False alert. Its ex-distributor using popularity of Mayami to promote his new brand…Mayami EU its mayami-strings.eu and previous website (different distribution) is just messing with their clients. Grab a popcorn for this story, it was explained several times here :)

I got redirected like everyone but I can’t even buy anything from the Natural Gut Strings site. I click the £14 button but it doesn’t work

@galapagos Hey man , whats your favorite setup with Big Spin?
Full bed or with something else in crosses?
Click to expand...
I tried only full bed but the hybrid i would be interested in is big spin / tour hex and big spin / hepta power.

big spin full bed is very nice and spin friendly but my technique is kinda more „linear” so was actually liking 1.30 big spin more. That being said I won 1 tournament with 1.25 big spin. Its so spin friendly and control oriented yet comfortable….Not my favourite on volleys…

Are they closed here in the US and only shipping out from Europe? It has been an up and down issue with shipping for the past year or so. I hope this gets straightened out soon. I have a local pro shop that stocks these strings I will stop by one day and see if he knows what is going on with them.

Nothing is closed. Funny how simple things can get so complicated. „.eu” is for EU countries , „.com” is for rest of the world shipped from US.

“We have been shipping from our warehouse in USA with New Jersey for a year now. Europe warehouse only ship to Europe website : mayami-strings.eu

To buy with delivery to America, Canada and other countries except Europe, then this is our official website : mayamistrings.com”
 
I've just tried Tour Hex/Hit Pro at 48/45 in my RF97A, for 2 hours of doubles and it seems like the best setup I've tried: I could rip my groundstrokes and they would go in, plus it feels soft like butter. Control was very good, while the power was amazing.

So far I like it more then my 2 hybrids with natural gut/poly at 55/50.
 
Am considering a reel of Hepta Power as well, to use it in full bed, if it has (according to @galapagos) "the biggest comfort and power" among all Mayami strings....

About the same spin that you get from tour hex, as I have tour hex in the mains. i bought a reel of tour hex and hit pro each because I tried them both full bed in a sampler pack, and while I enjoyed each one of them, I thought if I could have a little bit of both strings I'll be happy

But aren't these diagrams with characteristics that the mayami strings side quotes from racketpedia.com full of errors?

According to Racketpedia, TourHex has the same 100/100 spin as BigSpin while the later is more powerful!!?
Also Hepta Power has the same 100/100 control as TourHex and identical 65/100 comfort?
Finally HitPro is listed as more powerfull 90/100 than Hepta Power 75/100?!

Racketpedia seems to contradict all of you guys, stringforum.net and @galapagos :
Stringforum also differs from @galapagos finding that HitPro and not HeptaPower is the most comfortable...

Time for the Mayami Hepta Power 1.24 review ! 8-B

I tested this string in Tecnifibre T-Rebound 298 Iga Swiatek signature racquet and I am very happy with the results so far.

First - it's very comfortable. It's as comfortable as strings like Signum Pro Firestorm or Tier One Black Knight. At least in this foam filled beauty.
It's a bit like Big Spin but the launch is more linear and the control on volleys is much better. It's not a spin monster like Big Spin but instead your touch shots should be better.

Before my review I asked few people about their opinion and many claimed similar experience. Very comfortable, slightly powerful but at the same time with great control (because its more linear)- that was coming from the gravity pro user and I think it's a perfect combination for this stick.

From all Mayami strings I tried, it offered biggest amount of power with biggest comfort as well. I strung the racquet at 24kg for a reference. It's a bit like Solinco Confidential after the breakin period. Very soft and linear spin potential. So I think people with Gravity, Prestige, all Yonex frames and all frames below 305 grams will like Hepta Power. Frames should feel much better.

I also met opinions that it's similar to RPM Blast. Well I have only tried RPM Blast Rough 1.30 gauge so not completely true comparison BUT I think RPM Blast is much much much more stiffer, boardy response and lower powered.
It's closer to Volkl Cyclone but again with softer feel, better touch and more power. Tier One kinda felt similar with the comfort but Hepta power had bigger sweet spot and better spin potential.

So maybe the perfect comparison would be Tecnifibre Black Code which I heard is on a softer, more comfortable side? Unfortunately I haven't tested it but sounds like a good competition for the Black Code especially if we compare the prices. They even have same gauges.

It's the softest string in my Group D (7+sided strings). Maybe Volkl Cyclone Tour would be the perfect comparison ? I dont know. It's not completely my type as I usually use stiff strings and low powered. I appreciate comfort especially when I'm coaching. That's how my love to Signum Pro Firestorm developed....

Conclusion : very comfortable string with linear launch and great spin potential. Despite bigger power I could still control it and I appreciated bigger sweet spot.
Good if you want to "wake up" the racquet a bit and make the frame overall easier to perform.
Not for you if you seek ultimate control or expect a loopy spin up and down like Nadal.

I use totally different frame and my needs are different. I wish there was a thicker gauge version available but even then I am not sure about the power lvl. Angell already is a bit powerful and its 16x19 but who knows as I enjoy Firestorm... Prestige, Blade, Gravity, Vcore users should try it. I give it a 7.0 rating for comfort, sweet spot and linear response with nice spin potential. It's not the best for powerful frames or with high launch angle so hope to see a thicker gauge in the future.


All Mayami strings compared:
1. Hit Pro - ultimate feel, great pocketing, very similar to Luxilon Original but slightly more power. I would like more spin potential but it's as expected from a round string overall.
----Biggest competition - Tecnifibre Razor Code, Luxilon Original

2. Big Spin - soft and low powered with crazy big spin potential. On groundstrokes its one of the best but not the best on volleys or 1st serve. Your mindset must be spin oriented and I am a flat hitter (but 1.30 big spin was working quite nice even for me and added confidence from this spin machine is appreciated)
----Biggest competition - maybe Solinco Hyper G

3. Tour Hex - biggest control, linear response,great touch. It's a bit like Hit Pro with slightly better spin. It's like a round poly with a shaped spin potential. I still need to try 1.28 gauge.
----Biggest competition - Tourna Silver 7 Tour, Solinco Confidential

4. Magic Twist - close to Tour Hex but slightly stiffer. You need more RHS to make this string work. The spin potential is maybe a bit bigger but the launch is also slightly less linear.
----Biggest competition - Babolat RPM Blast Rough, Signum Pro Tornado, MSV Focus Hex

5. Hepta Power - biggest comfort, biggest power but linear response closer to Tour Hex with spin potential closer to Magic Twist.
----Biggest competition - Volkl Cyclone (or maybe Volkl Cyclone Tour), Tecnifibre Black Code, Tier One Black Knight

Not sure how RP completes their testing but from my empirical observations Big Spin generates way more spin and a higher launch angle. The key caveat is spin production is going dependent on the player's strokes mechanics, of course. Having played them side by side, Big Spin does offer a bit more power. Tour Hex on the other hand seemed to deliver a little bit more ball control, especially at the net.

Those ratings just make no sense I think Tour Hex was rated 100/100 and Big Spin 95/100? Even though Big Spin is advertised as maximum spin. You can't have a more control oriented string maxed out as perfect spin. 100/100 would mean no string in the universe could generate more spin than that. I just completely ignore the ratings and focus on descriptions their descriptions are whats accurate lol

And stringforum + you guys seem accurate as well.
Thanks!
 
Do you want to know how good Mayami poly strings are(at least during the initiall 5h of play)?

Hear me out: Just now, I had to force myself to hit with a freshly strung NG/poly gut (Babolat VS Team 17/RPM Blast 18 at 52/47 LBs. Plus a third stick at 55/50, same difference) for half an hour and I could hardly wait to get back to my...softer and more controlled Tour Hex/Hit Pro at 48/45.
Granted VS Team 17 is stiff during the first hour of play (and that's why I forced myself to hit with it, against a weaker player, to loosen it up), yet still...
Same stick of course, RF97A.

You ain't lived until you've tried 35 lb RPM Blast 16 (or 15L) in Pure Aero 2019. Plays like Nadal but with very effortless power & spin whereas he has to work hard for it >:D

I might try it, as Aero Drive has been my first pro racquet (that I've passed to my son followed by Djokovic's Head Graphene that has more control and we both prefer), after which I've discovered the Wilsons: 6.1 95, RF97s and now RF97A and I'm sticking with it.

I've demoed a bit and loved Babolat Pure Strike 100 Tour.
Tried Yonex, Prince as well.

Have you tried the Tour Hex/Hit Pro hybrid?

Why didn't you use the 30% coupon for Valentines? With the free shipping it can't be more then USD10 per set....
I got my second reel of Tour Hex (plus one of each Big Spin, Hit Pro, Hepta Power) and individual sets of all the other poly strings (Magic Twist and whatnot).

I have too many strings to try keeping it simple with just Tour Hex is perfect :^)

Don’t know if this is allowed here, if not let me know and I’ll delete. But I have an extra reel of Tour Hex I’ll sell at a discount. If anyone wants it PM me. Local Atlanta pick-up or free ship to U.S.

Do you prefer other strings?
 
Im not sure if anyone shared it already but Mayami brand Just won their first ATP title. Molchanov with Rublev ATP 250 event doubles. Hepta power 1.24 :)

Would you guess tensions in the low 40s? :)
Or what would you reccomend for full bed in an RF97A please?
 
temnik said:
My son tried and ultimately ended up not liking it either as a fullbed or a hybrid. He asked me to stop experimenting and go back to his usual Multifeel/Velocity setup I learned from @g4driver

Hence, I'm now exchanging my 85% reel in the sale/trade forum.

Still - if anybody has had a success with AP, I'd be willing to try it again using myself as a guinea pig.

thanks @temnik

how old is your son ? glad he likes the MF/Velocity setup.

That combo of MF/ Velocity has received so much positive feedback from such a wide variety of clients from 4.5C Rated men to beginners.
