Darker orange strings.

Sometimes I really like to have a matching color set of strings in a frame. I have a Head Microgel Radical whose primary color is a burnt orange. I’d like to find a string, poly or otherwise, that has a similar color to it. I’ve already tried: Yonex Poly Tour Rev (too light) and Volkl V Star (also too light). Anyone know a string that comes in a darker shade of orange than those?

Poly- Ytex ProTour Orange (might be too bright)
Multi- Technifibre make X-one biphase in a dark orange as a squash string so you would need to use 17g

Do you have colors on syn gut/multi? I’m trying to see which string most mimics (in terms of color only) McEnroe’s shiny gold gut.

-ill work on it, provably tomorrow
-i forgot to go back and do the nylons/syn.guts and the multis
-not much color variation in the past, in my multi category
--most are tan, cream, black, and 1or2 red ones (from ashaway i think!?)
 
you also have the rust/bronze looking strings like element, babolat rpm soft, 4g desert bronze, Signum Firestorm that would match well

This is the most red it’s looked!? Every time I’ve seen it string in a frame it looks orange to me too lol. It is also quite a bit softer and powerful than rpm. Overall good string, but tends to not get nearly as much attention as the traditional rpm.
 
Well i went to one of my local pro shops and looked at their decently wide selection. RPM rough was a hair too reddish orange to match the Microgel Radical. Really the only set that seemed to almost nail it was the orange Wilson Sensation. So that’s what I went with.

I guess you're a little bored, ha.

Next time, why don't you decide your favorite string and then a racquet that goes with? Didn't Boris Becker once quip that racquet is only there to hold strings?

My favorite string is Gamma Ocho XP but they quit making it last year, and it only came in natural color. I ordered all the remaining sets they had from Gamma Europe but that only got me 1 16g reel and 3 sets of 17g.

But that’s only natural color. For frames I’m not sure I’ll use long term, but want to look nice, I’ll try and color match strings. Like this one here.

Wow I didn't know that you're a multifilament person in this poly age.

Toalson has released a multi-sided syn gut called Asterista Armored. I do not know if it will be similar enough to Ocho XP, but might be worth a try if you can get your hands on it. IIRC, Toalson makes some of the Gamma strings, or vice versa.

this. Lynx Tour Champagne looks real nice in Radicals

why not try Lynx Tour Orange? I guess I would characterize the Microgel Radical orange brighter than burnt orange

Looks like Gamma Asterisk to me. It's been a very long time since I tried that one, but I didn't find it to be particularly special versus other syn gut strings.

I think the novel feature is that it is shaped. I believe normal(round) toalson asterista and gamma asterisk are indeed the same
