You’re right. Sync on hybrid seems to stiffen things up. I haven’t try hybrid Zero/Sync yet but I just tried hybrid Head Velocity 1.30 main at 48 lbs and Sync 1.20 cross at 45 lbs on a pro stock Blade 98 18x20 and it was so stiff that full bed poly definitely feels softer on this racket. Don’t know why but full bed Sync is super ok on most rackets I tried, except Babolat Pure Aero.
In for 1. I felt the same way for rev for some cheap balls like the ones from Costco: hard and not too much fiber texture. You can feel the ball gliding on the PT rev bed causing all the hits dip to the net.
Whats the difference between 1.23 and 1.28 in terms of feel, spin, snapback and playability duration?
About to order a few sets
Will be stringing them in mains with Sync 1.25 crosses in Blade 98 V9s 16x19
Yes.
it was kind of weird,,, Restring zero had very good control and good topspin potential,, but just felt more and more Uncomfortable as the match went on.....lol

played 3 hour match,,, it still felt like fresh after that long. it was good 3 hours cause it was very hard hitting 4.5 level tennis
Yeah, I think so. I might cut it out sooner now depending on the frame. But if I am feeling cheap maybe hit that 15/16. I haven't played with a FB in awhile. But might give it another go soon if I buy more sets. I need to play through a giant stack of toroline strings. FWIW, I have about 3 hours on Zero main/sync cross, and staring to show a notch, its just starting to catch when I pull the strings to the side. Curious to see how quick (or not) that becomes a problem.
its a good solid poly, too bad my arm just can't handle it....lol. will probably have to go back to Hyper G or confidential. trying Hyper G next
I've been using this in an ezone tour over the last week and I'm very impressed.
Were you able to control the depth of your shots with zero in the mains? It has the most spin out of any string on the market but sometimes feels like can’t swing out with it because it will go long. I assume it also wasn’t too stiff in the mains?
Can’t lie, after using zero I found the spin to be amazing but the fact you couldn’t swing fully and know roughly were it was going, was a problem. Tried it with sync and it worked better but still would struggle to get consistent depth. How did you find the feel and touch with this set up as zero is a bit firmer in comparison to ptp. As you said, if you can find a string that tames it as well as brings out the best of the string, you will be on to a winner. How did you find this set up in comparison to a full bed of lynx tour? Really like lynx tour but has made the arm a bit too sore. Not sure if that’s because 50lbs is high for that string or if it’s too firm a string for me.
How would you describe Zero/PTP vs crossing with Enso pro and Sync? Have you tried PTP Spin/PTP as a comparison? I found that very stiff and powerful even at 48lbs. I tried it with Zero/Wasabi-X and was impressed at first but eventually got very launchy and powerful.
Lynx tour full bed is very good. I can imagine it to also be a good hybrid string as well. Zero and ptp maybe the one to test next because full bed is good but doesn’t last long and for me right now, it ends up sailing long quite a bit. Not sure why but that is its flaws. Did you not notice the stiffness of zero at over 50lbs and what gauge did you use?
It doesn’t drop much tension until it breaks which is very good. Any reason behind the 4lbs difference? Is this your main set up zero/ ptp?
Will be very interested to see how it does against other strings. Like you said previously, so many strings out there to test. Did you say you had tried ptp and pt spin? Have used that in the past but found that the spin wasn’t that good as well as the feel. Full bed of ptp was better but a lot of people like the ruud set up. Wonder if the zero and ptp betters it. Will be surprised if hyper g round is better but I don’t particularly like hyper g in any of their versions. Much prefer confidential and tour bite soft.
Sounds like the real deal and a perfect set up for the ezone. Did you find the ptp had enough control after several to still be able to harness that power and spin from the zero. Were you able to flatten out groundstrokes with that much spin and did the serves feel and play good?
As long as the comfort is there and you can also hit good flat shots, it will be worth a go. Did you try ptp in the mains at any point with zero or did zero have to go in the mains out of these 2 strings?
I am very tempted to try out this set up now. Debating between this string set up, full bed of rpm rough or lynx tour 18. Just to clarify, you said you had zero in the mains and ptp in the crosses when you used it? Would you change it to the other way round now after using these 2 strings?
not sure if you’ve mentioned this or not, but have you noticed a difference between the various colors of PTP?
Have you tried them both at a lower tension? Tbh wouldn’t be going that high myself if I was to try this set up as the firmness of the zero would probably be felt on the arm. I guess zero has to be played slightly higher so that ball doesn’t sail long.
Has anyone tried the PTP blue? Any difference in comfort? Blue on blue would like nice, lol
Same comfort more slick
Thanks
