soft and spin friendly string

[zedek]

hi, I am looking for a soft and spin friendly copoly that is medium power. Any recommendations other than the following four? Big hitter black 7, double AR twice shark, polyfibre tcs, and quadro twist. I am currently using gamma rzr, but just wanted to try something new especially if it offers more spin.:neutral:

I would recommend gosen sidewinder Weiss cannon black 5 edge, dunlop black widow, and tecnifirbre atp razor code (blue)

 

[Backhanded Compliment]

Tour Bite Diamond Rough

Tour bite soft

Yonex Poly Tour Pro 1.25

Black 5 Edge

Cyclone tour

Tourna Black 7. #1 in Spin according to RSI. Just a tad softer than synthetic gut. If you are prone to break poly's, then go to the 16g. Otherwise, enjoy the 17g.

If you're not a string breaker, I also suggest Big Hitter Black 7 17g and Cyclone Tour (red) 18g.

Without knowing the racquet size or string pattern, I would recommend trying Volkl Cyclone at a thin gauge and strung lower in tension. Preferably one of the colors, but if you're racquet has a lot of power, go with orange. Pink and yellow are pretty lively and black is fairly "dead". Orange is a nice in-between.

Try Kirschbaum Spiky Shark ( yellow). I just tried them in a used racquet I bought and I REALLY like the way they play and the spin I get.

The best string for your purposes could be Solinco Tour Bite Soft.

Try BHBR 17ga in the 48-52 lb range in full bed, not hybrid.
Once you find the right tension for your frame you'll love it.

In my experience BHB7 17 was finished by the 4th hour. It lost so much of its spin potential that I had to dump it.

I agree. I had such high hopes for this string. I bought 3 or 4 sets since it had been on sale. I cut it out after about two days of playing. I can't afford paying a stringer to re-string that often. If I had a stringing machine I would get really tired of re-stringing every two days. So that went off my list of usable strings and got rid of the rest of those sets.

To each his own but I couldn't disagree more. I normally get about 20 hours out of it but I hit a fairly flat ball with only moderate topspin.

I agree. The power level is high.

I have found it goes off after 4 or 5 hours but kind of comes back to life later, perhaps due to tension loss. The first couple of hours are magical though.

I like Head Sonic Pro and Isospeed Baseline. Basically the same string.
