Best Red or White Poly Strings

[Fighting phoenix]

I'm switching to the new Pure Strike, and since I'm weird about matching string colors with my sticks for aesthetics (please don't judge me), I'm starting with some reds/pinks that I like or that intrigue me. I tend to like crisp, spin friendly, somewhat more powerful strings (ie Lynx Tour)- would love to hear others' thoughts! So far I've only used Babalot RPM Rough in flourescent Red (1.25) in the Strike, which I like a lot. Others that I'm looking to try next:

Volkl V-Square lava (never tried before)
MSV Focus Hex Red (never tried before)
MSV Swift white (maybe as a cross)
Toroline strings that come in pink or red (Wasabi, maybe Super Toro comes in red?)
Technifibre Ice Code

Any other great ones I'm missing? Don't like overly muted, overly soft/mushy

Weiss cannon Red Ghost. Try it. TW rates it as a top spin string, also a couple YT videos out there. https://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Weiss_CANNON_Red_Ghost_17L_118_String/descpageACGLORY-WCRG17L.html

I string for a guy who uses strike with v-square mains and ice code crosses. Looks super sharp. However v-square is not crisp feeling...(neither is swift or ice code; never hit the toroline strings)

One of the combos I use most often is Lynx Tour on top of RPM Rough. It just works.
And I have strung a few sticks with the red/orange versions of those to good effect.

 

[Irvin]

Solinco Outlast or Colkl Cyclone Tour both red.

 

[Roforot]

Firewire Boost
(Firewire mains are red/Ghostwire crosses are white)

 

[topspin2000]

MSV Focus Hex, or Tecnifibre Ice Code, both in white. Both are stiff and crisp.

 

[Steve Huff]

Yonex Poly Tour Fire. It's a round string, so might not get the spin you want. Yonex poly's have gotten expensive too.

 

[KungfuTennis]

Hawk Touch Red, Volkl V-Torque Tour White, Dunlop Explosive Red, GAMMA Poly Z

 

[EggSalad]

Tecnifibre Red Code

 

[dyslexical-scope]

+1 for MSV Focus Hex in white, the best white poly I've tried.
MSV Focus Hex Ultra in white seems pretty good too, according to Kent on Youtube.

 

[swish41]

Your medicine is firewire boost. Red shaped mains and slick round white cross. Very spin friendly and not so dead combo

 

[elmaestro10s]

Head Hawk feels nice and crisp (comes in white)

As a few people have said above, TruPro Firewire Boost is also good choice (red and white!)

I’ve been enjoying Razor Code White (18g) in my Strike VS. Medium stiffness, excellent control, plenty of access to spin.

But now I’m keen to try this FireWire Boost setup in the VS! Red and white would rock in that frame and I like the descriptions of how it plays. And they have a 1.20!

Yeah just placed an order for Razor Code White and a set of that Firewire boost hybrid in 1.20...also gonna try some of the other options mentioned above, as well as some red/pink toroline hybrids. Great options!

Yonex Polytour fire is red and not mushy, it has nice feel.

 

[Casper777]

Red: Wasabi

White: Ice Code, LTec 4S, Volkl V Torque Tour

Hit recently with Pink Enso Pro full bed - somewhat muted, but felt pretty good.

Of the strings mentioned above that I've tried so far, I absolutely love MSV Focus Hex in Red - haven't tried white yet, any difference in playability?

I think the accents on the new Strike are pretty neon orange/red/pinkish right? Toroline Toro Toro should match pretty well, it matched the infrared accents on my CX200 almost perfectly.

I think Babolat calls it “flouro red” like the color of their rpm rough lol

Yeah I’m pretty sure it will, just not sure I’ll like toro toro - I just tried it as mains with enso crosses and didn’t like that hybrid much.

I ended up getting Ice Code and Red Code...trying Ice Code now and loving it so far. I wonder what the difference is between Razor Code White and Ice Code? Some of what I read made it sound like Razor is stiffer.

Gonna also try the orange and pink versions of Kirschbaum Flash, after being on the TT playtest for the Yellow Flash. Awesome string, just will need to string it tighter as it loosens up quickly.

Never tried ice code. Razor code is stiff but does not play or feel that way in my experience. Great string.
