Ben Shelton new racquet for Wimbledon training

[Nate7-5]

Could be PTP Graphite. Dunno. None of us can tell. It’s probably a Yonex string, though, so it’s either Pro or Strike. I don’t see why Shelton would use a budget string, and Poly Tour Pro is as good as it gets for round polyester, with respect to ALU Power.

Highly doubt he is hybriding 2 colors of PTP

Anyone have any insight on what weight, balance, sw he uses on his ezone? Would love to know coming from a vcore pro 97hd how yonex set up his ezone.

Why? Casper Ruud did/does it.

Oh interesting his strings looked yellow to me on tv I didn't notice the hybrid. I don't know why he would do PTP black and yellow so likely a different main. Could be Strike which is firmer like his Poly Tour Rev and crossed with PTP for a bit softer feel? Could even be black Poly Tour Drive for the shaped bite with PTP as the smooth cross. I wonder what it is

Some people (including on here) believe the different colors have different properties. I don’t see why that would be the case, but superstition is pretty strong in athletes.

Ruud’s setup is a hybrid of PTP and PTS…

Superstition has nothing to do with it. The different colors of PTP absolutely play different.

The dyes use are infuse in the poly matrix. They differently change the strings characteristics.

Ruud uses PolyTour Spin mains and PTP crosses. Name a single pro player that uses PTP other than the yellow version. Also name a single pro player that uses ALU Power other than the silver version.

Jaume Munar has used black PTP in the past; although he has been using gut/yellow ptp recently.

Mannarino has used black and ice blue alu power, but seems to revert back to silver; even within the same tournament. Ysaline Bonaventure also uses ice blue ALU Power

At the most recent changeover against Tiafoe, Shelton requested his tension to be 57/60 lbs.

Ah you beat me to it

Why ?? he needs higher tension cause Shelton is hitting ball too hard and Foe can't control any of his shots.....................That's called being Overpowered..

Higher tension on crosses than mains? Is there a reason for that? I haven't heard of such a thing before.

A lot of college players do it
