Textured+Thin?

[goblake14]

Are there any strings that are both textured and thin? I like textured for spin, and 18 guagues for the control. I guess I could do a hybrid but I'm not sure if it would help. Right now I am playing with Luxilon Ace 18's at 62.

Thanks

u would get stupid spin with a multi/textured in 18...

"u would get stupid spin with a multi/textured in 18..."
Hybrid or as one string?
Your post is a tad confusing.

Texturized strings are always thick.

Isn't there some thinner kevlar stringings that are slightly textured?

 

[goblake14]

I'm scared of kevlar because of the stiffness. Did a little research, the thinnest textured was Kirschbaum Super Spiky 17, but it the reviews were quite sub-par. Any experience with this string?

Texturized strings are always thick.

i mean like the string is a multi or textured, with a full set up of that you would get stupid spin, even tho u can only get them in 15/16 i think

Gamma TNT Fusion, 19g kevlar mains.

The texturing is of no importance. The point is friction which many multis especially after broke in have a lot of friction do to true texture.

IE x-one has a rough texture perpendicular to the string, you can feel it with your finger, same for NXT and further more over the outer core of NXT crackles at the string points leaving jaged edges, no other string has more texture than that.


Anything else is just plain moronic, you want some thing that will actually grab onto the felt of the ball, no pretend indents on some string.

A related question:
When you have a string with an outer wrap for spin like Ruff, is the gauge the core string diameter or the core + wrap?

Also, a question for Marcus Alsager;
Which is more spin-
Wicked spin? ____
Stupid spin? ____
Sick spin? ____

idk, i only said stupid spin

sry, is stupid bad or good in this? haha

 

[Ripper]

Hummm, now that I think about it, isn't the Babolat Hurricane a texturized string and isn't it available in gauge 18? In know it's not a syn gut, but the OP didn't say it had to be one.

 

[marcus_alsager]

isnt pro hurrican a poly, i just got it in my racket today with razor high life (textured) and ph isnt rough at all

 

[thejackal]

Hurricane is as smooth as Dementieva's legs.

 

[th41291]

Pro Hurricane comes from gauges 15L to 18, is perfectly smooth, polyester, monofilament. Comes in blue for Hybrid applications.

 

[rasajadad]

Hurricane is as smooth as Dementieva's legs.

And a very nice gauge as well.

 

[Ripper]

perfectly smooth

[flash44]

ripper is right, i played with pro hurrican quite a bit before and it isnt smooth at all.

 

[jackson vile]

The point is that it's friction is very very low, as are most Poly mono ect.

 

[th41291]

my hybrid pro hurricane 16's are smooth as sharapova's legs (haha i like her more than dementieva)

Hurricane is as smooth as Dementieva's legs.

Wow she must have some really smooth legs then.
