Played twice now with this setup. The tension feels just right. I noticed issues with my slice n so I stuck in a lil bit more lead at 12 (ballpark of 2.5g on there now) and moved the lead from 10 n 2 to 3 n 9. Slice has improved! I also added 1.5g of lead to the handle. Played a set today and won 6-2.I played a few more times with the Cyclone setup and then noticed that I lost a bit of control. It must have been 6 hrs that I played with this string. I def did enjoy it and it was the best string so far for my Vcore 95 but I def would like better tension maintenance. Strung on Hextreme 1.30mm at 52lbs on mains and 50lbs on crosses. Threw on an additional 1.25g of lead at 12. Will hit and update tmr.
Bryan bros use phamtum pro ?? had no ideaThis is for my own tracking purposes as I continue to experiment with strings on my Phantom 93P, TF40 305, Gravity Pro and Gravity Tour.
Silver Tour is a nice string. Soft n crisp!!!! I will order the 1.30mm!!!While I did like the Hextreme 1.30mm and it seems to be my frontrunner, i am also looking for other competitors in tension maintenance. So I strung tonight with Big Hitter Silver 7 Tour 17g at 56lbs. Nice string to string with. Will update tmr.
Tourna Silver Tour 7?So far logged 3 hours with the Silver Tour. It feels great still!
Yes. Great string!Tourna Silver Tour 7?
Strung my new Vcore 95 backup with BHS7T 1.30mm at 56lbs. My other Vcore still has the 1.25mm which prob has logged 11 hours now and still feels great. Will provide an update on how the 1.30mm feels tmr.8 hours logged and I must say the tension maintenance is still feeling great. Won a match 6-3 today. Awesome spin!!! This is the main contender for me so far. I would like to see how it plays in 1.30mm gauge.
Played with the 1.30mm setup today. It was good. I still need more sessions to gauge how it compares to the 17g. I didn't like that it felt slightly more head heavy.Strung my new Vcore 95 backup with BHS7T 1.30mm at 56lbs.

Update: logged 5 hours so far with the Silver 7 Tour. It still feels good in my Vcore 95. Liking it a lot!
Thats crazy cos I got some Pro's Pro strings too and will test in time. I am really enjoying the S7T too. Do you use the 1.25mm gauge? What do you string at?I really like S7T. It's probably going to be my go to strings. I ordered Pro's Pro so to test out and will make my decision after that.
It was the 17g and I strung it at 53.Thats crazy cos I got some Pro's Pro strings too and will test in time. I am really enjoying the S7T too. Do you use the 1.25mm gauge? What do you string at?
Id take the 16g for a Clash or Pure Aero but 17g fits nicely in alot of racquets. I just did a back to back between Yonex Poly Strike vs Tourna. Yonex pas quality and good feel but I think youll get more bite with the tourna and still get good feel.I cut out the 16g. I realised that 17g is for me. I restrung with Pro Pro Black Out 1.24mm at 56lbs. Will hit tmr and update.
The Pro's Pro was very comfortable especially for being strung at 56lbs in my Vcore 95. I could have used more spin and I noticed that when I switched over to my other Vcore 96 which has the Silver 7 Tour setup. I would give it more test time for sure though I think know already I won't go for it in the long run as I heard it's tension maintenance is not the best and that is what I am basing my string choice on now.Id take the 16g for a Clash or Pure Aero but 17g fits nicely in alot of racquets.

So Pros pro blackout was good enough??
S7T is my fave so far. I am waiting for Confidential and Max Power to come in and then I will close it at that and make a decision. That might then be the end of this blog!!! hihi. I hope people found it helpful.ha! like what i noticed from Strike to Tourna without being extreme it was noticeable.
Is Tourna your favorite so far ? have you compared with Max Power
Out of curiosity what’s the comfiest full poly and/or hybrid setup you’ve tried?While i wait for Max Power and Confidential to come in, I strung one Vcore with Grapplesnake 1.25mm at 56lbs. Will update in three days.
I can think of Big Hitter Blue Rough, Tier One Ghost Wire and Pro's Pro Black Out.Out of curiosity what’s the comfiest full poly and/or hybrid setup you’ve tried?
I also forgot that Tier One FireWire will also still be tested. I will hopefully string this tmr.While i wait for Max Power and Confidential to come in, I strung one Vcore with Grapplesnake 1.25mm at 56lbs. Will update in three days.
I did not like the Grapplesnake. Felt too soft for me and not crisp enough.While i wait for Max Power and Confidential to come in, I strung one Vcore with Grapplesnake 1.25mm at 56lbs. Will update in three days.
This is a nice frame. I just need to find a better string setup.Found my wife's Wilson BLX Juice Pro 96 in the basement lol. Strung it with Revolve Spin 17g at 56lbs. Slapped on 2g of lead at 12 and 2g of lead at 3 and 2g of lead at 9. Countered with almost similar weight in handle. Will hit tmr n update.
Good to hear about Pro's Pro Black Out. I was thinking of buying that after Red Devil.I can think of Big Hitter Blue Rough, Tier One Ghost Wire and Pro's Pro Black Out.
How was Red Devil?Good to hear about Pro's Pro Black Out. I was thinking of buying that after Red Devil.
I haven't received it yet. I ordered it 11 days ago and it's coming from Europe so it will probably be another week or two.How was Red Devil?
It is a fun string!Strung one of my Vcore 95s with Confidential 1.25mm at 55lbs. Been really excited to try this as it is one of the competitors to my BHS7T. Will update tonight.
can OP describe his play style/level?
[/QUOTE..]
Fast and big swings. Aggressive baseline mostly but will come to net to finish off points. One hand bh. 4.0 level.

How did Firewire goStrung my other Vcore 95 with Kirschbaum Max Power 1.25mm at 54lbs. Gonna hit tonight. Was easy to string. We are down to our final string test for my Vcore!!!
I didn't up trying it yet. I will one of these days.How did Firewire go
Just tried Max Power and my oh my!!! Lol. I string S7T at 56lbs in my Yonex Vcore 95 and so after reading that Max Power is lower powered and slightly stiffer (i think) as per the TW string database, I decided to string at 54lbs. Right from the first hit, the setup felt smooooth! Felt like the strings didnt need to break in. It also felt soft (not mushy soft like Hyper G) but yet crisp. Very comfortable. Didn't seem to feel stiff at all. I will actually string at 56lbs next time as it had decent power. Wonderful string. I know its my first hit with it but to feel this way on the first hit def means something. While I could play this in a full bed, I will experiment with it as a cross to S7T once both my reels come in in about 2 weeks or so. Great spin too.Strung my other Vcore 95 with Kirschbaum Max Power 1.25mm at 54lbs. Gonna hit tonight. Was easy to string. We are down to our final string test for my Vcore!!!
I'm currently hitting with that right now. I have in the mains with syn gut in the crosses. I will say FireWire has a nice bite. I'm going to try full bed next time but I'm impressed. I have FireWire in my Head Graphene Touch Prestige Pro.How did Firewire go
I am very interested to know more. Can you update me on how tension maintenance fares over the duration of your play with it please.I'm currently hitting with that right now.

Will do. I went and served with it yesterday and saw some nice hop on it. I'm going to try and schedule a match this weekend.I am very interested to know more. Can you update me on how tension maintenance fares over the duration of your play with it please.
S7T can do no wrong it looks like - it worked great in my rf97!My reel of S7T came in and I really want to see how sone of my other racquets fare with it. I strung my Rf97 with it at 58lbs. Will hit with the ball machine tonight.
