I played for many years with NG mains /Alu power crosses. Love it for its power, feel and spin....control was there but for me the “perfect” balance between all this aspects never lasted long, making me restring very often and I always needed to have at least one or two fresh string rackets with me during a formal game. No a cost friendly way to play amateur tennis.
I tried few other string settings, but I couldn’t find nothing that suited my game better. Until someone recommended me to try 4G soft as a full bed. At the beginning I though I wasted my money and time big time. I tried it on a Yonex Vcore Duel G 97 at 55 lb all around tension. I was used to have depth and power with no so much effort, and the 4G soft didn’t give me that at the beginning. It took a while for the tension to settle and for me to get use to full swing in every shop and be conscious that it needed to be me who generates the power and no the racket. I think it took me about a week to really get it and appreciate it! The control and confidence I got with this setting I never experienced before. The feel of go with total confidence for full powerful swings without holding back or worries... placing the ball with consistent accuracy and precision, from any part of the court and right in the target...is just sublime. It’s gentle to arm, have tons of feel, great spin and recreates a honest transfer of energy and power of your own input into the shots. So it’s really feel like a true extension of my arm. No unexpected reactions or putting its own input into the shots. Something that for me personally works extremely well. I using it in a Yonex Vcore Duel G 97, customised 356g, 31.9 cm B.P, in a RFPS 97L, a Babolat pure aero and in a Wilson juice 100,....all with the same weight and specs of customisation. It has reduced by a mile the amount of unforced errors in my game.The more I use it, the more I love it.
But of course...we tennis players we always want more! So I was wondering, how it will perform in a hybrid setting? NG mains/4G soft crosses.....Would that compromise its consistency and predictability? Or will it add something good extra? Happy to hear thoughts about it.
