Solinco owes you commission. I bought 16L and 17 gauge Confidential string packs to try. Based on this reviews video and the helpful Tennis Spin commentariat.
great job explaining the pros of this string. I've used confidential on a Wilson blade (full bed) and had no problems with it until it eventually lost too much stiffness
Just had a racquet strung with solinco confidential in the mains and Wilson NXT in the crosses. Really like it.
As a Certified Stringer and 4.5 NTRP, I can attest that the Confidential in 17g at 50 lbs cannot be beaten
What do you think about Tourna Big Hitter Silver 7?
I have been waiting for this review
thanks for the info harry.
Took your advice and tried confidential . Was well impressed . Just like tourbite with a bit more arm friendly feel on it and good playability even on a full bed as usually string tourbite in a hybrid due to firmness of it. Not tried hyper g yet might give it a go but have to many strings at the moment .
Great I will try solinco too great video
Totally agree about their marketing. I recall when they first started out here I thought they'd have no hope.
I was in my pro shop....well....they gave away samples all over the country, racquets etc. They were a presence at junior tournaments and so on...
We carried them in store from the early days, but I just thought...they've got no hope going up against the big players in the market and the stings that everybody wanted.
So, here we are some 10 years later and look at them today. How wrong was I 😦
Not only was their marketing clever as per above, but their price point made a huge difference. Why wouldn't players want to try out a new string at a much fairer price point.
Another clever review Kojak....you are totally on a roll.
🎾🎾🎾
P.S. I still haven't tried confidential. I'll get up to it soon I'm sure.
We were all wrong... Thanks for watching.
Your recommendations are on point mate. The Confie and Tour Bite DR hybrid setup is the dogs balls.
“String...”
“What?”
“It’s a string not a racquet!”
Bought hyper G 17 today. Will test next. Your gear recommendations have been very helpful to me. Thanks.
I agree 100% with you. I got to experience the Hyper G for the first time last summer (2020) and man! it was REVELATION to me. My hitting partner asked me why my Rf97 Pro Staff sounded like this and I told him it was the string: comfort, feel, power, spin and SOUND. I'm in LOVE with that string, but my girlgriend don't like it too much...
I use tour bite 17 on my Yonex Ezone 98 and used once the hyper g never used the confidential yet, looking forward to try that one.
Love solinco!
I have it in my DR98 now and I liked TB soft more. Yonex Poly Tour Spin was also very good in that frame
Love the solinco strings; im using the crazy combo of diamond rough on the mains and the confidential on the crosses. crazy amount of power, spin and comfort on my ps 97 which (happily) drives my friends on the other side of the net go crazy! Been a solinco fan for almost 7 years now!
@@guiancarlohabon5279 43/41lbs
How long does the tension hold for?
@@jellymotionorigami7991 there will be an initial drop of about 10-15% after the first two sessions post stringing (my sessions usually last for 2 hours); there after it'll stabilize and maintain for another 30 hours before i change out. Mind you i rotate between two of the same sticks strung at the same time (in effect doubling my total playing time)
@@SidneyNoFrills Thanks that is really helpful. If you leave those strings for a week do they loose tension on their own? Also I have heard that some shaped poly strings can be very bad or uncomfortable for slices and serves, is this the case for you?
@@jellymotionorigami7991 yes they will still drop tension. Both the solinco strings are shaped poly; no issues on my arm, i string them low (41/38) and use a "soft" racquet: blade 98 v7 (RA 61)
Where’s the usual music when you show that short preview of your content ☹️ great vid once again!
I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out why there was no sound. Thought my PC was broken XD
Just tried the Salinco Confidential and it feels great!
I have my 2021 Pure Drive strung with HyperG 16g. 53lbs. 👍 My 2015(?)Aero Pro Lite is strung with the Confidential 16g @52lbs. 👍
Feel the same about hyper g after trying it. I really love certain attributes about it and really wanted to love the string overall but it's just a bit too lively for me and lacks predictability/control when compared against confidential. I don't like how springy it feels as the ball comes off the string bed. I do love the spin I get and how I can see the ball kick off the bounce a bit more and power is great. But just find myself missing more shots wide or long as well. Even with slightly increased spin over confidential, I still find it harder to keep the ball in the court with hyper g. I still like the string to a degree but the pros don't outweigh the cons for me to switch to it permanently. Sticking with confidential for now. I'll take a small reduction in spin potential for a very noticeable gain in control. I've heard head lynx tour is basically like hyper g but with better control so that is next on my list to try.
Thanks for making videos. Can you please do one on how long racquets last? I'm still using a couple microgel prestige pros and play recreationally a few times a week. The racquets feel fine but just not sure if I should be looking into a new frame since the microgels are over 10 years old. Appreciate it.
Strung my RF97 with Solinco Confidential 16L @ 55lbs based on your previous review. I am loving it. :)
I’m using Hyper G 16L at 48lbs in my RF97👌🏻
How it plays on rf97 vs alu power 16
@@silviosarunic6709 not much difference. I tried both. If you cannot generate more power on your own, reduce the tension to 52lbs and try. Just my experience:)
@@srvp2003 thanx for reply :)
I am just looking for cheaper alternative to AluPower / AluPowerRough.i can generate power with my way of playing :)
Many guys told me about this string as a good string , control oriented. I did not try yet but i will next week :-)
@@silviosarunic6709 sounds good. Definitely worth trying. It looks beautiful on RF as well :)
Love your Videos
Love the green strings!! Hvn't tried the softer ver tho...will give it a go!
I've been playing with a hybrid combination of co-poly (black widow 125 main) x multi in 130 gauge @ 54 x 58 lb. I am thinking to switch the firmer Tour Bite 125 as the main. What tension combination that you will recommend? By the way, I have been following your video since the first video and really enjoy them. Thanks. 👍👍
I have used the Kirschbaum Pro Line Evolution and enjoyed it and then tried the ALU Power 125 and it's a lot stiffer, holds tension well too. The Pro Line seemed softer and more spin friendly too...how do you think the Hyper G might play...or the confidential too?
I hit flat, but working to brush up on the ball more on a 98sq ft frame so trying to see how to get more bite when I hit.
Suggestions you have? thank you.
I love the Hyper-G soft 16L!
really like the feel of the confidential ... i play w a lot of spin & power so after three sessions/matches the string is done for me ..it loses too much tension and/or breaks but overall great string
I tried confidential. Love it. Switched.
Just got a set of new Hyper-G at 51 lbs on my Pure Aero, going to test it out tonight!
Pretty good huh
Just a comment on Hyper G. I have 4 identical racquets. 2 were restrung with hyper g 17. The strings seemed very springy and hard to control. I took the other 2 racquets to a different shop and had them strung with hyper g 17 at the same tension. Again, too springy and difficult to control. The spin wasn’t the same, either. The strings have a more translucent look as well. Did Solinco change the chemistry of the string, change factories, change something? The racquets were strung with hyper g, not hyper g soft. Previously, hyper g took maybe 100 balls to alleviate the stiffness. Now, the feel is with fresh hyper g, like it needs to be restrung-way too soft.
Love hyperg, trying guy/confidential from your other video and it’s pretty good
Hyper g is nice but there is like no string maintenance
Great string and movie:) can I ask You what white racket stencil or maybe silver would you recomend:)?
Which would be a good option over ALU power (lime green) for a slightly softer option? Thank you.
How do you feel with Barb Wire in 2020? and what is the best LB. to string it at considering its kinda stiff a bit at the start
I loved tour bite and I've always wanted to try the other strings. It was just a shame that my local shop never had them. But hyper g and confidential are definitely on my to try list
Why don't you just order the strings from tw and bring them to your stringer? This is 2020 isn't it?
@@machigane7902 I appreciate your response. Yes it is 2020. But because of everything that's happening in 2020, playing tennis in addition to unnecessary contact with others doesn't seem like the best idea at the moment.
Well, as long as you don't lick your balls when playing you should be somewhat ok! I played this morning with my neighbor. Also related to these strange times I finally broke down and ordered my own stringing machine. That way, I don't have to depend on anybody else to get my rackets strung! Fwiw I got the Gamma X-ST lockout crank machine. I've got a ways to go but strung my first racket the day I assembled it and tested it out today. You can get a much cheaper dropweight version for like $250 (instead of $899 for mine) and it's fun too. Also motivates me to try different strings/tensions/hybrids etc..... Good luck!
@@machigane7902 Thanks. I actually have been stringing myself for the last 10 years. and i think thats the same model i have. I didn't want to come off sounding rude over online text just in case, but since you mentioned it i figured id put that out there
If anything I'm the one that came across as a rude. If you string yourself, then I go back to my original suggestion of ordering different strings! I'm pretty excited actually to try out all these different strings. I ordered:
Confidential in 17
Tour Bite 17
Vanquish 16 and 17
Gamma Live Wire XP 17
Gamme Live Wire Professional 17
Going to do one racket with full bed of Confidential, then will do hybrids with the tour bite 17. I have been playing with tour bite 17 full bed for years now so I know what that's all about.
Even if you just go to the wall and hit some balls it will an interesting experiment. Good luck.
We string for University of Michigan here as our store and we called Confidential on our stickers Black. Its hard on a stringers fingers😬
I used Hyper G's for years, also used Confidential, and liked both. I was just about to switch to Confidential permanently, but then recently found Tourna Silver 7 Tour, which I've been loving too. They both hit pretty similar to me, except the Silver 7 Tours are quite a bit cheaper ($99/reel vs $160/reel)
Which give more tennis power? Thank you my friend
@@andrewmontone3103 None of them are power strings, they are control strings. If you want power, definitely don't go Solinco.
Hi there, when you say they are not power, that means it’s not for hard hitters or the opposite? Thanks!! I am looking for a string that would help me create mor spin and help me push the ball faster since I don’t have a very heavy or strong swing
Thanks for the advice !!
Love Solinco. Hyper G on my main & Vantage on my crosses. Put on my Wilson Clash. Thanks for your recommendation. Hitting the crap out of the ball.
Thats exactly my setup on the exact same racquet ! What are the odds ! Hows it working for you ?
What tension are you running ?
@@amirjon I think you're asking him, but mine is 51 (poly) 53(multi).
@@sagniksingha nice. I think I will try it down the line. I have some wrist pain so I went with Triax at 51, we'll see how that does in the clash.
@@amirjon Sounds good brother. Thanks.
In a previous video you had Hyper G in your top polys number 2 ? You don’t seem quite as keen on It now. I have bought some so I will see how it goes may try confidential later. Thanks
What string does solinco confidential play similar to for a comparison? Would it be like a Prince Tour or a Head Sonic Pro?
Have you tried a Confidential and Gut hybrid? If so what tension? Thx
Which gauge would you recommend for the Confidential. 16l or 17?
I was told that Hyper G was in between Tour Bite and Tour Bite Soft in regards to Firmness/Softness.
yes exactly, tour bite soft is the softest among them, then hyper g
what you think about solinco revolution ?
Hi TS expert!!

I have changed from Poly to Gama Live wire and NXT great feel but not sure if it’s improving my game or it’s just more comfortable
Thanks again
have you ever tried Wilson Clash with Solinco Tour Bite or Solinco Hyper-G? If yes, please share a bit.
I love the solinco revolution
Great strings
Hyper G is my string of choice
I want to try a full bed of Solinco confidential 16L on Wilson Clash Pro. What tension for cross and mains you will suggest?
The kids need their daily fix of Solinco
lol
A guy I knew said that he recommended solinco tour bite strings and I do really enjoy them
@@kianp4585 at what tension do you get it strung?
Hyper G 40lbs on the mains, Vantage 42lbs on the cross. Works well for my game.
Can you do a review of the Ashaway Monogut ZX Pro?
Love your contents. Please do a review on the Weisson Cannon Ultra Cable. Heard lots of good things about it.
You’d get the most spin out of it. The edges are sharp so it really grabs the ball and it’s a stiffer string than the Solinco line, so they suggest stringing it lower. I normally string my Pure Drive at 50 pounds, but with Weiss Ultra cable I should have went do to 47 pounds tension.
Hyper G makes my 18 year old HEAD I Radical frames Babolat banana beaters. Punch power control spin, Available here in India for $ 7.90 cut from reel. A stringing job here in Delhi costs $ 2.50. Isn't it great ? I am down to a left handed NRTP 4.0 these days.
What about solinco revolution and barb wire?
What about Solinco Revolution ? it seems to rate really high for spin ...
What about Solinco Blue heaven revolution poly strings? I find them soft like Volkyl Cyclone poly? Any comments?
What Gauge and tension do you recommend for each string? Thank you
Your assistant is so cute, :)
HyperG 17 all day. Tried Confidential but just too dead/muted for me and when they lost tension, about ten hours in, they fell off big time where Hyper G is still really spinny/springy near the end.
In theory confidential should be the one that holds the tension better. At least that's how they market it.
Amen!
6:20 haha love you guys!
lol
I love the soft hyper g
4G is Luxilon’s firmest string by a long way
Tried the whole line. Hyper G in 18g is the shizzle! 17g too thick. 19g starts to get too thin and 20g literally lasts an hour or two. This string is soft, but not too soft. Very arm friendly. Used to play Volkl Cyclone Tour 18. Hyper G is weird by comparison. I have lower spin rate as it bites less than the Cyclone Tour. It also has a lower launch angle. But the creamy filling is how I can let the racket fly and the ball drops in every time, even with the lower spin and lower launch angle. Very buttery. You can literally feel the residence time of the ball on your string bed. Now I understand the term ball pocketing, because I had never previously felt that with any poly string. Love Hyper G 18! I string my own rackets and after testing the whole Solinco line, I made the switch last month from Cyclone Tour 18 to Hyper G 18 and bought a reel. Giddy up!
love the review man.. but please can you iron that t shirt it was making my OCD go crazy !!
Reminds me of the advert where the guy shows up for a date with his t-shirt all wrinkled and stretched. Lol
Interesting fact - Solinco did the same multi-year testing with Hyper-G and called it Confidential also.
Great video.
Long time Solinco string user. Tour Bite Soft for a long time, then like you got involved w Confidential as a tester, providing feedback for 2 years. The pocketing is incredible; get 16+ hrs at 5.0 hitting.
Surprised you say Hyper-G is soft - I find it hard like RPM Blast - but def tons of power.
I just strung my clash 100 @ 48 lbs with hyper g. Before that I was using the tourbite soft awesome string but wanted to try hyper g before buying a reel of the tourbite soft
And how does it feel?
Alexey Dushkin it feels awesome!! Not as lively as the tourbite soft. But lots of spin
Which one feel softer ? And what would you choose between these two ?
Mitchell HSU the tourbite soft was softer but it was way to powerful. I don’t know if it helped but once I added a dampener it might have increased the tension and helped with control a lot. I could play with it for around 2 weeks. Right now I play 4-5 days a week. After that I would notice that the shot that would be on the line or deep land just long.
With that being said if my arm can handle the hyper g. I will buy a reel of hyper g 16
I like Tourbite soft in the clash. Yes maybe more powerful but it enables you to stay smooth. the launch angle is also high with spin, it
You forgot to get solinco revolution I use it and it’s really nice and holds its tension
I can’t find it in Belgium
Where is your store located , I live in naples, I will like to buy a racket from you...
we have gages from 15L to 20 gage in tourbite and hyper g..
Hyper G in my new Radical Pro 360 feels harsh!
Yonex strike, solinco Tour bite feel better and hold tension better
Yeah, I tried hyper Gs in my radical MP (360) and it felt horrible, just didn’t go well with the frame at all. Strung it up with tour bite soft and it feels like it’s capable of doing anything. But as of this reply they just released a hyper G soft so I wonder if that would make it feel better
The wife is what makes this channel work
Do reviews of Tier One Strings. Those are the real deal. I almost dont want them to become popular to protect their strings for myself
I've gone to FireWire Boost for quite awhile now. Sticking with it for the foreseeable future.
I’m one of those players who love Hyper G. Been playing with 17g but want to try 18g with next stringing.
I was surprised how good 18g was at 55 lbs
I've tried every gauge of hyper G, including the 20 gauge (definitely don't recommend this lol). I felt the 16 and 17g were the best overall, the 18 and 19 felt too thin. If the string didn't break, it would lose tension much faster than the thicker strings, so it wasn't worth it to me.
Hyper g 18 is just right in 18x20s
Hello Tennis spin, thanks a lot of great videos. I play with Babolat pure drive 2021 with Hyper G 17 @52 and I am a baseline 3.5 player. Every time I play I have some discomfort in the arm with this set up. Would you recommend trying out Hyper G Soft, and if so, at what tension? Or would you recommend trying Hyper G + synthetic gut hybrid? Or any other string recommendations for arm comfort?
It's Babolat Pure Drive. If you have arm issue, you shouldn't go for babolat, adding poly string doesn't help either. Try other racket with RA of 64 and lower, of course you won't have the power but at least you can still play and learn proper technique.
I had elbow pain for 8 months until I changed rackets and strings. I now use Babolat Pure Drive 2021 with RPM Blast strings tension 55-58 (experimenting).
I am also 52 and spend the majority of my time on the baseline. 1 year has passed with zero arm pain and I hit every forehand like a rocket.
Love your passionate reviews by the way.
For me: volkl cyclone > hyperG
Hi Tennis Spin, love your reviews. I have been having wrist and elbow pain after using my Blade 98s with a fuel bed of Dunlop’s Black Widow. Could you guide me in terms of:
1) if the Black Widow is by any means considered a soft poly?
2) is the Black Widow softer then the Hyper G or Confidential ?
3) what would be a good soft poly that will give a good blend of power, spin and comfort?
Many thanks.
Full bed hyper g or hybrid
jordan chong full bed
ah man! No Barb Wire review. Good job on the rest.
I've had that before. The only string that can get more spin than Tour Bite IMO
Would Tourna Big Hitter Silver 7 compete with TourBite?
I tried hyper g and confidential....confidential is so much better, it feels softer than hyper g on the arm...more power, more spin....hyper g feels like plastic, deader....tried them both at 48lb....its good for hyper g, but I will go now with confidential with 2 more lb, at 50 to try it....but hyper g is not softer than confidential....it feels like plastic....confidential is more confortable, softer, definately better
Are thicker strings more powerful?
Can you tell me guys which of these similar to Luxilon 4G? I used 4g / 24,5kg it was perfect to me. My friends advised me to try rpm blast but it is to powerful and no control. I’m looking for control and feel like 4g. Which one of the solinco is similar feel?
do you think these strings will be good in a hybrid combination with a multi like x one biphase/nrg2 or natty gut? worried the shape would tear up the multi too fast
It's true. Try Gamma TNT or Head Velocity instead. Thanks for watching.
Legit professional review wow
Great video. I'd like to know the difference between HyperG, Confidential and Head Lynx Tour, and what factors should I consider to pick them?
The best thing to do is try each one, so you can get a good feel for them. They are all good. Thanks for watching.
Hyper G is stiff but internally dampened, so it doesn't feel that stiff. It is not really soft as people say, just not so stiff feeling. Low power, a bit deadish. For me personally it is a bit too low powered. Total control string, more suited to players that like to keep the ball in play.
Confidential is like a better, newer Tour Bite, low to medium power, keeps tension surprisingly well. It is not too stiff, but if you don't have full fast powerful swings it can be a bit brassy, but just a bit. Very nicely balanced string, well suited to attackers. Both are very grippy which annoys me, square shaped, but many will like it. They last as typical poly strings, 2-3 hours for me, and play well till they break.
Head Lynx Tour is hexagonal, but with only barely noticeable profile, I like that. 1.25 is approx. 1.27 really, so slightly thicker. Lynx Tour has absolutely nothing in common with Lynx, they just gave it that name to confuse everyone it seems. It is also a control string, just like two Solinco strings, medium to lower powered with a nice pocketing feel. It is also a normally stiff poly but doesn't feel like it at all, it feels softer. Excellent playability till they break, they last a bit more than Solincos in 1.25, probably because they are slightly thicker. Excellent tension maintenance, ball is controlled always. I think that Lynx Tour enables me to play slower shots well, while at the same time enticing me to crush the ball with every shot, they have a huge span there, which is rare. Most top polys kind of require that you hit with full superfast swing non stop. Natural gut/poly hybrid would give you such a span, but at a crazy high price. For me Lynx Tour is one of the best strings all together, although both Hyper G and Confidential are among the best strings as well.
As The Man said, I would also recommend trying all of them, they are really top quality. Add Signum Pro X-Perience in the mix as well. I always use 1.25, thinner strings may be different of course, slightly more power, less tension maintenance, more grip, shorter life.
Tour Bite Soft is what I use with gut and started using it cause I got tennis elbow. Do you think Confidential will be ok for my arm?
Hello Tour bite soft is good for your elbow?
Thx for your reviews. You seems so passionated.
Question: I play exclusively on Wilson Clash 100 & 100 Tour with Lux 4G or Alu Rough at 21/22 kilo. Do you recommend a try with these strings on these rackets? What about Lux element or Smart on the Clash? Thx
@Julien M I use the Clash Tour with Confidential 16L at 48lbs.
Do Babolat strings review please
Hey you seem to have a cool store. Where you be at?
Hes in California
What about the revolution?
Hyper g is the only poly I have ever used. Any recommendations?
Yonex Poly tour pro 1.25
Hi guys, a beginner here. I have a question regarding poly strings. I’ve been reading that poly strings have a bad impact on our arms in a long run (especialy if we dont have a proper technique). My question is, what tension should I use if I want to try using poly strings? I’ve never tried poly strings and to be honest, arm safety is my number one priority. I’ve no intention to become a pro whatsoever. I just want to be able to play at the fullest for fun,recreational level.
Any other string type recommendations are welcome!
Do you recommend Solinco confidential on the main and on the cross gamma tnt2 or this solinco hyper g? I’m playing blade 18x20 v7 and I’m intermediate/advanced, 18 years old player. Great video!
Try confidential 16L on the main and TNT 16 on the cross @ 52. Thanks for watching.
Why does no one ever mention Solinco barb wire when talking about lots of spin?
What about solinco revolution
Hyper-G is my string of choice, 125 at 50/48 lbs in Pure Aero Tour. But it doesn't feel soft at all, actually a bit harsh on the arm. I just bought a 115 gauge, I will see how that feels. And I will definitely try the Confidential, advice for gauge and tension?
The racquet is the problem, not the string.
He’s very smart but his comment on Hyper being soft is just wrong. It’s hard - that’s why it’s powerful.
You should always start at the same tension (and gauge) when switching polys - if you change too many variables then you can’t be sure what caused any change in performance. I start my 17G Confidential at 52 and it plays nicely as the tension slowly drops - 16 hrs of 5.0 hitting before it breaks or I cut it out. Good luck.
Mark S good advice. That’s my philosophy as well.
How did 1.20 end up
What about Revolution? Outlast? Barb Wire? Etc
Those are not really worth talking about... Thanks for watching.
could you please compare volkl cyclone and hyper g?
Hyper G is softer than cyclone. Thanks for watching.
@@TennisSpin Thank you! Love the videos.
what about Weiss Cannon ultra cable?
Dies too fast
