Squash strings for tennis

[Anni.Angel]

I purchased 3 reels of Tecnifibre X-One Biphase 1.24, 200m labeled squash. The string was orange and the price was 178 Eur. About half the price you pay for the white one, labeled "tennis"

I also had a reel of the tennis version of exactly the same string.

The differences between the two were that the squash onw was slightly better. It was slightly softer and slightly slicker which provided better spin and better power at the same time.

In my experience the squash string was better.

Are there any other squash string that any of you used successfully for tennis?

any change in durability?

Nope I didn't notice any major change in durability.

X-One Biphase usually breaks fast, if you go lower than 1.24 it might not last you a match, it will brake in less than 2 hours.

Tecnifibre X-One Biphase Tennis vs Squash

Hi Guys, Tecnifibre has X-one Biphase in 1.18 gauge for tennis and squash. Are those the same strings? Both says PU400.

It really depends on the racquet, I play a 95 18x20 and even 18g X-One squash works well in that frame.

@Happi Hi! Do you play them full bed or hybrid? I combine the squash x-one with babolat rpm blast. Do you have any better suggestions?

Yes both FB and hybrid. The best combo I have found so far is X-One orange mains with TF Multifeel black 17 in the crosses. As you know the squash x-one have a different coating compared to the natural version, MF black have kind of the same coating and they works really well together. I string MF 1-2 kg lower.
