I know there is already a similar post but I’d like an updated one I hope y’all can help me. Let me give it to you straight..I really like this string I’ve tried it in different racquets and different gauges and I currently like the 16g on my blade 16x19 I am an aggressive baselinner who really benefits from that extra spin and control with my fast racquet head speed swings...I also do believe this string is not perfect I find it difficult to volley with when I come into the net and my serve isn’t that great with it either. I would like to try a very similar string...I read that confidential was an in between tour bite and hyper g string and disagree it definitely does not have the same bite or “liveliness as the hyper g although I have never tried tour bite which is another string I’m looking into I’ve read recommendation from technifibre black code 4s and volkl V-tourque as good alternatives..leaning towards the black code 4s because of the squared shape...I really do like that plastic ish sharp feel I get from hyper g but I cannot tell what the other string feel like with pictures..what do y’all think/suggest?

I highly recommend you try the:
- Diadem Solstice Power 16L
- Gamma Jet 17 (spin monster!)
- YTex Quadro Twist (1.5-2kgs higher than usual tension)

Genesis Hexonic power....underrated imo

Try YTEX quadro twist, it has that big grab on the ball with a softer feel and has power. You’ll serve bigger, still hit pretty heavy on ground strokes

A bit too powerful for my taste at my usual tension (23kgs). Super comfort and ball bite. Very spinny yes.
I'd also suggest the Gamma Jet 17

I have a blade v8 16x19 and I use big hitter silver 1.25. My serve is faster than with other strings. My ground strokes are low powered enough where they stay in the court. It's the perfect string in my blade v8 16x19. I've tried a lot of different strings.

I also hit great volleys with big hitter silver. Better than with other strings.

Thanks! Just ordered some Diadem Solstice Black.

I recommend trying solstice power with a smooth round cross string. Works great.

I’ve been playing with Lynx tour now for a couple of days and I do like the string I can’t say that it is just like hyper G, this string is definitely lower powered and stiffer compared to hyper g and doesn’t bite the ball as good. The odd thing is that this string turned my 16x19 into an 18x20, I’ve never experienced that with a string. Definitely more control but I’ve had to change my swing the way I do with the denser pattern very odd to me but very interesting.

Lynx Tour is usually thicker than other strings. If you're using a 16G/1.30 Hyper G, you want to go to the 17g(1.25) Lynx Tour.
Also, the orange version feels identical to HYperG to me, whilst the other colours of Lynx Tour feel just a bit more stiff.
HYperG is a bit more spin and launch angle, though, but not a huge amount, assuming the afforementioned gauging differences.
I prefer the more controlled repsonse of Lynx Tour. Yet it is still fairly powerful as thick polys go.

YTex square X black and tecnifibre 4s - 4s is more powerful and square x has better feel,
