Jolly's Polys

[am1899]

Bought a good supply of regular Alu Power when they last went on sale, but I will keep that in mind when I run out!

You might also consider Tourna Silver 7 Tour. For a shaped, poor man’s ALU imitation, it’s pretty darn good. To be fair, it doesn’t provide as much magic as ALU (but what string does?). SST7 also holds tension longer and playability is more consistent throughout the life of the string, than with ALU.

i use the UT. Full ALU/ALUR is great

-what tension?
-I just strung mine with a dead 18g poly at 27 lbs (lowest tension ive ever used, was a total experiment),,
-im loving the low tension on this racquet
-freaks people out everytime they get to hit with it

48 I think? Maybe 46. I fluctuate tension by a few pounds based on the weather.

@J011yroger Element broke at 4 hours for me. Probably the fastest I've broken a string in a while. Might give Adrenaline a try after this new blue PTP

Why do you like Alu so much? Do you prefer rough or smooth?

Curious if you've given Laserfibre Native Tour a try.

I was part of the RMP Power playtest, and the line I quoted from you pretty much sums up my experience with it. Native Tour is a similar feeling string, but with a bit more spin, and less string movement (i.e., no straightening the strings after each stroke).

And lets be honest: The main reason for this reply is so I could post the image of the girl in the white bikini...

Shouldn't it technically be a more translucent bikini tho? Not to be a smart*** or anything but the details in this case could be of interest...

I will also day Native Tour makes for a really solid cross string in basically any hybrid I've tried.

Because it's freaking amazing.

If it isn't rough it isn't fun.

I keep them separated so they don't fight.

I see once you play with lynx tour could you compare it to the Alu smooth and rough?

Maybe, I doubt they will be comparable.

@J011yroger what grip size do you use? I know you have swapped out butt caps. Don't know if you have swapped out for a TK82s (on your older prestige)

My old ones were custom 9/16, they got a little small after the leather shrunk, so I actually preferred the 5/8 after a month or so. These are 5/8 tk82s, with 5/8 Wilson caps and no silicone they are a little big now but when the Wilson grips shrink they will be perfect, I am trying out the Head leather to see how it reacts.

[djNEiGht]

@J011yroger I see. If you ever have a need for some 5/8 TK82, I'm sitting on a number of them I have taken off.

Nah, I'm not about that rectangle grip life.

For those of you curious.

5/8 new, 5/8 old, 9/16 old.

Which do you like more? The newer or older ones? I forget what frame you use.

Which prestige is it again? They have like ten models.


Also do you use less tape? Or stock weight?

The Mid no weight required but I put a tiny bit at 12 and a leather grip so mine are probably around 12.3-12.4.

J

 

[J011yroger]

I just wanted to feel where the tip of the racquet was a little better for my serve so the little weight at 12 helped.

[Christoforos Giatzakis]

Could you share a little more on head lynx edge? Compared to Grey fire or black knight?

Both of the above are better. Lynx Edge is softer and more powerful than BK, softer than GF, has less bite than either. GF is the best of the three but breaks VERY quickly, BK is dollar for dollar the greatest string on Earth.

You went from the Midplus Graphene to the Mid Graphene 360? As in you went down to the 93sq in one?

 

[Brianliuok]

How would you compare between Alu smooth, ice code and hawk touch

Awesome, mushy, harsh.

Is alu soft a better choice with its better tension maintenance?

 

[CptVelcro]

How would you compare hyper g and Alu smooth

18x20 to 16x19 does help here.

You're a wizard, Harry.


All right then @J011yroger give us a review comparing the midplus vs the mid. Kinda a drastic change.

 

[ChrisG]

I really want to be able to play with the mid.
The smaller I’ve played with is the PS 6.0 95, and it felt good but really not forgiving

 

[J011yroger]

I can't comment on tension maintenance. It shouldn't matter if you are using ALU you should be breaking it pretty fast.

[J011yroger]

There is nothing Hyper G does that ALU doesn't do better.

The new MP vs the Mid? I talked about them in my racquets thread. I don't like the new MP.

I still have one on the wall in my shop.

I had 2 mint ones but I think I sold the other one to @Geoff

[J011yroger]

Ok, good news; I didn't forget how to play tennis.

Hit with the Edge/Velo hybrid, it's ok but I either strung it a little too tight or it was due to it being chilly out.

I'll see how it settles in, but I thought full Lynx Edge was softer/more powerful so there is something very off.

For the record, full Lynx Edge was strung at 50# in my GPMP, the hybrid at 54# in the new Mid.

Also the Yonex Dry Grap is nice, but I will obviously have to test it further in warm weather where I actually sweat.
