Hybrid Setup for ezone 98 2022 after Shoulder pain

[Komtriku]

Hello again,
I will follow your advice and try a hybrid setuo for my ezone as i am suffering Shoulder/Muscles Problems particularly the deltoid muscle, upper arm.

Till now i played with full bed yonex polytour rev orange strung at 23/22 kg.
My technique is good, i would say i am a NTRP 5.
Heavy hitter but with the deltoid muscle pain i cannot manage to use all that pace.

Which hybrid would you suggest?armfriendly and slightly control oriented?

Gut main, round poly cross. If gut is too pricey, then a good multi or synthetic main. Head mlt is a good control oriented multi.

Are you sure it’s the strings? Deltoid pain and pain the shoulders probably has more to do with the weight of the racquet or technique or an injury.

If you’re sure it’s the strings, have you tried lowering the tension? You could also look at going hybrid with a softer poly cross.

Thanks, No i am not sure but i know that my technique is enough good, i am an adavnced player. and i dont think that the ezone 98 is too heavy for me. I played with the speed mp 300gr and then i switch to ezone because speed mp was too light for me. Ezone is supposed to be arm friendly and not really a difficult racket also for beginners.
I am just trying to exclude the causes. Strings, tension,injury and so on
Actually i was pretty satisfied with the 23/22kg tension and polytour rev. I played really good.

I would try the exercises before tinkering with strings

These multis have thicker outer sheaths for slightly better control:
Head velocity
Babolat xcel
Wilson sensation

Use them as a cross, then if you need more comfort, use them as a main.

Use polytour fire instead of rev because it's much softer.

Use Triax or RPX with Tourna Big Hitter Silver 16 in a cross.

I have always used VS mains and PTP crosses in my Ezone. No issues.

I'm gonna try Toroline K-pop next time i string my Ezone.

K-pop works well on my Regna.

Not sure how well the setup would do in a Ezone but a few months ago I switched to the new CX200 and had for a while been wanting to try a hybrid setup. Settled on (for now), Restring Sync in the mains and TF Triax in the crosses. Previous to this I had been playing all poly setups (because the cool kids do it) and didn't want to give multi a chance. I've found so far that this setup is a LOT more comfortable. I never had major elbow pain playing full poly but if I went on a stretch of playing a lot of days in a short period I'd start to feel like. I truly feel like I didn't give up anything putting a multi in the crosses and until I have a good reason not to use it, I'll keep doing so. I do think Triax is one of the more poly-like multifilament strings so maybe that's helped.
