strings

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...

I am currently playing the Solinco BD setup. If I want an equivillant from Luxillion, what would that combination be? Much appreciated :)

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...

Hi all! I switched to a Yonex Percept 100 (16x19) and really loving it so far. I think I might have found my soul racket. I have it strung with Polytour Rev White 16L mains and Yonex Dynawire crosses @ 48lbs. I typically string with syngut in the crosses for comfort purposes, as I've just...

I ordered some Grapplesnake Tour M8, Tour Sniper, and Alpha, as well as Solinco Confidential — all in 1.25 gauge. Currently, I’m playing with a Percept 100D that I bought used. It’s still strung with Luxilon Adrenaline at 23.5 kg, as it came from the shop. I really enjoyed it in my first...

One of the hardest things about demo-ing tennis rackets from TW is the in-house strings. Speaking for myself, I seem to only get demos with the TennisOnly strings (multi and poly). Without those strings' metrics being included into the TWU string database, it becomes a bit hard to decide which...

It seems like they're gone completely and that strings like supersmash/polylon and other classics were changed by the manufacturer... Anything left to try out?

I used Wilson nxt power and Solinco Hyper-g soft (first time nxt main second time hyper-g main) and i want use different strings like poly-poly hybrids,full bed poly or multi-poly hybrid (i dont want use full bed multi i tried it,it was terrible). I have a Luxilon Alu Power in mind but I don't...

Hello everyone, I’d greatly appreciate your insights, guidance, or redirection to a more relevant thread if appropriate. Any recommendations or advice would be most welcome. I’m a male, born in the 80s, and have been playing tennis since childhood, though I’ve been largely inactive since 2012...

Hi All Bought a second-hand Wilson Blade 98 18x20 v8 strung with Volkl v-square @ 48 lb Finding it really nice with the serve and volleys but forehands/backhands just fly off occassionally. Would increasing to 50 lb fix be too small of an increment to test to see if I can get a better balance...

Hi there - I am recovering from some tennis elbow and wanted some recommendations for some power strings to put in my racquet (the mains at least). Any recommendations? It probably doesn't help that I am using a control racquet (ProKennex Black Ace Pro 2025) for the elbow too (admittedly)...

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)

The following string stiffnesses are currently published by Tennis Warehouse University: X-One Biphase 17: k=167 X-One Biphase 16: k=163 Cyclone Tour 17: k=171 Cyclone Tour 16: k=167 This not only indicates that in both cases the thinner strings are stiffer, but that cyclone tour 16 is the...

A long shot but thought there could be a chance. Just a bought a racket second hand but the seller did not know what the strings were. Can anyone tell from these photos?

This is my first time using Natural gut in the mains as a hybrid (Wilson Nat Gut at 47#/Restring Zero Cross at 45#) in a modified Head Gravity MP 2025. Yes, I know that's a crazy tension for a gut hybrid. I've got about 4 hours on the string bed and overall the results are just outstanding vs a...

I came across these strings on accident and they are amazing - in particular the Ashaway MonoGut ZX Pro 17 (black) and the regular Ashaway MonoGut ZX 16 (again, black). Both are incredible for hybrid set-ups. I use them as mains myself. Their Kevlar is also really soft (something I thought was...

Qualifier from the Philippines, Alexandra Eala, is having her breakthrough moment. Always a good time to discuss her racquet and specs.

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.?

Which strings for Yonex vcore 95 , but please no american String because I live in Germany Maybe 1. Poly Tour pro 2. hyper g 3. Rpm rough/ Nxt Power hybrid 4. alu power rough I would be happy to receive many suggestions :) I added also 6g at 12

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...
