i borrowed my friends frame strung with the yellow Yonex Poly Tour string at 48ilbs and I played absolutely terrible with it. Lost 6-4 7-5 to a player that averages around a single game a set against me!
Not sure if it's the string but I could not get any topspin or grip on the ball. Have really struggled with other frames with this string too. It's a powerful,soft string but to me it grips the ball no better than nylon
Was hitting the ball so much flatter than normal on both sides it was insane!
On the plus side - was hitting the biggest,flattest shots of my life with it - on both sides,just super erratic.
Despite the score,I could feel the awesome power this frame possesses.
Just finished reading the TW customer reviews and no one really mentions the lack of topspin it imparts.
I'm thinking about getting it restrung with a thin poly like Cyclone or MSV Focus Hex to add some grip and therefore spin.
I find Cyclone has a harsh feel so don't want to go there,but it does grip the ball particularly well.
Any other string recommendations that would add a feeling of grip or dwell time to this frame?
