I’m a former D1 player - despite the heavy marketing that people poo poo, restring zero is legit the best string I’ve ever tried. It is a uniquely good product.
I understand that Zero is a "stiff/firm" string 😬.. when I tried a full bed of Toroline Snapper, that string had that same "unfortunate" characteristic. Snapper launch angle was so low, that I had to change my stroke technique. Overall, sure the string had snap back, but the string had zero pocketing, ball shape, and was uneventful 🥱
@@rafalstachowiak3361 i've tried full bed of snapper as well and hated it, kept launching balls into the top of the net. Try toro toro, it's really really good
Bull. Stiff and sucks
Has anyone here tried Grapplesnake tour m8 and zero? How does Zero compare to m8?
@@rafalstachowiak3361why the fuck are u talking abt snapper when hes talking abt zero lmao
maybe your best video yet, loved it, thank you!
SUPERB VIDEO! Lots of very useful information here. Seriously. I would almost like to see this video broken down into each category that you covered for a deeper dive separately into each sub category. That said, this is a fantastic overview. More videos like this, please.
So, this is an interesting video topic at the right time,
as I am using "several" different strings and set-ups
(a few mentioned in this video) to hone in on my preferred set-up that compliments my play.
I realize everyone is different, but if anyone cares (Beckett/TennCom included)
I'll give my 2 cents on what I've experienced with some of these strings and what I've liked best...so far.
(Toroline)
As much as I REALLY wanted to love these strings, I just find them too muted with not many positives
besides "durability," which if you're a string breaker and are tension sensitive, it's a 10/10 in those categories.
Spin/Launch angles are maybe slightly above average, but nothing special in my books.
The best set-up I used (imo) was Toro Toro Main, and Wasabi X Cross (17g)
which are both softer amd gave a bit more power and spin compared to the other Toroline hybrids I tried.
The worst set-up I used was Wasabi Main/Wasabi X Cross,
which provided zero launch angle/spin and felt super muted with a dampened feel.
(Restring)
I can't say I'm completely disappointed by this string as I haven't fully experiemnted with enough setups (yet)
but, the other hybrid setup I'm using is Zero Main/Wasabi X Cross and this unfortunately has a result and feel
in-between the Wasabi/Wasabi X, and Toro Toro/Wasabi X combos.
Again durability, tension, and snapback are 10/10, but not enough of a trade-off comprimising power/spin too much.
(My Current Choice)
Tbh...Beckett,
I'm pretty surprised this string wasn't mentioned, (maybe you've never tried it)
but "Gamma Jet" (17g) for Power/Spin is just above and beyond any string I've ever used,
and that's even over yTex Qudro Twist.
(Any forums I've read have GJ as the GOAT for Power/Spin)
The only cons I could say is that it does lose tension,
not nearly as much as Lux strings and not as good as Restring/Toroline,
so I would put it "middle of the pack" which is acceptable to me.
The other con can be if you're a "consistent string breaker"
which I can be from time to time, but once I've dropped my tension to 36lbs, I've had less issues with that.
So...as it stands, my current string setup of choice is Gamma Jet (main) and Wasabi X (cross) 17g at 36lbs
which I use in my Head XT Graphene MP's (Sinner Mold) and also in my Yonex Ezone 6th Gen.
Would love to hear yout thoughts (TennCom, and Subs)
and what strings you use for Spin/Power that's better then my choice!
i get so excited for these uploads
i get so excited for your comments
thanks for sharing your research result! you save so much money for me!!
Great video, keep it up!
Your hypothesis at 11:10 about the tradeoff of feel for snapback, and why it's so, is why I come to this channel. In tennis, everything's a tradeoff. The trick is knowing what for what.
Exact video I was looking! Love the recommendations. Curious to know how different is confidential vs tour m8 in terms of spin, comfort, and control/feel (volleys/approach and baseline linear placement) in smth like a ps v14 97.
Confi has a higher launch angle, less forgiving off centre, notches more easily but grips the ball better and feels more muted. M8 has a lower launch angle but still offers more power and longevity. I love both strings, but M8 is my preferred all day unless you get a good deal on Confi.
Since I've started using rackets with a rounder head and a larger spin window, I have found most polys to be very spin friendly. I find that makes more of an impact than which strings I use.
I’m excited to try your offering! I need spin.
Sick video
Any recommended strings and gauge for Speed Pro 2022? I would like some grip but not too much, good blend of power and control, and relatively soft on the arm. Thanks!
Best pair for speed MP 2024 and the tension too? I like hitting at baseline. Strung with razor soft 52/50. Thank you
I’ve just started using Toro Toro mains with ReString Sync crosses on my Pure Aero 98, 52 x 48lbs…. Had one hit with it and it felt great, crisp, yet lively enough, decent pop but great control, great directional control may I add… And good spin. Initially feels better than Wasabi Pro anyway. Then went and began our leagues and played 2 matches with it and won them both playing great tennis! Also…. For the first time EVER I took my vibration dampener off my strings, I’ve always played with a dampener but one of my mates told me to try without it for better feel, I couldn’t get over the ping noise before but gave it a go again…. And I’m genuinely noticing a feel of difference without it, in a good way…. And I’ve got over the ping noise. Might be an interesting concept for a video for u and maybe for others 😊👍
I’m using the same hybrid setup in my 18x20 blade v9 ! I strung it 54 x 52 at first and the sync hurt my arm immediately so i cut out strings and went 50x47 and it’s godly now - almost feels like a gut hybrid. Best part is the crosses have yet to notch after ~6 hours of heavy use at 5.0 level, i’m hyped
@@salberini glad ur having a good experience too, I read or listened somewhere that sync is best no higher than 48lbs, or recommended no higher than 48 and because I don’t like having more than 4lbs difference between mains and crosses that’s why I went 52 x 48 I would of preferred to go a little higher in the mains, but because the control properties of both strings particularly the sync I went with that. And yeah, I’m not a 5.0 but a strong player and I’m quite happy with what I’ve went for and think I may stick to this set up. If anything I am tempted to try Zero and Sync but I am enjoying Toro Toro 👍
Hello ! I always see your videos from Germany, good Job ! I have a question: I have a Babolat pure strike pro stock 18/20 with 67 stiffness, 324 swing weight, 324 g strung and 6 pts HL balance, strung with Poly tour rev 1.20 mm 17 G 50 Ibs full, I have also Toroline Wasabi, Wasabi Z and Restring zero.
Now I would like change my setup.
What do you recommend?
Wasabi full? Restring Zero full? Wasabi/Wasabi X? Restring Zero/Wasabi X ? poly rev/Wasabi X ? or I stay by Poly rev full? what tension? Do I stay at 50 or go down to 48? A good control is very important to me, decent Power and Spin and crisp feel no muted . Thank you, Marwen
Great vid!I am currently playing with pure aero 98, i would like to enhance the touch and ball pocketing while keeping the spin (using head lynx tour now). What you suggest? Maybe standard lynx? (but loses tension so quick..or lynx touch or something else that suits this frame?) Many thx in adv!
I'd go for Grapplesnake Tour Sniper all day. If you can't find that, try putting a smooth soft poly in the cross, but keep LT in the mains. I'd start with Tru Pro Ghostwire.
Hi ! Looking your videos from France for few months now, this is really cool ty
Just asking but any idea what to string with a Pro Staff X if i want spin? I’m playing with full black code rn
Mercy beaucoup! For more spin that Black Code, you could keep it simple and just try Black Code 4S to see if you like the extra ball bite while retaining mostly the same feel.
Just getting back into Tennis after 10 years. So thanks for helping me catch up with the new tech.
Thanks for watching! All the best with you comeback
Would you do a mix of Zero and Sync?
Very informative video. I’m surprised you haven’t mentioned any Tecnifibre strings - especially Razor Code Soft (Mevedev’s string). It plays like a softer confidential, a fraction less spinny but with more feel. My fave string atm
Yeah I'd love to give the TF poly's a go but I haven't figured out how to reach out to them and the polys dont seem very available in Canada
I got to string and hit Confidential with Grapplesnake Irukandji in my Vcore 95D yesterday. Very happy with this combination, but I need to try some Restring Zero in the cross of Confidential (My normal string of choice) or maybe the Tourna Silver 7 in the mains!
I need to try Iru in the cross stat
Good stuff!! I'm not string breaker, and I'm keen to try the following thin gauge combos
Hyper G Soft 18 mains / Hyper G round 18 cross
Tour Bite Soft 18 mains / Tour Bite (regular) 20 cross
what do you think?
Great content. Subbed! You've helped me realise I need to move on from using RPM blast. I'm about to trial the Restring Zero and Hyper G. Don't suppose you could recommend a racket swap for me too? I'm currently using a Volkl C10 pro (which I really like) but I think I'd like to try something with more spin/power potential, that still has good control. I was watching your Prostaff v14 review, and that looks really promising. I'm still unsure though, and any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I play with heavy topspin, but I do like heavy rackets, and apparently the classic feel of the C10. I'm all over the place. Thanks!
Thanks man! I think you should check out the Prostaff 97, as you said, but also the Radical Pro and VCORE 95.
@@TennCom Will do. Thanks!
Love the shirt! Where can I get one?
Hey Beckett,
I think I remember seeing you play for UVIC while I was competing with SFU Tennis. Just wanted to say great job producing excellent tennis content. Keep up the great work. I just started posting my own content and I’m hoping to be another successful BC born tennis channel. Cheers
Nice work man, we should hit one of these days!
@@TennCom Yeah i’d love to. I’m going to request to follow you on ig
What’s a good alternative to my natural gut touch vs mains, rpm blast crosses? I use a gravity pro and appreciate the extra spin I get from this set up
tough to substitute that, maybe try RPM Rough? Supposed to have a lower string-on-string coefficient of friction (TW database) so you might be more snapback
Great video as always ! I use tour bite soft which is good for my arms. However, tension maintenance isn’t that great. Any alternatives or recommendations pls? Thank you!
Yeah Grapplesnake Tour Sniper plays very similar but with a little bit better control and much improved tension maintenance. Go with that at 2-3lbs lower than TBS and you should have very similar performance with more tension stability.
@@TennCom Thank you sir! 😄
I love snapper. Its not inherently a spin string but I love it. Put it in my head speed mp after having head hawk in it. I don't want to go back
I also really like snapper in my speed mp. Does a great job of taming the open string bed and keeping launch angle predictable. Still plenty of spin but nice feel and comfort. Try to decide what I like more between snapper or tour m8...
I tried it with radical mp and it was just great play and comfort, only issue is the durability. I have to change it after 6 hours of hard hitting. Still playing good but the crosses will move harder, but mains still very good .
Great video 👏. I'm curious to hear your take on someone using Percept 97d strung with restring 0 Caviar mains, as opposed to a full bed M8 or Tour Sniper. 54/52 tension
Caviar/Zero would definitely add a lot more zip to your stringbed, giving you more of a 16x19 feel from the 18x20. I think it would be a very fun experiment, personally, but you are at risk of losing the unique control of the 97D with Grapplesnake. At worst, it would be an interesting experiment. I'd recommend bumping tension up by at least 2lbs compared to your stringjobs with Sniper/M8.
Hi Beckett. Love your videos. Could you help with suggestions for strings that work well with CX200?.
My preferred setup was Tourbite Diamond Rough 16/Sync 18 @ 48lbs (i forget the exact tension, but around there, maybe a bit higher) but I didn't find the racquet to be overly string sensitive. ReString/Solinco/Toroline stuff all played well, I tried a few YTEX strings which stunk in the 200 (and probably everything else).
@@TennCom thanks a million. Currently on HGS 17 @45.
What do you think the best cross string for gut mains? I recently switched to gut/poly hybrid, but am missing the spin production I got with a full bed of poly.
I like Polytour Fire for this
How does Lynx touch compare to other soft polys like polytour pro?
I use full bed of Solinco Confidential and have been enjoying it but have been considering hybriding it with a smooth poly in the cross, have you tried this and do you have a recommendation for a poly cross string?
My fav cross with Confidential is ReString Sync. Preserves all the great feel/control of Confidential, gives it a small spin boost and a bunch of extra durability.
Just curious... Wouldn't it be better to put the shaped poly in the mains and a slick rounded poly in the crosses? Since the racquet is on it's side for forehand and backhands, you'd want the bitey string on the mains, right? Like Zero on the mains and Sync in the crosses? Thoughts? Anyone tried that setup?
that's what most people are doing but I haven't found great durability results with a round cross so im thinking hex cross might last longer
Thank you for the video. I have a Wilson Pro Staff v13 RF 97 340gr. I like to play with lot of spin and power, wich combination of strings do you recomend to me? I don’t want to add more weigh to the racket. Right now I’m using Babolat RPM Blast 17 on mains and Wilson Sensation Control 16 on crosses
I would recommend trying out a softer poly at 3lbs lower than your current setup. Something like Tour Bite Soft, Grapplesnake Alpha or ReString Sync.
@@TennCom thank you for your answer. And the Wilson is ok in the crosses?
@@yassernunezaznaran Oh I was thinking a full bed of poly, just as a trial in case you haven't tried it before, but if you know you prefer hybrid, sticking with the wilson will be great
Any advice on upgrading my string setup. I’m currently using a lynx tour/mlt velocity hybrid. Haven’t experimented much. Control is a priority of mine but looking for something with a little more power without sacrificing too much of the control.
With nylon-hybrids, I personally get better playability with the nylon in the mains. I got more spin, power, control, consistency, basically everything. So you could try Velocity mains/poly crosses to see if that's the same for you, but overall, both Lynx Tour and Velocity are easy recommendations for me when it comes to great strings.
What do you think about restring zero in the mains with wasabi x in the crosses on a pro staff 97 v13? :)
FWIF this was my set up in my blade v8s for league matches last few weeks. Played great. Solid, predictable, consistent and durable. Only cut out after 10+ hours to freshen up. Great spin and control, not too launchy (like FB of Zero - for my flatter style anyway). Only downside might be lack of feel. Not awful by any means, but not confidence inspiring on touch shots.. so the search goes on. Rocking Wasabi / Enso Pro now for a little more pop and softer set up - hoping for more feel.
Do you think Sync in the crosses of a Square-X-Sharp Main would help tame the launch angle?
I do not think it would help. If you like the crazy grip but want more control: Grapplesnake Game Changer green is the way
I'm confused, Ive tried a lot of these strings upon your suggestions, and other youtubers as well, and 95% of the time my experience matched the description... except when it comes to ReString Zero, I just couldn't use it, it wasn't stiff but it felt tight and uncomfortable. Perhaps my Ez98 has too tight string pattern, idk. But for me string movement has become the key, so slick square (Gamechanger or Wasabi pink) plus round slick in the corsses (WasX) is the only recipe that has worked for me. Thanks!
I'm surprised you are getting good results with Wasabi but not Zero. Maybe tension too high? Hard to say, I've tried Zero in a full bed of my 18x20 Whiteout, similar density to the EZONE in the sweetspot, without issues between 48lbs and 52lbs. But some setups just don't work.
Trout Lake, Kaslo... Reppin East Van nicely Beckett
Hey!
Considering that the m8 is somewhat similar to the sync, would it work in a hybrid setup together with the tour sniper?
Yeah I'm sure it would be excellent, but not sure it would provide much more over just a full bed of M8
Hey Tenn, how does restringZero compare to Tour m8? And which one do you like better
They are pretty different tbh. Both have S-tier tension maintenance and durability, but that's the only similarity. Zero has much more spin, more power. M8 feels way more precise and connected. M8 plays a lot closer to ReString Sync. I prefer M8 to Zero by miles for my own game, but I recognize that Zero is a unique product that delivers a lot more spin and snapback than anything else on the market.
salut d un frenchie! Yesterday i was in a tennis shop, and i saw they had tour sniper... I was thinking of beckett so i had to test it, the stringer give me the racket today and i trained with coach...first impression ...amazing ( i m looking for the best string setup for my tour 100p 100inch 18*20)...the feel and the consistency is so so good...to me i would say this string is very Natural, i felt directly at home. Previously i used confidential..to my taste tour sniper is far better, on my other racquer i have technifibre 4s that i like too for the spin , comfort , tension maintenance, power (or lack of power..) but the feel is ok-ish especially when volleying i m not very connected....i only played one hour and it was only training so i need to see if on competitive point this string is good, and if the tension maintenance is a good as 4s or 4g but the question for one million dollar which string has the same feel as tour sniper ,the same tension maintenance as 4g and maybe 5/10 pourcent more spin than sniper with the same launch angle as the the tour sniper? (In the store they also had game changer but they told me that after 4hours the playability is dropping..for pro player is not a problem...for my wallet it is)
hi where do I find that database of strings characteristics shown in this video (listed a sergetti, but I don't see it on their website) THANKS
Click "get your tension sheet" on the home page and skip down to the strings type, then click the manufacturer you want to snoop on, then all the strings show up with the stiffness number beside them
@@TennCom that's amazing thanks. It seems its reverse scored with 1 = most stiff and 5 least stiff (eg nat gut) with almost no strings with rating of 1 ! great list however, with some of the latest strings on there like grapplesnake and restring. thank you!
I play a full bed of Tour M8 now. Do you see any benefit to using sync as a cross with it?
I don't think I would bother personally
Can you extend a bit comparing Confidential and TBDR? Would you recommend TB in a hybrid to give a bit more stiff feel if used with a Multi cross? I play with the strike VS and currently running out of my Confidential reel and want something similar in terms of feel but better if thats possible. Thanks
TBDR has better feel than Confi IMO but the tension loss is quite a bit more noticeable. I think you'll probably get more spin with TBDR in a hybrid because of the grip, maybe more power too, especially after the drop, more ball pocketing too. Another good one to try would be Grapplesnake Tour Sniper. SImilar power/control/spin to Conf but more connected with better ball pocketing.
@@TennComAlways the best! Thanks. In comparison refular TB and DR will be stiffer and spinnier or is similar in terms of boardiness?
@@sebastiancastellanos6165 i think TBDR plays a bit softer and more powerful when fresh but feel stiffer once you notch it
What strings do you think would pair the best with the new pure aero 100? Im looking for something with a medium launch angle and great control and feel
Grapplesnake Tour M8 100%
@@TennCom alr tysm!
i know this isn't exactly related to the video but i was just curious what you're using in the back of your videos lol. and i might give hyperg soft a try since i currently use normal hyperg
using to display your racquets in the back of your videos****
its an Ikea Ivar shelving system with some mods
Hi Becket !
Rn I'm using Hyper G Soft 1.20mm in my Gravity Pro.
Do you have better alternative? I prefer soft poly, good bite, & 1.2gauge to open up the string bed.
Thanks
I personally like the more responsive strings in that racquet, maybe Tour Bite Soft next?
@@TennCom Its on my list, have u try toroline absolute?
@@kusumoanang Yeah, its their softest rated string, and i only tried it in the Strike VS and it was ok, nothing special but not bad really either
I love full-bed Zero. It was definitely something different and lasted so long. But when I tried Hyper-G 17 mains and Zero crosses, I hated it. It felt like Zero was locking up the stringbed. The snapback just wasn’t the same. The feel was very muted too. I’m trying to get a less muted feel with Zero involved and from the video sounds like ST7 or Cavier might be something I should try. I’m more intrigued about Cavier mains since I love a poly that has a great pocketing feel. Would it be ideal to try the 1.24 gauge since Zero is 1.23?
The specific combo I tried was Caviar 1.20/Zero 1.28 because that's what I had on hand. I think the thick crosses really help the mains from locking up. If I had to do it again, I'd do the gauges you suggested.
Best pair for speed MP 2024? I like hitting at baseline. Just strung with razor soft 52/50. Thank you
I really liked Lynx Tour in that racquet at 52lbs, should give a little more spin than you currently get
Weiss cannon ultra cable?
what's the best spin string to accentuate spin as a cross with natural gut in the main?
I have no idea, I haven't done enough testing with gut mains to know if its better for spin to go slick crosses for snap or rough for ball bite
Great video ! I used hyper g 18g on my pure aero team at 52/50 that was nice and i like the spin and ball pocketing but the tension loss was really fast, and then try other things based on my stringer rpm blast 52/50 too harsh on my arm and low powered, and then wasabi 50/48 but i dont see the bite and comfort like in hyper g, i think it was good for control like you've said? The spin not even better than hyper g
Any suggestion for my next experiment
Really like the hyper g 18g at 52/50, but not happy by stringing every 2-3 weeks
Thanks ! 13:00
Yeah not a low of strings will give you the same bite as 18g Hyper-G since its so thin you get a pretty sharp edge on the ball. You might like Grapplesnake Game Changer or Tru Pro Firewire Boost as they both have very sharp edges, but the gauge is thicker which will hold tension better.
At what tension would you recommend me with those strings? Would you recommend me using thicker hyper g? And also wondering if restring zero is a good option? Based on your video it was in the same category (spin & power)
Thanks
At 7:33, you show some data from Sergetti on string stiffness. I can't find that data on Sergetti's website - can you please tell us where it is available? Thanks.
just start filling out an order and then when you get to the string selection, it starts to show all the options... not the most descriptive stats but its something
@@TennCom tks
I know that there is already a comparison between m8 and sync, but could you give me your opinion on those two plus adrenaline? I currently use adrenaline in my blade pro 18x20 but am interested in both and was wondering what you thought the differences were before I go ahead and try some.
I'd only tried Adreneline once for my Rublev setup video in the GPro. I still need to test Sync and M8 back to back and I think M8 probably feels better, more connected and a more obvious ball pocketing. Control also better IMO. Sync can be slightly launchy at lower tensions whereas M8 keeps things controlled.
@@TennCom I see, thanks for the reply. Another question would be how many swing points would differ if you strung with 1.25 vs 1.20?
@@andrewseung2692 it depends on the string but it should only be 1-3pts
Playing with the Pure Aero 98 because claycourt season starts so I need spin potential. Would you recommend Tourbite, Confidential, Head Lynx Tour, RPM or Alu Power? Or is Tour M8 or Restring Zero still the best? 👌
Of the ones you suggested, I still prefer Confidential the most, but I would personally rather use Tour M8 any day. Zero has more spin and power than I feel comfortable with, but it might work for you. I still think its a very unique string that's going to be polarizing, love it or hate it.
@@TennCom I will try M8 1,25mm and 23,5/23 kg! Thanks a lot! I hope it plays awesome 🙏
Thoughts on a sync and zero hybrid?
tbd still
@TennCom out of Grapplesnake Game Changer and YTex Square-X Sharp, which one will have more ball bite/spin?
I think Square-X Sharp has more bite but I get a lot more consistent and reliable playability from Game Changer so I can take big swings and develop more spin through racquet head speed
do you have any recommendation for strings for lite racquets specifically? use a aero pro drive lite 1pt HL. kind of a flat hitter but can hit with spin when necessary with an attacking game
Anything softer, like the comfort strings discussed in the video, and I'd probably try to go thinner gauge too, like 1.20mm or less
@@TennCom do you have a referral code for any string you recommend?
@@TennCom i currently use genesis black magic
@@shejustcant maybe start with Toroline Absolute 1.20. Its black so should play close to Black Magic but will be softer and slicker. toroline.refr.cc/tenncom This should give you 20% or use code TENNCOM at checkout. Thanks for your support!
@@TennCom no thank you!
No mention of any Volkl string feels like it's missing something. V-Square and V-Torque Tour are great for spin. Cyclone at 19g or Cyclone Tour are awesome too.
I agree and V-star which is the softest poly string ever...
Cyclone was my first poly and a go to poly for years. I enjoyed it. The Psycho hybrid is nice too.
I’m curious about what the differences are between shaped strings. For example what are the differences between a square vs hexagonal vs octagonal string? Would more sides make it closer to a round string or does it have more grip than a 4 sided string?
It depends, but the more sides, generally, the closer performance you'll have to round. Most 8 sided strings act essentially like round strings in my experience, whether it me RPM Blast, Tour M8 or Polytour Rev. With 6 sided, sometimes you get hexagon with sharp corners, sometimes rounder, sometimes you'll get a star shape too which gives the most bite but worst snapback. Same with 4 sided, sometimes you get a square, sometimes more of a gear shape.
@@TennComthanks for the reply! I was struggling to find info on this topic specifically
I have Tried many Strings Restring 0 is the Best so far
What pairing would you recommend for the radical which offers good spin and feel
I really liked Grapplensake Alpha in the Radical MP (I made a video specifically about it for the channel) spin isn't top notch, which is why its not on the list, but feel is very nice (soft, connected, plush) and works perfectly with the Radicals
@@TennCom thanks
It's all about a head racket swing speed , ask guys who play with vs gut on mains
Yes. After you reach a specific skill level, I’d agree. But rec level player, without the talent to have fast RHS are gonna get free RPMs on their slower strokes with „Spin strings“ compared to round strings.
Have you tested Volkl 🤔
Power/Comfort: Volkl Cyclone Tour 18/1.20 String Red, $8.99 (my cross string of choice)
Ultimate Spin: Volkl V-Square 16/1.30 String, $10.99
I used to use Cyclone a lot but felt like the tension maintenance wasn't what I expect out of a string in the 2020's.
I normally use Head Velocity MLT. Are Restring Zero or Grapplesnake M8 much stiffer?
yeah they are quite a bit stiffer, if you want to make the transition from multi to poly and you are worried about comfort being an issue, I'd try one of the Toroline strings, Enso Pro grey for control or Toro Toro for spin. You could also string M8 very low (40lbs or less) to get comfort that way, as the string retains much more control that average at low tensions
@@TennCom 👍👍
What about RPM blast ? I use it still and I think it’s a great string, although not very user friendly if you use a full bed.
I've had a lot of people go from RPM Blast to Toroline Wasabi, similar feel but more forgiving and better durability/tension maintenance
@@TennCom I’ll give it a go sometime.
hey becket. what would you recommend for an ezone 100?
For spin in the EZONE 100 I'd probably go for Toroline Toro Toro. I like the softer and more muted feel in the EZONE line as they can be a bit stiff, plus I like the extra lift in that frame from something softer and more forgiving.
@@TennCom thanks!
I don't need spin strings.. I need that shirt though!
What tension do you think is good for zero on the crosses? 🤔
i do same tension as mains or sometimes -2lbs for no reason other than gut feeling... sometimes even -3lbs
Was that a hybrid of ytex square x sharp and resync zero? If so, how did that play?
it was ass lol
@@TennComDarn I was actually going to try that next. I'm really enjoying ytex square sharp in the mains and isospeed baseline control in the crosses.
@@gnaca47 ok you might might it then, the extreme edges just aren't for me
I either tourna big hitter 7 tour or hyper g. Do you think a hybrid would work well or should i combine either of the two with zero? vcore 98 2021
Silver 7 Tour plays really nice with Hyper-G Round in the crosses or Zero in the crosses. I haven't tried HG mains with Zero crosses yet, but I think you would notice a good increase in spin and power, but you'd lose some feel and control
Vcore 98 v7 volkl cyclone tour 1.25 main, luxilon alu power black cross 1.25. Nice.
Tourna is a light string(1.6 gramm/metr), you need to use a heavier string with it.
@user-jy5vo9mi1o Why use a heavier string? The racket is powerful as it is
@@nicholastsinonisyou have sw ~310 with tourna, 320 with solinco revolution.
You understand me?
@@user-jy5vo9mi1o if i need more sw i will add some lead to the racket. it is not logical to choose a string based on its weight.
What do you think would be a good pair for the pure aero Rafa racquet
I'd personally start with Solinco Confidential 1.30 in that frame
Would hyper g soft suit 2024 PureStrike 98 16*19?
For me it would be too powerful and I'd end up stringing it at 55lbs or above, so I think regular Hyper-G would be better as it holds tension better. Solinco is also releasing a Hyper- G hybrid system next month which I think would play great at 50lbs.
I've heard restring is pretty firm. how does it perform with a soft poly on the crosses?
I prefer to use Zero as a cross and use a soft poly main. I think this gives better spin and durability while feeling more like whatever soft poly you like instead of the muted Zero feel.
@@TennCom interesting...that's the opposite of what I thought would be the rec...I like ghostwrite as a cross quite a bit.
@@petershort936 yeah I'd been doing a lot of experimentation with poly hybrids lately and my findings are mostly going against the common knowledge... I think this is because polys have changed a lot in the last few years, way softer and slicker than ever before
I like Vokyl Cyclone and Cyclone Tour
Any experience with Mayami strings? Thanks in advance
Not yet, they are supposed to send me a few to try, though I'm avoiding their heavy spin options as crazy shapes aren't my thing these day.
Check Tennisnerd website. There's an article about Tour Hex full-bed and Machete x Tour Hex Hybrid and Big Spin x Tour Hex hybrid, I have written.
I've also played Hit Pro and Magic Twist, at a lower level of hitting, last year.
I also look forward to Beckett;s take on whatever Mayami string he likes.
It's very hard to do any talking about some strings you don't actually like or don't stand-out.
Miami has a blue string -hex tour i think -that is no1 in stringforumnet.I played with that in a v7 and a prince 95.in v7 that is a soft racket the feel was destroed ! It was like a wire.so i m too suspicius in new strings and new WOW reviews...
If anyone knows, does restring zero have better tension maintenance than solinco confidential?
I'd say its pretty close, but I don't think I'd cross shop the two. Zero gives loads more spin and power (notches less too so more durable) but Confidential feels a lot more connect and gives way way way more control. IMO they are for different players with different needs.
@@TennCom thank you
Missed out on the massive spin potential from Kirschbaum Black Shark
I tried that last week in the new Strike and I can't say I loved it. Nice ball bite for sure, but I wasn't getting much string movement.
Whats a good pairing with head radical?
I really liked Grapplesnake Alpha in that racquet, I preferred more powerful, softer strings in that frame.
@@TennCom how about a multifilament?
You don't mention the weight of the strings. Why?
I strung my vcore 100 zero mains, lynx tour crosses, the worst string set up I had on this racket ever. It's extremely lively but muted at the same time. Totally disconnected from the ball, slices floating 6 meters over the net, and spin is no where near as good as confidential or ytex q twist. I actually forgot how dodgy lynx tour was but zero is also a let down due to sleek coating and super muted feel.
How would you compare RPM Rough to Toro Toro?
Spin close, feel and control to RPM Rough, durability and comfort to Toro Toro. Toro Toro maybe a bit extra power too.
@@TennCom awesome, thank you! I think I'll try the toro toro next time I string.
Great video as always. Completely agree with everything you said but I find restring zero offers more control than wasabi. Wasabi feels livelier for me.
I found the restring more stiff and powerful than wasabi, which felt a bit less powerful and more comfortable.
how about dunlop black widow?
I didn't love the durability of that stuff
Head lynx tour ?
The stiffest strings I have ever tried.
@@JaFz77 any recommendations?
Lol its not even that stiff
@@PaulKirk-wc1vshead lynx (yellow) is one of the best for me. Tourna black zone is great, it has a terrific feel when newly strung, but it loses tension very quickly.
@@TheGreatGuy_it is personal, I but I played with it for half an hour and cut it off. My hand became dumb.

Wilson revolve spin
Not sure how you can do a "spin" video without mentioning Weisscanon Ultra Cable or even Volkl V Square.
Time has passed and I think better options have come out which offer some combination of more spin, durability and general value
@@TennCom I agree Ultra Cable's tension maintenance isn't great, but it's exceptional value.
Even soft hyper g is terrible for the arm. It is not comfortable at all. I dont have as much discomfort with any strings as with solinco strings. Head lynx tour is one of the stiffest strings I have tried. Stay away from it if you have any arm issues. Head lynx is my favorite up to now.
bro if hyperG soft is stiff for you that literally might be a YOU Problem. Its so damn soft for a poly
What tension did you use and in what racket?
@@ultimpower9350maybe, I have a tennis elbow. But with other strings, I dont feel so much discomfort.

I loved it

just happy to be on the podium
@@TennCom for clarification you said alternative to tour sniper is tour bite soft right and not tour bite rough? cause in the vid its showing the tour bite rough
@@mrmvprobas yes correct my bad
Tourna big hitter black 7 , forever🎉🎉🎉
Weed whacker wire for the crosses. No shame
No shame... pride.
@@TennComI did get RPM Blast Orange on a Head Boom 2022 super sale . It is the craziest racket I’ve ever had. Much nicer than anything I’ve had before so it threw me off at first but now I’m am enjoying it so much. Thanks for the great videos 🎾
Moist
Hey, very nice content👍. which string would you recommend for an Iso 305 to optimize spin? At the moment I'm using the white Razor Code 1.25 and I'm happy with it. but there could be a little more spin and the feel a little better. Thanks:)
Thanks! TBH I haven't tried Rzaor Code before, though I've heard its quite excellent. I might try keep RC in the crosses, but using something shaped in the mains. Lynx Tour, Tourna Silver 7 Tour, Tour Bite Soft or Grapplesnake Tour Sniper should all give you a little more ball bite while keeping a very connected hitting feel. The first two are stiffer and the last two are softer.
