Hybrid Stringing Tennis Guide
For more details read the Hybrid Stringing Tennis Guide here: brianbollmantennis.com/resources/hybrid-stringing-tennis/
Hybrid stringing is taking two different strings and combining them in your tennis racket setup. In this video we discuss how it works, some examples, and some general guidance on the hybrid stringing process.
For most players a hybrid string setup makes the most sense. Full polyester might be too stiff and lack the power and feel your looking for but a full bed of synthetic, natural gut, or multifilament might just be way too much power so a hybrid is a logical choice.
Hybrid stringing is essential a tempering process. Your mains contribute to about 80% of the playability (at least on ground strokes and spin serves) so it's a question of what string you want the effects of more. For a lot of players a polyester main with some kind of multifilament cross is the way to go. For those looking to spend a little more tempering natural gut mains with a polyester cross also makes a lot of sense.

Yonex Polytour Strike Review and Playtest
Переглядів 4 тис.4 роки тому
Full Review: brianbollmantennis.com/services/stringing/yonex-polytour-strike/ Yonex Polytour Strike is a harder more control oriented polyester tennis string. It has an interesting response fresh off the stringer but I found that it settled in very stiffly and resulted in a pretty harsh overall playing experience after the initial few hours. If you have arm issues this is definitely a string to...
Genesis Spin-X Review and Playtest
Переглядів 5374 роки тому
Full Review: brianbollmantennis.com/services/stringing/genesis-spin-x/ Genesis Spin-X is a textured polyester tennis string that as the name suggests is all about generating spin and extra ball bite. While it may not offer as much bite as say Tier One's Firewire it certainly is an above average textured polyester that you can get on the cheap. My biggest complaint is the lack of response and fe...
Tennis Racket Stringing Speed Run
Переглядів 2,2 тис.4 роки тому
This took me approximately 18 minutes and 38 seconds on a 16x19 Babolat Aero Pro Drive. I was inspired by a video by the French Open on racket stringing which stated on average it takes their stringers 15 minutes to string a racket. That seemed insane to me at the time but with the right machine and weaving technique it's possible if you discount the prep time. For this speed run I already moun...
Yonex Polytour Pro Review and Playtest
Переглядів 11 тис.4 роки тому
Full Review: brianbollmantennis.com/services/stringing/yonex-polytour-pro/ Personally I found Yonex Poly Tour Pro to be pretty generic. It was softer than most but apart from this I found this string to perform like any old generation one polyester tennis string. I know this is a highly rated and popular polyester. For those of you who really love it please share your racket and playing style a...
Starting Clamp: Bridging to the Tension Head
Переглядів 4,2 тис.4 роки тому
This is a starting clamp technique you can use when you can't reach the tension head for the final main or cross but still have plenty of string for a tie off. Very rarely will this happen to you but when it does you'll be thankful for this technique.

Full Article Here: brianbollmantennis.com/the-universal-around-the-world-string-pattern/ The universal around the world string pattern is used when doing a one piece string job and the mains end up in the throat. With this method you'll string the top cross with the short side and the bottom cross/final main with the long side so that for the remainder of the racket you are stringing top to bot...

Tennis Stringing - 4 Methods for Starting Mains
Переглядів 34 тис.4 роки тому
Full Article: brianbollmantennis.com/resources/tennis-stringing-starting-mains/ 4 Different Methods/Techniques on how to start mains. This is specifically for those of you working on constant pull machines where once you hit that tension button there's no stopping it. I personally use the first method but that requires you to use a starting clamp. There are pro's and con's to all of these metho...
Tecnifibre ATP Razor Code Review & Playtest
Переглядів 4,7 тис.4 роки тому
Full Review: brianbollmantennis.com/services/stringing/tecnifibre-atp-razor-code/ Razor Code is the “official string” of the ATP tour but unfortunately it’s unlikely to be the string that takes you to the big leagues. It’s fine in pretty much every way and I will say that for a string with a very muted feel it’s not as harsh on the arm as many others. That being said for the price I think it’s ...
TRU PRO Tour Status Review & Playtest
Переглядів 2,2 тис.4 роки тому
Another quality high performance polyester string from TRU PRO I think for the vast majority of 3.5-4.5 players with modern strokes you’ll either go with Fire Wire or Tour Status. Fire Wire produces a ton of spin if you’re primarily hitting topspin groundstrokes while Tour Status offers a little more of that all around playability and little more pop off the string bed. Tour Status is a great a...

Well now we got some tennis balls to try. In this video we look at the grey label club edition tennis ball that promises "ultimate durability." Main takeaway they are pretty good but not life changing.
Head Lynx Tour Review & Playtest

The Full String Review Can Be Read Here: brianbollmantennis.com/services/stringing/head-lynx-tour/ Lynx Tour has actually been around for awhile. It's claim to fame is that Dominic Thiem used it as a cross string when he won Indian Wells. I was given a test set but wanted to wait for the string to actually release before posting this review. I think the string is fine but for players used to he...

To be totally transparent I've been pretty exclusive to Nike and Adidas the last few years and thus why brands like New Balance and Asics are not even mentioned. I'm hoping to try some more shoes and 2020 and re...
