Hi guys,
I recently got a Wilson Ultra Tour 2.0 and got it strung with:
Mains: Solinco Confidential 1.20 @ 21.5kg (47.4lbs)
Crosses: Tecnifibre NRG2 1.32 black @ 23kg (50.7lbs)
I love the comfort and feel it gives me on touch shots. Flat serves and flat groundstrokes are great too.
But the amount of power is too much for me, combined with not enough spin potential for my liking (forehand, backhand, kick and slice serves). I know it's a 18x20 but the mains get locked really hard into the soft crosses, which makes snapback very difficult. The amount of power makes me hit the ball out too much on full swings. If the spin potential was there, I could control it better with spin.
That's why I was thinking to get it strung next time with either Confidential or Tour Bite Soft mains and Yonex Poly Tour Pro crosses. Probably both 1.20 gauge. Do have Confidential and PTP in 1.15 available as well though.
I hope this will increase the spin potential while still retaining a good level of comfort. I'll get this strung at low tensions. It will of course be less comfortable than my current setup but it will probably still feel comfortable enough for me.
Do you think this will work well for what I'm looking to achieve? Or do you have better ideas? Please help me out.
FYI, the strings I have available are:
-Volkl Cyclone Tour 1.20 red
-Solinco Hyper G Soft 1.20
-Solinco Tour Bite Soft 1.20
-Solinco Confidential 1.15 - 1.20 - 1.25
-Yonex Poly Tour Pro 1.15 - 1.20 blue
-Yonex Poly Tour Pro 1.20 yellow
-Yonex Poly Tour Pro 1.25 black
-Yonex Rexis 1.25 black
-Wilson NXT Control 1.32
-Tecnifibre NRG2 1.32 black
-Mantis Tour Comfort 1.30
