    Just in case you read this one punch; Because you change around racquets, strings and tensions, it will take a very long time to get the correct benefit from any hybrid. The board of players and their string setups was really interesting. But at any rate, I've been hybriding for about 15 years in an effort to save money on Champion's choice and here's where I've landed and why.
    * So right off the bat I'm in a different world than a hard hitting 5.0 playing Big Banger in a Pure Drive. My racquet setup has dropped to a SW of 315, I"m playing the Shift 300 99.
    * My holy grail of string setup would be a little of everything, but it has to be comfortable. My bed needs to give me spin when I want it, control always and a bit of pop. In the hybird game you can dial in any level of pocketing you desire, but I've learned that a bit of crispness and some pocketing are ideal for control. Too much pocketing might feel great on the arm, but many balls will go into the net.
    So here's what works and what doesn't:
    Works: Mid range tension. Mains: Power, spin, not too stiff. Crosses: control, comfort.
    Does not work: Weird tensions might start off ok but change constantly and you'll get lost. The exception is if one string loses a bunch of tension quickly and then settles (Game changer comes to mind). Mains: too stiff and under powered given the climate. I can play Head Lynx Tour in the summer but not the winter. Crosses: I think the selection of crosses is the most important variable in the hybrid setup, here's what doesn't work for me: #1 high power or very slippery strings like Ghost Wire or Cream. These kinds of crosses result in terrible launch and no control. Finding one that works is not easy, but I have 2 that I can count on. They're both poly's, stiffer (lower power) and not overly slick.
    Right now it's winter, I'm playing in 40-60 degree buildings, my strings are Ghost Wire or Game changer in the mains, Isospeed v18 or Tec Ice Code in the crosses. Either string at about 50.

I usually get my crosses strung 4lbs lighter than my mains. But I was playing with the Wilson Profiles 95 and those racquets eat up strings. Great job on the video my friend.

    Hey guys. Your channel is really cool. I'm thinking about making a hybrid with the game changer (main) and sniper tour (cross), and/or game changer (main) and M8 (cross). Do you think it would be a good mix for spin but at the same time have control in terms of ball direction, consistency, predictability? Blade V9 16x19. I like angles, variations, entering the court more than staying at the bottom and spinning too high (hence the "obsession" with direction lol). I'm looking for more control, not so much spin. Do you have any suggestions using these mentioned strings?

    I've been using a hybrid poly setup for the last 2 years. I went from using a full bed of Hyper G 17 gauge on a Pure Aero 2019 to using Hyper G 17 gauge in the mains and IsoSpeed Spin 17 gauge in the crosses. I found that Hyper G was just too stiff and lacked too much power as a full bed. With the IsoSpeed Spin 17 in the cross I find that I get snap back with the Hyper G like never before, more control and more power with the different cross. Plus, I haven't felt like I lost any spin potential.

    Aloha Beckett,
    I love your creativity and the drama was DRAMATIC! I was waiting to see if tears were going to start flowing down your face! 😢
    On the serious side, have you ever tried a thick-thin poly/poly hybrid setup? Like a 17g main and 18g cross, or a 16g/17g?
    I've been using this thick-thin setup for a while now and believe it can combine the best of both worlds. In my opinion (theory), there are three benefits.
    1) Since the mains are the "working strings," you get durability and control from the thicker main strings.
    2) Since the crosses are the "supporting strings," you get more power from the thinner strings.
    3) The spin potential is enhanced, with the thicker mains "popping out" of the string bed due to the thinner crosses, allowing the main strings to grab the ball more (string-to-ball friction), while the thinner cross string will allow for more snapback (string-to-string friction).
    As for a main string, would you consider a (uniform) textured string like Babolat RPM Rough 17? I've been using this as a main string because of its decent tension maintenance and spin potential, combined with an 18-gauge round or very slightly shaped cross string. I feel the uniform textured string creates a more "pocketing" feel as opposed to a round string that feels like it "takes off."
    Anyway, food for thought! 🤙

    Heavy topspin player here with an Aero 98 - and I'm finding heavily shaped strings (game changer, wasabi pro hybrid) are punishing while I'm trying to add more flat shots to my game. I've found myself going back to 6-siders on the crispy side (tour bite, also like confidential and super toro), but am interested in trying some hybrids for the feel. I've got a half set of Touch VS waiting in my bag for it's perfect partner, and thinking of giving Tour Bite 17 / Touch VS 16 a go. But I also have sets of Sniper, M8, Lynx Tour, K-Pop, Razor Soft... all have yet to be tried.

    Is this Soprano ending going to be a sort of trend here now or som'in?
    To be fair Ultra Cable is pretty sharp. Maybe not as sharp as a star-shaped string, sure, but for a squared string its edges are incredibly defined. Maybe it's because they reshape a round string into a square, not sure if shaving it or compressing, I think the latter. Same for Rock and Power.
    Do I remember correctly that you once suggested as a substitute for zero/wasabi, in terms of snapback, MSV swift (among others, such as PT Fire)? If so, have you tried Bussard? According to them is more oriented to control and spin, was wondering if it could make a good cross as well (great price-point).
    Also, Poly Power Pro from Pacific has an outstanding "score" in TWUs in terms of string friction. I only tried a full bed in a Prestige MP GT gen (the PT57A mold, same 18x20 pattern as the pro tour as well so pretty dense), and have to say allowed pretty decent spin.
    Also, PT Rev from Yonex is basically same as PT fire but 8-sided?

    • @TennCom
      @TennCom  4 місяці тому +1

      I haven't heard of Bussard. MSV is largely off my radar because they don't have a huge presence in North America. TBH I can barely keep up with Toroline's new releases... it feels like the string selections are infinite. Idk if PT Rev is the same, but I wasn't a fan in a full bed. Nothing bad, but nothing great.

    Question, I have to play tennis on a budget, I would like to play with a softer setup and keep my opponent on the base line. Currently using solinco confidential 18g @55lbs for control and I love it but find that the ball hits the service line or maybe a foot past the service line and my opponent just steps in and crushes balls. Should I be trying to go for a hybrid setup with poly/multi, poly/poly or poly/gut? I cannot afford to change strings every month or every other month unfortunately and am looking for a setup that can last the length of a rec league season. I’m a 3.5 player, I play singles/doubles and play two to three times a week with a 2 hour group lesson once a week. I’m lost and looking for advice. O and I string at 55 cause if I string at lower tension with the 18g the strings just loosens up to much and ball just flys on me. I went with 18 to try and save my shoulders a bit with poly cause I’m not a huge string breaker.

    • @TennCom

      I’m not a physicist. Can’t tell if this experiment is scientifically valid. There’s only one way to test it. Same racket, same string, same tension but you (somehow) fix the mains and crosses in one racket to measure the difference in spin. Even then when you glue the cross and mains intersections, that’ll change the tension. So it’s not easy to do a really controlled experiment.

    • @snickaren111
      @snickaren111 2 місяці тому

      Your intuition is absolutely right. Snap back might have a spin effect on the NEXT SHOT since the strings are rightly placed again, and not dislocated from the shot before. But to think that snap back affect the ball in real time is just nuts. (I can imagine that the slow motion footage might look cool though, as if snap back would give the ball energy upon impact, but that is nothing that really happens..)

    These poor people use the modern giant artificial rackets and artificial strings to give them the things they cannot develop themselves. It’s the person not the racket/strings. When tennis was really played by talented people in the 80’s and early 90’s they had one rackets gut strings and a bottle of water. The talent had to come from within. Now you have a society full of tennis nuts who spend their days looking for something to assist them in playing. Can you imagine if they actually had to play with real equipment.
