Which is the best string for my Yonez EZone 100

[LCHtennis]

Hi everybody,
I need some help: I have the new Yonex EZONE 100 with Polytour Pro 16L stringing at 57 lbs (around 25,5 kg).
I really love the control that I have with the tension and the power too. The thing is I am not a 100 convinced that this is the best set up for this raquette.
So now I am looking for a new string to bring a lot of control without loosing the power that I can have. I have no arm issues nor problems generating power.
Someone told me to try the Solinco Confidential, is it a good match?
Is there any other strings that can suites the raquette better?
Thanks for your help
LCH

You're asking a conceptual question with so many potential answers. Of course, there are EZ100 owners who will tell you what they like for their game. But is it a match for YOUR game? Yonex PTP is really a extraordinary string and you say you love the control and have plenty of power? My guess is that PTP becomes your reference string and you'll end up going back to it no matter what else you try. Yes, Solinco Confidential is a nice poly, but I'd put it just below PTP for my game and shotmaking. There are advantages to using a gut/poly hybrid, but since you have no arm issues, I doubt the cost/advantage ratio is in your favor.

Confidential will be slightly more tempered and controlled than PTP, but it will also be noticeably lower-powered and will feel more muted, almost dead, in comparison. Since the EZone is already partially muted as it is, I think you may find that the combo will just feel too vague, muted and ambiguous overall. If you still want to find out how far you can push in that direction, then I guess I have at it with Confidential, but otherwise I would look more towards string with more crisp/raw feel, that still have a nice mix of control/power. Here are some to try:

Round:
Head Hawk Touch
MSV Bussard

Shaped:
Grapplesnake Tour Sniper (medium firm/crisp)
Tier One DuraFluxx (medium-soft, but still firm/crisp)

How is the MSV Bussard?

Hi all, which strings would u recommend for the ezone 100 to provide more control and lower a bit the power generated? I find myself going too deep and out, though i like the feeling with the rackets, so i was wondering what could be a good setup to adjust that. I'm beginner-intermediatez
playing at least 2 times a week+class.

If you're at the 2.5-3.0 NTRP level, I think the best move may be to continue working on your technique before trying to adjust string choice. That said, many polys will offer low power and better spin to keep the ball on the court. Learn to generate more topspin with strings like Yonex PTP, Kirchbaum Pro line Evo or Solinco Hyper G as your strokes get better.

How old are you? Health / injury history? My first inclination would be to go with a solid synthetic gut.

I'm 30, 1.82 tall per 65 kg, playing 2/3 times a week even though i would play all days hehe just to say i'm well in shaped! No injuries in the past.

If you want a more controlled syn gut, try out Gosen OG Sheep Micro
