Please Help!!!

[leftiesrule723]

I just ordered a stringer and I definately want to start to become more knowlegable about string. I have a general idea about most of it like Kevlar is super durable and how Rough strings give you added bite. But not sure what is good for creating hybrids recently I bought new string:
Tecnifibre Black Code
Klip Scorcher
Luxilon M2
Gamma TNT2 Tour
Gamma Zo Twist
and some others i just cant think of them right now...but please any suggestions on hybrids and how i should set them up...P.S. they are all 16 gauge

It all depends on what do you want from each string job you make. You want a more powerful frame?, a more comfortable feel?, more durability?.

If you bought the stringer for your personal use, I would say the best way to go is experiment with some set-ups and start from there. Hybrids are easier to string IMO, and will let you play around with some of the strings you already have.

You can start with a poly on the mains and multi/synth on the crosses and see if you like it, but it all depend on what frame you are using. For example, I use a poly on mains and multi on crosses hybrid on flexible racquets (Radical FXP Tour, Head Pro Tour 280), and a multi on mains and poly on crosses on stiffer racquets (like the iPrestige mp). Hope that hepls

You have a nice initial string inventory. I suggest you join USRSA. Aside from all the free string samples (usually top-shelf strings which will quickly more than offset the cost of membership), the stringing guides include a great deal of basic information about strings and racquet maintenance. There is a Total Racquet Service CD/DVD that is included in the membership kit. If you can swap it out for the newer Racquet Service Interactive CD, I recommend doing so. I think the information offered with membership is an indispensable reference resource for the serious new stringer. Regarding hybrid set-ups, there are tons of threads covering this subject here, so search to your heart's content. Not trying to be a smart-ass, but there already is a wealth of information and opinions from existing threads.

Okay I should have added more.... I use HEAD Microgel Radical Pro 16x19... I have been using Gamma Zo Rough Tour I liked that string but trying some new stuff out. I like to play with spin but I am looking for something to help give a little more pop on my shots I also realize working on my technique will help generate power to. I want it to be Durable I usually break the Zo Tour Rough in about 3 -3 1/2 weeks so I guess Im not a real big string breaker. I know its a lot but I hope you all can help

I was wondering where Il Mostro had been.

try m2 mains and tnt2 tour crosses and zo twist mains and tnt2 tour crosses.

 

[leftiesrule723]

As far as mixing the m2 and tnt2 tour and the zo twist and tnt2 tour what will those two hybrids give me in the game...added pop, more spin, control, how will the durability be. Wouldnt the M2 burn through the TNT2 tour?
