Which string?
J
Bbo and alu pleas
It just doesn’t get any better..
Are they your top picks too?
i never thought I’d switch back to full poly but let alone use bbo but I just cant seem to put the racquet down
I want to try it but I don't want to pay for it so I'm in a quandary.@J011yroger you going to try Luxilon SMART?
@J011yroger how did the purple Alu perform for you?
I have always wondered why some peeps always break mains and why some snap crosses more. I rarely ever break my cross strings. If I do break my strings, I am willing to bet on it that it will be the mains and just a little above the center. Not sure what the theory behind that is really.
It was uh-MAY-zing!
Full details to follow.

Can’t wait, given it had so many bad reviews in this forum!It was uh-MAY-zing!

For the record, did you hate the ice blue or whatever the original ALU power was? Or am I recalling another user?

Ohhhh never tried that one.@J011yroger
Hi buccaneer Henry Morgan,
I asked for your impressions about Adrenaline, which I already knew as I've red lots of your posts. I wanted to know about Savage White, but I misstyped.
Hit with Hyper G 17 for a couple hours last night, and I wasn't particularly impressed. After hearing so much about it being a spin monster, I didn't see the ball jumping off the court more than Volkl Cyclone Tour, Yonex Poly Tour Strike, ALU Power Feel, or ALU Power Soft. More importantly, I found it inconsistent anytime you didn't hit exactly in the sweet spot.
Once I pop it, I'm finally going to be trying the original ALU Power. @J011yroger what tension do you recommend for my Yonex? It's a 95 with a 16x20 pattern. I strung all of the above around 45-48 because they were mostly1.20mm (strike was 1.25mm), and so I was thinking of going lower for ALU since it's a 1.25mm and known to be stiffer.
Best spin strings I have hit with are TBHB7 1.25 and Hyper G 1.25. That being said you are getting ready to hit with the best poly ever made, Alu Power. Not all about the spin with Alu. Playability is top notch.

Whats the dark red one?
Got a few more on the testing block.

Whats the dark red one?
Judging from the color I think it’s yonex poly tour spinG, the hexagonal one with infused siliconI don't remember. I think it's a Yonex.

Jolly my man. In terms of control how does BBO compare with ALU Soft and 4g soft?
Planning on stocking up on strings, Luxilon ALU power soft is extremely cheap right now. Want something with maximum playability, I don't typically break strings. I'm having trouble choosing something out of BBO, 4g soft and alu soft.
What are your picks brother?
Nice! I did not know any tour players used Isospeed. Look fwd to your feedback J.
Finally tried the original ALU Power. As a guy with arm issues, I was surprised at the lack of arm issues with this string. [emoji1787]
It did not feel stiff/brassy like Hyper G. I strung it only one pound lighter than Hyper G (45lbs) and if anything had to dial back my swing a bit. Great string so far and can’t wait to keep playing it more than the two hours I did last night.
I was going to go with ALU Power Soft or Feel but now I have to wait to further test the original. Dang it haha.

What is the the preferred color of ALU? Might pick some up from the sale.

Silver for max performance. Blue is softer, purple is more powerful but doesn't bite.

Ummmmm I think it was LE. I don't know. Just get the silver.This is regular and not the LE?
Thanks!

have u tried Isospeed cream? I heard it was soft and crisp/lively but I was wondering what the launch angle is like. I’ve used yonex PTP/PTS/PTF which i think are good but low launch angle results in balls dumped into net a lot. Jus strung up dunlop black widow mains and PTP crosses in my DR98 today and hit pretty well but still dumping lotta balls into the net. Still in search of the holy grail :-/

What is it?This school bus yellow crap was better than 90% of new strings out there. $2/set first gen trash poly better than Hyper G and Tour Bite put together.
