    Agree Zero really muted. Surprised it makes number one for this reason. Love Toro Toro though. Hybrid it with Enso Po crosses.

    Wasabi pro hybrid is great. Made the switch from confidential in my pure aero. Not the best feel and that’s its biggest weakness, but it’s very comfortable and much easier on the arm. Tons of spin, though that’s a bit overhyped imo (comparable spin to confidential)

    My favorite all time poly is Alu Power but it goes dead way too fast. Grapplesnake Tour M8 gives me like 90% of its playability but lasts 2-3x longer. You guys should definitely give it a try for your next playtest! Not a huge fan of Zero's muted feel but appreciate its longevity/snapback so I think it's the best cross string for a poly main with better feel. After testing many cross strings for Gut/multi, Ghostwire and Irukandji are probably my favorite. I think you guys would love it too if you gave them a shot!

      Tried irukandji with babolat xalt (multi)..difficult for my stringer..many spots where irukandji didn't "sit" with flat surface against the multi mains...also ,restring zero 1.28 crosses with 1.30 xalt mains and xalt mains already notched during stringing!Hope zero 1.23 cross does better with poly mains

      @@georgioslachanas5379 I'm good friends with my stringer and he told me the same about Irukandji. He had to put some small indents in the string to make it work but the string does play amazing especially in a gut hybrid. I slightly prefer Ghostwire over Irukandji for its softer feel but in terms of durability, Irukandji can make the guts/multis last much longer due to its flat/oval shape.

Not seen much info about the grey but reviewers who tested the black one said it's sadly nowhere near as good as the champagne/orange and didn't even feel like Head Lynx Tour.

  • @gofish721
    @gofish721 11 місяців тому +1

    I've been playing Yonex Poly Tour Pro for years and love the overall performance of power, spin, and comfort... tho tension loss is too quick. But I recently tried another string from Japan in my Yonex Percept 100 that has replaced PTP for me... Gosen G-Tour3, and also the Spin3. They play remarkably like PTP in all aspects but at about half the price. Friends' racquets I put it in have felt the same about it. A real sleeper quality-value string. If someone told me it was made in the same factory to the same specs I wouldn't doubt it. Also played in a demo EZONE 98 with equal satisfaction. btw... I have the Restring Zero in my VCORE PRO 100 and I prefer the current set up better.

    • @w1nd0w3
      @w1nd0w3 11 місяців тому

      How is the ball bite with the Gosen Spin3? I am interested in trying different shaped polys that grab the ball and are crisper than Wasabi. I use Volkl VSquare which for the most part gives me what I want. Also do you do full bed or hybrid?

    • @gofish721
      @gofish721 11 місяців тому

      @w1nd0w3 how much spin one gets is way more relative to technique so it's hard for me to properly relate our spin potentials with any certainty. I put the Spin3 in an EZONE 98 and for me it had plenty of spin and power comparable to Head Lynx Tour for example. As I mentioned, it plays so similar to yonex PTP and that includes the spin version, tho this is not quite a stiff. Also, I used Volkl V-torque for a while and that produced good spin for me as a comparison. If you want a square string that has excellent spin but also great tension maintenance, check out Ytex Quadro!

    @radshet3830 10 місяців тому

    I like your string breakdown. I may give restring zero a trial…. Currently my favorite hybrid is 16g tecnifibre 4S crossed with 18g razer code soft. 4s is a stiff string so I used 4 pounds less tension on both mains and crosses. It holds tension better than lux 4g and has as much spin as wasabi. The feel though is much nicer. If you run out of strings to try give this a go. Used in a speed MP.

    As you mentioned in your review of ZERO, a tension above 26 does probably not make sense... any followup on this one also regarding the durability?

    Wonderful review! 👏🏿 🙌🏿
    Wolfy managed to acquire a reel of Zero 17, and is testing it out against personal favourite, Hexa Infinite 17 from Genesis. Personal weapon is one of the stiffest frames on market, Dunlop’s FX500 (2020), with an RA rating of 71. Used as mains paired with ultra thin poly Hexonic 1.09, and tensioned at 42 lbs(m)/44 lbs (c), the two are comparable in spin and control, but the Hexa Infinite provides a little more power, while the Zero is a bit more durable. After two months and two string jobs with each combination, the Zero is a great string, but the Hexa Infinite is still Wolfy’s favourite. Thinking the some of the bigger hitting high schoolers would love Zero.

    Nice vid. Came back from EURSA and have some feedback from there. 4g and strings like that, not recomended for most players. Manufactureres, all of them there that where present where all very focused on injuries from poly's. Also seems to be a different set of info us stringers get vs marketing for the masses. Clearly you lads can play. But you might want to get some lesser able players in on the reviews. Polys dont suit everyone and you should put that in your vids. Thiery from Luxilon sure made a point of getting this across.

      I actually think it’s more credible that they chose strings that people can easily buy online at discount (versus full price at their store) and that don’t have ATP top pro endorsement. I agree Zero is too muted on certain racquets but the feel is quite good when hitting hard (providing a uniquely satisfying metallic pop) or at low tension. While I’m personally using Toroline strings at the moment, I will definitely reconsider Zero when Restring’s new cross string comes out, especially if it adds some crispness.
