My best ever string setup!

[Tennease]

Main:
Alpha TSB-05 Claycourt 16G (Multifilament)
57 lbs

Cross:
Gosen OG Sheep Micro 16G
60 lbs

Racquet is in my signature, with Pojie Power Pad (best power Pad ever!!!!!)

1. Very very comfortable, no jarring feeling. So buttery feel and smooth
2. Very very powerful
3. Very controllable. The topspin is out of this world. The slice is heaven.
4. It feels very snappy, it bites the ball well.
5. Flat shot feels so easy and powerful.
6. Durable. I had about 6 hours of hitting and no fraying yet!!!!. Meanwhile I already broke my Wilson Synthetic Gut Power main the other day!!!!

Thanks for sharing - how often do you replace the Pojie power pads?

 

[ckhirnigs113]

And where do you buy Alpha strings?

With all respect but so called "power pads" do absolutely nothing!
They were meant to protect fragile gut strings in the age of wooden racquets. These newer updates looks a lot like bigger versions of the old woofer grommets of Babolat which do also nothing. Its all between the ears, or wirh other words a placebo effect.
No surprise you get so much power since you hybrided a powerfull multi with powerfull sgut strings.

That Alpha looks just like PP Clay Court Plus - very control oriented multi

I've only recently tried it. I haven't been using it for that long. I'd imagine I won't need to replace it very often, as it is much more solid compared to leather power pads.

It's from China, but when it was shipped the post tracking says Singapore Post.

I ordered it online via Ali Express app, and search with keyword "tsb-05".

I do feel it provides a bigger sweet spot to my racquet bed.

I can't discuss power pads because I've haven't tried them, but so sorry, babolat woofer grommets are absolutely the bomb.

If you think so they than they do. Meaning its all mental.

I switched the tension around, and it also feels great!!! Still very comfortable and control-freak setup!

-ooops, please disreguard,,,
-I was comfusing the leather pads RF uses vs the OPs power pads, pictured above

-I agree with you and/or maybe we are not sensitive enough to feel it?!?!?
-I do believe federrer though, when he says "he", can tell a difference himself (the leather power pads he uses),
-I once cut out inner tube rubber and installed it under the throat grommet piece, the whole 8 string strip
-I felt no difference what so ever,, soo if a whole strip of this stuff is not felt, how could single power pads make more difference
-i had several similar racquets and had these installed in a couple of them and not on the others
-at no time did i ever wonder why one felt different, i just simply could not tell myself
-you could say its different, leather vs rubber,, but I wasted enough time on that experiment, I rather test different strings instead

I can feel the difference even more with the Pojie power pads. The middle of the main strings feel more responsive and more "pockety" and it feels way way more powerful, more easy power.
