Hi AceyMan. Thank you for trying HDMX! It is one of my personal favorites! One of our most technological strings to date......until Triax
. Please know that HDMX is a softer FUSION string, while TRIAX is firmer & more durable. If you snag a set, please let me know your experience. Helps me learn!
Hi g4driver. Unfortunately, the ship has sailed on HDX Tour. While it sold well and was widely accepted - it did morph into HDMX for the reason you struggled with. HDX Tour never came on reels - for reasons I won't get into - so it was re-processed into HDMX so it could come on reels. Vague I know, but please know that HDMX is the exact same construction, just processed differently so it could be a more consistent string over longer lengths (i.e. Reels).
Give credit where credit is due. I'm not as active as I used to but I think you're doing a splendid job here and hope you keep it up. It's a pleasure reading your posts - the most recent example is the change from HDX Tour to HDMX. No, sorry for the word, bs marketing explanation just an honest answer - sold OK, couldn't produce in reels, had to be tweaked.
If I'm able to play I'm definitely going to try it. Cheers!Starting soon you will see opportunities to get the string just prior to launch. Not sure If I'm allowed to say where & when - but keep an eye open on TW
Tennis is such a game of sensations - that I'm not surprised by your finding. For me, it is the opposite! Who knows and perhaps why we need to keep connecting on these message boards!
Bought 4 of PRCW to last me 2 years I think. Will worry mess with strings later. Thanks.

Thank You for answering my questions. I enormously appreciate this thread, and how well it is monitored. In my eyes, brands like Head, Wilson, and Babolat have lost their touch with their customers. Everything Tecnifibre that I use is a great product, and they, along with Yonex, make me feel like I actually matter to them with little touches like these. I actually tried the Red Code, and to me, it feels like a more crisp. responsive string than razor code. One more question, does Tecnifibre still make the Pro Overgrip Slim. Recently tried it instead of my go-to Head Super Comp, and I really like it. Thanks again.
Hi Again! Thank you for the generous words about Tecnifibre. They truly are a special brand and company (and in many ways a family). What country are you located in? In the US we don't offer the Pro Contact Slim, but if my memory serves me - I believe Europe may still offer it. Hope it helps!
That's unfortunate, but still thank you very much!
I would be interested in seeing how long it actually lasts before breaking. It is expensive for a full set if it does not last, at $20.
Exactly the same feeling for me g4driver. HDX Tour was the most lively multi of all, a true 'synthetic guts'. It's been a big loss and I am still looking for a replacement string. I have tried X-one biphase, HDMX and TRIAX and others but they are more muted as you said. It seems the main difference with other multi is the high efficiency coefficient given by tennis warehouse in the comparison string tool, where HDX Tour stands out and was similar to gut. Maybe gut is the sole alternative after such unique and fantastic multi string?
What gauge of the HDX Tour did you use?
i was using 1.30 (16).
-more like this "syngut or multi at 24/23k "
It's true I hardly feel the difference between the 2 but the Triax makes some weird noise when I pull tension on it while I didn't hear that noise with the RPX.
Any?
For me grey is a bit stiffer and controlled and blue more powerful and softer. But it is not a huge difference. Haven’t tried white yet.
is this string also good as hybrid with poly ? This guys keeps saying Triax is just like Natural gut
I think it works fine in hybrids but never learned to like it in full bed. Many say it's the best of both worlds but for me the Triax glass is half empty rather than half full. A devoted poly user as I've become.
sorry technifibre rep but indeed hdx sucks, it feels like rubber or chewing gum and it makes your stringbed lockup. hopefully you guys can create another shaped poly that is durable but does feel elastic and precise.
I think the newest of them, white (Medvedev's choise) that is, is a bit livelier than the blue. Haven't tried any other color. Good control strings with very little free power. If you want a bit more pop, try the Ice Code. It offers brilliant control with great spin for a round poly but is pretty powerful. One of my favourite strings in low powered racquets. It looks pretty stiff on paper but the coating makes it pretty comfortable too, a lot more comfortable than Razor Code.
