Hello, TT friends!
We are happy to let you know that Grapplesnake Strings are now available in the United States. We are a German string manufacturer, and have been around in Europe for about two years. Before developing tennis strings, we focused our attention in the rope industry for sports purposes. The plastics involved in both manufacturing processes are actually very similar.
Within the last couple of years, we have grown extremely fast in Europe, and are currently sponsoring multiple ATP/WTA players. We are now excited to offer our products in the US market. We are passionate about tennis and truly believe in our strings. We aim at being innovative. For example, we have developed
dual-poly hybrid set-ups (CES Neon/Liquid Neon and Cube Extra Sharp/Liquid) that we are very proud of in terms of performance. In these hybrids, the Main string tends to be more firm, lower powered, and control-oriented, while our softer Cross string serves the purpose of adding feel and power. In the end, this well-balanced recipe plays just right and to us is a game changer. Available in individual sets and 2x Half-Reels.
Another innovation is
Irukandji, a string developed to serve as an excellent Cross for hybrids. If you play with natural gut or a multi-filament in the Mains, Irukandji will help prevent notching, and will add snap-back and spin. Being rectangular and round, the larger surface area, in other words, the widest part of that rectangle, will always make contact with the main when being pulled. That, also due to its added elasticity and how "slippery" it is. It always tends to sit on the larger area of the rectangle against the Main string. This larger surface area prevents notching even more effectively than a round string, increasing the longevity of your natural gut or multi. Available in sets and reels, white and blue.
Cube is one of our most popular strings in Europe, and it's an aggressively shaped square poly with great tension maintenance. Most of our sponsored players use Cube either as a full bed or as part of a hybrid. Available in sets and reels.
Note: Officially rated at 1.18mm due to standard measuring methods, its square shape makes it more comparable to a 16 gauge round string.
Excellent Purple is a round poly that provides players with excellent tension maintenance and durability. It's our "workhorse" string and it truly looks beautiful when strung. Great for a flat-hitting player who wants precision and utter consistency in launch angles. Also an excellent option for player who enjoy very low tensions due to its low power and high precision. Available in sets and reels.
Finally,
Liquid can also be purchased as an individual set, and it's great for players seeking for a hexagonal, high-powered, very soft poly that's easy on the arm.
Liquid Neon Dust is slightly firmer and will be available soon.
There are mode models coming soon from Germany, along with two more prototypes currently in development/testing phase that will surprise you due to their shapes and playing characteristics.
I hope this information helps some of you guys/girls that are interested in our strings. We are happy to arrive in America and feel free to shoot us a message if you have any inquiries. I am personally available here to answer questions pretty much every day. Can't provide direct links to our external website, but any questions of that nature will be answered via direct message. I love tennis, am an enthusiastic League and Tournament player, and also a home stringer, along with being the National Rep for Grapplesnake in the States. I will try to provide you with as much technical and real life information as possible.
Thanks again!
