Topspin Cyber Blue?

[turpin.josh]

I was looking at another website and came across Topspin Cyber Blue... Is this is the same as Cyber Power? Also, I think I am going to try a Cyber Power/PSGD setup in my Hybrid Sharks. I usually string my multis/synthetic guts around 57 pounds. What should I string the new combo at?

 

[stanfordtennis alum]

yes, im about 99% sure this is the same string as cyber power.. i think the manufacturer changed the name of the string from cyber power to cyber blue..
they should be the same exact string.. can any1 confirm this??

 

[Stan]

Yes. Same string.

Pro's Pro have a Cyber power. This is probably why Topspin had to change

If I am a first time co-poly user, and usually string my synethetics/multis around 57 pounds, what should I string the Cyber Power/PSGD hybrid at?

I will also post a review of the Cyber Power string since it's coming from a first-time poly user

I start all my poly customers, at the bottom of the tension range, for the racquet. If they are doing a hybrid, I add 5 lbs, for a synthetic gut.

If you are using the OS Shark go 55/60; if you are using the MP Shark go 53/58.

Yeah, I emailed Topspin about it and they confirmed Topspin Cyber Power = Topspin Cyber Blue. Well I hope their intent and what they wrote are the same, they wrote back in pretty funky English.



weh ad to change the Name!! It´s the same string.

Just placed the order for the Topspin Cyber Power/Prince Synthetic Gut with Duraflex Black . Does everyone agree I should string the Cyber Power at 55 and the PSGD 60 if I normally string my multi's/synthetics around 56-57? Do you think this hybrid will last me, tension wise, a couple months possibly till mid-August?

have anyone tired the topspin cyber blue with topspin cyber flash?

DizBoiDanny:

With any poly with poly combination you are going to have to use your own judgement. I'm sure most people on this board don't see a point in mixing two poly's to get a hybrid "feel". But if you want the color combo, you won't feel much of a difference in the strings feel.

I actually gave this a shot for a while. I used the CB in the mains and CF in the crosses. I actually plays pretty nice. I didn't see any really benefit with it however over using my normal Pro Supex Spiral flex or Nat. gut cross.

I currently use CF 1,30 mains, 24,5 kg, with CB 1,25 crosses, 23 kg, on hard courts. This hybrid has a great touch, and CB crosses give good power for a poly setup.

 

[nickarnold2000]

Im actually going to switch from CF to CP. Should I up the tension a little to compensate for the extra power?

So, what's the latest in Cyber Blue land? Can any one help with me with my post above?

nickarnold2000 - hey man...didn't see your post. anyway i had to bump up the tension 1 lb with respect to my regular multi tension and that's with syn gut crosses.

btw - i normally use low powered strings so depends on what you are used to. you may want to go up 2 lbs even if you hybrid. maybe try a 2 lb main/cross differential. mains at say 55 with crosses at 57...u get my drift? wow that's an old expression.

Groovy man! I got it! Hey, a quick question - why do you string the crosses higher than the mains? I always thought that since the crosses are shorter and mains longer, the mains should be strung a little higher to compensate for their tendancy to lose more tension thus resulting in an even tensioned string bed(wow, I actually wrote "thus")!

i've tried and use the JC method which strings the mains at 2 lbs less and crosses at 2 lbs more than target tension. say u want 55 then mains go to 53 and crosses to 57. imo - it makes the stringbed more consistent. there's a detailed explanation at stringforum dot net.

since CB is higher powered, i bump mains up by 1 and drop the crosses 1 lb. it's not exactly what i like but works for those wanting a higher tension. anyway keep on trucking.
