere in between...

Opening a thread dedicated to the new 2025 Ezone 98 (blue 8th gen) and everyone's preferred string setups. I'll share my own trials thus far: Racket: 8th Gen Ezone 98 with about 2 grams at 12, slightly built up grip. Overall feels more powerful and less boardy that last gen Ezone. Strings...

Which String is Most similar to the Toroline K Pop ? Thanks for the answers:)

I have always pulled tension on every cross and main but was talking to a high level player a few days ago and while we were talking about stringing he mentioned that he pulls tension every other cross, which would mean all the tension on the same side every time and seems like a not-so-good...

Hi All, Wanted to reach out to the community if any one has noticed the same thing and/or has any interesting pieces of information regarding this. Trying to save money I buy Wilson Natural Gut (40ft) and use half for my "Champion's Choice" setup with Luxilon Alu Power Rough but I noticed the...

Hi all, I’m in the tennis offseason, looking to maybe check out a different string setup or two. I’m currently using Diadem Solstice Black 1.20 in a Pro Staff Six.One 95, and my thoughts first ventured to putting Diadem Flash in the crosses (Diadem sponsors my school, if you’re wondering why...

Which One is best? RPM Blast black or RPM Blast Blue.?

Hi everyone, I've been playing tennis for a consistent year now although I've had some classes in my youth. I got pure aero 98 as a present which has kirschbaum polymer strings on it. It's been 8-9 months with the racket but I'm not feeling it's unleashing the racket's full potential. As I've...

So there seem to be 2 noticable things that happens during a string bed aging. 1) Tension loss 2) The slippery coating wears off We all know that when you get your racquet from the stringer and you try to move the main strings with your finger, it will immediately snap back and without any...

What strings and gauge do you recommend for this racket?

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...

Finally decided to purchase the cx200 tour 18x20 but not sure what to string with. Coming from an Ezone 98 with ptp and ptrev. Anyone tried a few different setups? Hybrids?

Recently switched to a 2023 Radical MP and been thinking about hybridizing Confidential mains with PLE crosses. I'm currently using a full bed of Confidential @ 54lbs. I was using a Blade 98 v8 before, and although I much prefer my current racquet, I miss some of the feel that my Blade had. I...

I've recently been testing tighter tensions in the crosses vs the mains and have enjoyed it. I've never experimented with more than 3 lbs differential and wondered what ChatGPT said about the subject. Here are the results. Mains @ 58 lbs and Crosses @ 54 lbs Increased Control: The higher...

Hoping to get some stringing advice here for my Prostaff 97v14. I’ve been playing hybrid setups for the last year on these frames but I’m ready to try new string setups. For the longest time I’ve been typically doing cyclone 18 in the mains at 50lbs and gamma livewire pro or regular livewire 17...

Has anyone discovered a "quick fix" to increase string tension either mid-match or thereafter to regain original tension? For example, I have several different kinds of dampeners where one style "sits" on the strings to absorb vibration, whereas another style pushes outward on the strings...

Hey, Just bought Blade and I would like some string recommendations. Played so far with Alu Power 1.25 52 lbps. Traditionally, I have only tried Alu Power, Alu Power Rough, RPM Blast and Hawk Touch on my previous rackets (Blade v7 98 16x19, Head Speed MP 2022). Can you recommend some...

ATP setups and specifications at the 2024 U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships. Racquets, strings, and tensions listed:

I’m a talented junior player and my choices for strings are limited to what my local stringer has in store. I’m using an ezone 98 and my preferred tension is 23kg. I’m looking for control, spin, durability and comfort in a full bed of strings. I’ve used Alu power, RPM blast and poly tour drive...

Hi guys, hope you are all doing well. I’ve been playing tennis for the last 2 years with a blade 98 v6 2021 (non countervail). I strung it with Yonex Super Tour @55 at first, changed after a year to Luxilon Element @50 and later element rough @52 and last week I tried Solinco Confidential...

Hello everyone, I wanted to know everyone's opinion about Kirschbaum Multifibre. I am looking for a multi that can replace Technifibre X-one Biphase. I read around this forum that Multifibre feels as close to natural gut? I searched and read through almost all the post about this string. But...

I made a (possibly useless) comparison between different string setups and their effects on drag. I did the calculations in Excel and I set it up so that it could be easily used by anyone to compare any setup, but this forum doesn't allow me to post an image of it, let alone the Excel file...

Hello again, I will follow your advice and try a hybrid setuo for my ezone as i am suffering Shoulder/Muscles Problems particularly the deltoid muscle, upper arm. Till now i played with full bed yonex polytour rev orange strung at 23/22 kg. My technique is good, i would say i am a NTRP 5. Heavy...

Hi there, where I live we play on a dirt-like clay court. With the summer rains the court is pretty wet and super slow I usually play with Head Hawk or other similar strings with my Head Radical Pro at around 52/53lbs I feel that I don't get any depth with the ball staying heavy and low Any...

I’ve been playing tennis all my life, and stringing racquets since high school. Im 45 now. I’ve been collecting Gamma points as long as I can remember. I decided to cash in a few of my points for a set of stringers tools. I mailed them in only to find out 4 months later that the program ended...

Hello, I am buying a second ezone 98. First ezone is strung 23/22kg with Polytour Fire 125. i like it but a slightly controlled string with a bit more precision could not waste. I have the impression that everytime that im not really focused on controlling my power, the ball flies out. Im an...

Hi everyone, I know there are a few posts about tennis and golfers elbow, but mainly for men rather than women and I am struggling to find a racket I can play with for longer than an hour without pain - assuming it is possible..... I am 55 and started playing tennis regularly again after 35...

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...

So….. I’ve very nearly committed to Angell frames twice now. This time I’m really going to do it. Currently play with Aero VS with some added lead at 12 and in the handle. Play some representative tennis at O40 level. All court player. Decent serve (although spin and precision are my biggest...
