I also got that set and was confused by it given there was no messaging from Toroline... havent hit with it yet!

do you think thr similar, interesting, for me game changer is spinnier and bit stiffer - as its a squared string but toroline is more comfortable - slightly better feel - but longs longer - i do prefer wasabi, but liked game changer

I'm currently liking the firewire boost (18g) from Tru Pro. Ideally, I'd like some similar spin wise, but maybe slightly softer if thats possible. Can anyone suggest a combo from Toroline? Would it be safe to start with their pre packaged Wasabi hybrid?

yeh thr hybrid has very good reviews, i have it, just waiting to string it

Yes. Wasabi X is supposedly a soft slippery string.
I might be in the minority, bu prefer their 6 sided strings over the square wasabi. I could probably playtest firewire boost alongside Super toro/wasabi X. Since I havent used firewire in a bit.
@MaiTai or anyone who's had the chance to play Wasabi X, I'm looking for the absolute most slick, preferably round, co-poly to run as a cross, but something that doesn't rely on a coating (ex: RPM, Poly Tour Fire/Rev, etc.), rather something whose slippery-ness remains more or less permanent (ex: Hawk, Revolve, Tour M8, etc.). Do Toroline's polys feel more like the latter? And if so, would you say they're as slippery as those examples, or perhaps even more so? Thanks in advance for any info you can lend.
All Toroline strings remain slippery until they break, you can even use their shaped strings as a cross, I run Supertoro as a cross for Wasabi main, and it works great.
I haven't tried full bed supertoro yet, probably gonna be my next string job. I didn't like the full-bed Caviar, but that's my personal taste. But the rest of their line up are all very good. Wasabi X feels a little soft to me, that's why I used Supertoro as a cross.
Yes. Not talking about other characteristics, but the snapback(slickness) longevity of the toroline strings is the best of any strings I've played.
Thanks again. That's all I need to hear. I know for other characteristics, Wasabi X may be softer and/or more muted/plasticky than I'm looking for, but I can forgive that (to an extent) in the vein of finding the slickest cross possible for hybrids, to help those non-poly's slide as much and as long as possible throughout the string bed life. And yes, I realize the silicone and wax covered stuff might be able to do it better to begin with (RPM, YPT Fire, G-Tour 1 and 3, IsoSpeed polys, etc.) but the slickness of that stuff is fleeting, usually wearing down in under a couple hours -- I'm after the highest amount of permanent slickness. Maybe Wasabi X will be it. We will see!

I am enjoying Wasabi X as a cross with Super Toro. Started notching after an hour so YMMV, but still slippery. I wont be playing much the next few weeks, but for the price and your favorite coupon code, it is worth a set or two trial. I plan to do ST/Enso next to see if I can get a little more pop out of ST.
Actually, not that huge a concern. My primary use for Wasabi X will be as the absolute most permanently-slippery cross possible for non-poly mains, so chances are it will notch the mains, less so the other way around.
Didn't have the chance to test it yet.
Gonna put Wasabi X Crosses with Wasabi Mains in my VC98 on the Weekend and maybe YPTS or Wasabi or Tour Hex/Wasabi X in my EZ98.
Supertoro is stiffer than wasabi, better control less spin. Wasabi is quite comfortable, it's among those soft poly options. Maybe you strung it too high.

I tried Wasabi Pink and Caviar yellow, excellent tension maintenance and snapback, definitely on the softer side ( not a Tour Bite string for example) but didnt work at my tension below 30 lbs

Super Toro is stiffer than Wasabi. More comparable to Confidential, Tour Sniper @ S7T. I really like it though, but I like stiffer strings. I’m finally trying K Pro & also ordered some Wasabi X to experiment as a cross string. I wished they sold the Wasabi separately in the carbon color. I like a stiffer string, the pink Wasabi is softer they say. They use in the K Pop with Caviar for a softer feel. The snap back of Wasabi is as good as it gets though.

Currently using green Wasabi in mains crossed with TP Ghostwire. Superb combination in my Blade V8 16M. It still doesn't notch after 16 or so hours. Toroline sent me a package of their Pro hybrid (Wasabi for mains/ Wasabi X for crosses). Have yet to try it but I'm hearing Wasabi X is just as slick as Ghostwire - maybe slightly stiffer than GW but still quite comfortable.

I just played the same combination in the same frame except using the carbon color. Wasabi works really really well Ghostwire. So much so I may switch to Wasabi/GW from my usual Black Knight/GW hybrid. I tried Wasabi X once as a cross and I prefer GW as a cross in my hybrids. Holds tension better without giving up anything vs. X.

I am playing wasabi next week - just stringing it up today.
I want to try super toro bc of the color lol.
Wasabi Pom red looks like it’s hot pink. I chose that bc there was a red, pink and green option. Guess it’s two pink

Stiff- Super Toro(crisper Confidential), Wasabi is medium stiffness(great snap back) & Caviar softess of all.
I’ve been using the wasabi mains/wasabi x crosses strung at 47 m/x for a week or so. Maybe 6 hours playing time 4.5 doubles. Playability has not declined much in this time and mains notching isn’t anything out of the ordinary (maybe a bit more than HGS). Tension loss doesn’t seem to be more than what I’m accustomed to (HGS ALU). I will say I was expecting more spin potential but it’s not bad. Depth is easier because of this. Volleys are nice with a good controllable feel and serves are good but not Alu good. I’m interested to try their other offerings. Thinking about hybriding wasabi with Alu mains next time.

So I strung up wasabi (red Pom.) 53/50 hybrid tension in my Tfight iso 305
Played tonight. Won’t say I hit terribly. But it was different. Opened up a bit. Got some good bite on my backhand. Seemed to shank some forehands. I do miss my round polys since I hit flatter. My top spin forehand seemed to sit up a bit more. Felt like I lost some bite instead it just sat up.
Could’ve been an off night but felt like I was missing my spots on serve. Too many balls put in my opponents wheel house. Defintely did not get enough on slice serves. Seemed to sit up.
Some positives are I was finding good depth.
Not enough bite on forehand top spin shots.
After 2 hours - overall first impressions don’t suit my game. I had better results with 6 sided poly (Mayami tour hex). Will try super toro next.
I will continue to play this string out until it’s done. I could’ve strung it too high too.
Could also take time to get used to.

Hey 1HFH - just wondering what you thought of the Pro hybrid, and what tension you used. We have the same racket (Blade v8 16m) and I’ve got some sets of the hybrid on the way. Figured I’d start with something like 50/48?
Also looking forward to this possibly turning my ugly racket into an even uglier one. Puke brown/green racket with neon blue and green strings? What an eyesore I’m gonna be!

Why do you care? Its all about how well the string plays

If I cared, I wouldn’t be playing with this setup, would I. I didn’t buy the racket or the strings on accident.
Also: I did not expect this comment to come from “aesthetics above all else!”

Posting before watching:
I jumped on the Boxing Day sale (35% off) and ordered:
(2) Enso Pro (Carbon Gray)
(2) Wasabi X
(2) Snapper
(2) Absolute
(2) Caviar 16L 1.24 Neon Yellow
This will be my first time testing Toroline. I'm less drawn towards their extreme shaped stuff (which in my experience plays too erratically, regardless of brand) and more interested in their round and/or most slick strings, in pursuit of the slickest cross for hybriding with synthetics/gut mains, and/or a softer cross in a poly/poly hybrid.
I'll make sure to update how it goes as I play these.

Samsies.. got toro toro, snapper, enso pro pink and wasabi pro on order. I’m most curious of snapper and enso pro though in my 100D.

Only two strings hav given me arm/shoulder problems.
Toroline wasabi and Mayami tour hex.
Maybe you can string wasabi in the low 40s. But wow. I’ve done stiff polys before. RAZOR code and ice code come to mind. But not uncomfortable.
Very cheap plasticky feel.
Never again.
5 hours in and my shoulder needs some serious treatment.

Even Wasabi is pretty mild as far as square shaped options go. I’d say less sharp of an edge than even Hyper-G.
Interesting to note. I may scoop some up in a second buy if I like the general playability enough in this first group of strings.

If you want a set of wasabi - red Pom. DM me

Totally agree. I have tried Toroline, Restring etc…. and they are decent strings but nothing all that special. A solid marketing strategy to target the YouTubers to get their company names out there. But if I have to hear one of them go on and on about snapback one more time I am going to lose it
Very straight-shooting perspectives here. Good to balance the hype with some objective reality.

I’m still convinced Karue is using yellow Poly tour Pro.
No way he’s using this garbage especially at 62 lbs.

He’s a gear sl** just like the rest of us. He’s switched racquets and strings more in the last two years than Tennisnerd.

I’ll say I switch/dabble in trying strings. Ice code 1.25 is my go to but it took TF to hold a 50% off sale for me to commit to a reel.
Most of us rec players look for value in strings.
Racket wise : I don’t switch at all. I’ve met folks who constantly change rackets and the process never stops.
Edit: also if anyone does want good quality strings at a good price: highly recommend tourna. Big hitter blue and blue rough were great. Tourna silver7 tour : also a nice steel. BH blue is 79 a reel. 7 tour is 105.
