Which string to use with my Wilson Clash 100L

[juan333]

Hi everyone!!! I am a mid level player working on improving my game. I have elbow pain on my right arm since a long time, so I'm wondering if you can recommend me which string to use with my Clash 100L. Also would appreciate if you can suggest what tension to use with the string.

I read about Wilson NXT, TecnifibreNGR2 and Tecnifibre X-One but im confused on which one to choose, and also if I should buy 16 or 17.

Thanks for your help!!

I'd put 17g syn gut in there at around 45 lbs. It's cheap and you can adjust from there. Wilson NXT is pretty smooth around 50 lbs.

Mid level player is 3.5 NTRP? 4.0 NTRP? I suggest using an inexpensive solid core syn gut 16 or even 15L to get the right tension range. You may have to string several times. Then if you find the string lacking somewhere you can explore other syn gut strings like NXT or similar. They are multi-core syn gut strings.

Another advice is that you should rest until your elbow doesn't hurt anymore. Otherwise, maybe it could become chronic? Luckily for me I've never had it before, but I also find that playing with a stiff babolat frame with stiff poly strings offers bad performance.

Most of the multi strings 16 caliber would work well. No 17. No x-one. Tension 49, 2 knots ATW
