Me: Current 3.5/4.0 player (former 4.5 club player) with long, fast strokes. Getting the rust off and hoping to play some USTA matches / team tennis in the Spring. I plan to buy a reel of string after testing (I string my own racquets).
Current Racquet: Yonex Vcore Pro 97 330g 2019 @ 50lb
Strings I've Tested:
- Hyper G 16: I really like the control, spin, and "feel", but sometimes I get a little too much power or a weird launch angle.
- Tour Bite 16: Really enjoy the low-power, spin, and control, but don't quite like the "feel" as much as Hyper G. Sometimes the power is just too low on chip shots.
- Volkl Cyclone 16: I like the low-power, control, spin, and it felt the most predictable of the three. I enjoyed it, but I like the "feel" of Hyper G and even Tour Bite more
- Tecnifiber Black Code 16: This was my previous string of choice, but I didn't love it in this new racquet.
Strings I'm testing next:
- Signum Pro Yellow Jacket 17
- Volkl V-Torque 17
- Solinco Revolution 17
I love hitting with the Hyper G, but I don't think it's the best string for my game at the moment. Cyclone seems to fit my game best, and tour bite is a close second. Are there any other similar strings you would recommend that don't break the bank?
Do you guys have any recommendations for a player like me? Would a different gauge for Hyper G change the issues I'm having? I would love that feel, control, and spin with more predictability.
