Best white string? LOL

[Casper777]

Ok that's maybe a dumb question but I want some white poly string to match my TF40

Currently evaluating some options with a bit of pop a not too stiff for my arm

Which one would you chose?

- TF Ice Code (like it but a bit stiff)
- Yonex Polytour Rev
- Signum Pro Hextreme Pure
-

Any other nice white poly??

 

[Happi]

T1 Ghostwire could be a good option.
Head Sonic Pro white, another soft string.

 

[PKorda]

Just posted in another thread don't find ice code stiff, maybe bump the tension down a few pounds and/or cross it with T1 GW.

 

[gvsbdisco]

If you want soft try MSV Focus Hex Plus 38.

 

[NewcomerfromBalkan]

if you cant play ice code or razor (which is stiffer)try ghostwire or ytex quadro twist in white.

 

[Crozzer95]

Head Hawk 3 (softer version of regular hawk)

Thanks great list!!

 

[stapletonj]

spray paint is your friend........... nyuk nyuk

 

[Aestheticsaboveallelse]

Ice Code obviously, besides ice code is supposed to be Caspers signature string!

 

[OldschoolKIaus]

MSV Co Focus is one hell of a drug.

Love it indeed but that was before my shoulder tendinitis ((

 

[SupremeCourt]

Diadem flash is another option, although I’ve only used it as a cross.

 

[jimmy8]

Try ice code in thinner gauges.

I think red would look good. Try head hawk touch 1.20 in red.

I know this is splitting hairs, but I left it out because as far as I can tell, it's kind of an off-white, as opposed to pure white, which is what the OP is really looking for as a color match to his TF40.

 

[Casper777]

Didn't know the MSV Co Focus...

 

[Casper777]

Yeah red and also dark blue fit the frame well... I have one strung with Solinco Revolution and it looks nice... quite love the string but in Hybrid... a bit stiff and too low powered for the TF40

 

[Trip]

@Casper777 - If red and blue are fair game, that opens up the possibilities considerably. I won't both to list them all here, but I'd imagine it's at least another 20-30 more polys, at minimum. And either a red or blue hybrided with a pure white would probably look equally bad-*ss in the TF40! * paging @Aestheticsaboveallelse *

 

[Casper777]

Haha yeah I wanted to keep the thing simple... white strings on this frame are something special...

 

[Casper777]

Ok those are on the try list

Yonex Polytour Rev
Wilson revolve

Those are super slippery according to TWU

Also curious about the Signum Pro Hextreme Pure

I have some set left of

Volkl V Torque Tour
L Tec 4S
Ice Code
Polyfibre TCS Rapid
Alu Power Vibe (but didn't like it when I tried it)

Might report what is the best of white string out there

 

[TennisJrDad]

MSV Swift

 

[Casper777]

By the way, I really think Solinco needs a white string in their linup!!

Imagine an Hyper G "pure" in white... that would sell like hot cakes!!

 

[ulunxtns]

Razor code white at lower tension

 

[ed70]

weiss cannon scorpion - pearl white, has good "pop" and is soft for a poly

 

[Casper777]

Well... definitely dont like Yonex Polytour Rev... It's stiff, not particularly spinny and I have no pocketing and no feel at all...
Next...

Will try Ice Code 120 at low tension next (21kg or 46lb)

 

[Trip]

@Casper777 - That's very telling. If you think Rev lacks softness, spin, pocketing and feel, then you can probably eliminate a good chunk my list.

As for Ice Code 1.20, it might be doable at medium-low-ish tension. I'd probably try MSV Swift 1.25 next after that.

Stringing right now Ice Code at 21 kg

 

[1HBHfanatic]

-all WHITE strings ive tried and liked

#1 tec.ice.code
#2 head.sonic.pro
#3 pros.pro.ku-de-ta

-msv has/had some, but its shaped and a bit firmer, IMO/IME

 

[Trip]

@1HBHfanatic - You need to try MSV Swift. It will change your impression of their white poly's, for sure.

 

[Irvin]

Not full poly but RIP Control white mains, with Ice Code cross.

String up Hyper G. Get white stencil paint. Paint the whole bed white.

but how do you get it..

suprising to hear. i have a customer i string Rev for and it stretches almost as much as synthetic gut. i'm blown away to read anyone call it stiff.

I agree with the Casper

It's def stiffer than PTP, it's an okay string to me.

 

[brownbearfalling]

Try any of the white strings above hybrid with OGSM white syn gut. Worth a shot because the syn gut is so cheap. I would say PSG duraflex too but is more a transparent white. The shade will be a touch off

 

[Crozzer95]

but how do you get it..

had this same question, lol

If you'd like some, I'd be willing to part ways with some of my sets.

I'm in Hawai‘i. Shipping costs would hilarious, I bet.

Polylon OOF, thing is stiff AF to me. Nice list though

[Casper777]

Just a quick update...

So far the white one I really like is the Signum Pro Hextreme Pure 120!! That may be actually quite close to a white hyper G soft!!

Fits the TF40 very well.... strung it at 21kg

Plenty of bite, quite forgiving has a nice crisp feeling at Impact... niiiice

i'm just talking out of my butt here cause I'm no chemist, but I think tecnifibre's thermacore technology is what makes their polys feel stiff and soft. the heat kills some of the elasticity, making it play like a stiff poly, but it also softens the plastic, making it feel a little more muted. that's why there's a lot of conflicting reports on feel

I agree that TF strings don't FEEL stiff... but I learned the hard way they are for your arm, and that the stiffness rating is real...
