Durable strings

[Nadal46]

Hi, I've alittle problem with strings durability: I break strings every 2 weeks of play(about 20 hours). I broke babolat pro hurricane and luxilon original in 2 weeks.Which string will be more durable than those 2 strings?

Kevlar

you might want to try it before you buy a amount of quantity first, though.

 

[Nadal46]

Are you talking about alu power?

 

[hjminard]

ALU Power is a poly. These are Kevlar:

I'd recommend the Forten kevlar strings. I found the Ashaway Crossfires to lose tension faster than Forten.

Kevlar strings aren't that durable in the mains if a rough or textured cross is used. I strung a racquet for a friend who uses heavy topspin and the Forten Sweet 17 crosses (very slight texture) ate right through the Forten Composite Aramid 18 mains. It surprised me since I'd always heard that kevlar was bulletproof. :-o

durable...? kevlar is the one you are looking for

But on tenniswarehouse there are only hybrid with kevlar, not all kevlar strings.
And am I going to have arm problem with kevlar?

prince synthetic gut duraflex is very durable especially for the low price

kevlar and psgd, wow you guys are creative... alu lasts me @3 sets and I'm trying different polys to find something more durable, yet more playable than the polylon I used before. premier ace is durable but not very new school as far as polys go (great control but no power & a small sweet spot). sppp feels good so far and has lasted 4 hrs w/out breaking, but the 16g plays pretty stiff (can anyone compare the 16 and 17?). big ace and cyberflash are next on my list, then cyberpower and big hitter.

What do you mean creative?....he wants a durable string so people said kevlar which is the most durable string. If he wants more durability than hes getting with BB original, SPPP is not going to be any better.

after 10 people say he should try kevlar he says he's concerned about his arm... so 10 more people say the same thing... that's what I mean. sppp may not be much more durable than bb, but kevlar is a less likely answer to this guy's problem (not that anyone should want strings to last longer than 20 hrs if they understand playability and have ok technique) than a more durable poly.

 

[budkid]

If you don't want kevlar and want to stick with poly.

I suggest Tecnifibre Polyspin 16. It lasts a looong time.

 

[Mickey Finn]

Kevlar is very hard on the arm and needs to be strung at a much lower tension than most other strings. Use with caution.

 

[fenschlive]

big ace ! very durable ...more than bb alu

 

[dacrymn]

Ashaway Kevlar is fairly good, but again, string lower.

 

[hawaii45]

Pro red code is the most durable poly I have used.

 

[scotus]

If you are concerned about your arm, perhaps try Klip Armour Pro natural gut?

 

[NoobWannabe]

Hey muredhawks,

How does x force play for you I kinda want to try that string, I want to get some opinions first. THanks

Pacific x force is a durable poly. I have a set if you want to try.
Other than that Kirschbaum touch turbo.
