I really love these videos where you feature your favorites. I just strung up with ALU Power Flouro as I wanted the benefits of a poly but a little more arm friendly. 2 hours on it and love it so far. Cheers to you and your colleagues. Love these videos!!!
Try Quadrotwist by Ytex! Spin monster and super comfortable (I have TE and a slight tear in my labrum) and it’s been a game changer for me. I’m a 4.0 player, that plays a couple times a week with an all court game. I like to hit big off the forehand wing and come to net often. Hope this helps!
What others have you tried? I want to go with a poly or co-poly but scared that it will really hurt my old ( trust me on this one!) body
Hey guys, first I want to say, I love your reviews! They’re thorough, without a lot of fluff! I’ll also say I purchase (almost) all my stringing supplies from TW! I am super surprised that Ytex quadrotwist is not on your list. Of course I do understand that there are thousands of strings and that they all can’t make the list. But that quadrotwist is a spin monster and the comfort is next level compared to other co-poly’s I’ve tested. Cheers and keep up the great work!!!
Indirectly related to this video-I often hear reviewers say that a particular string lasted 3-4 weeks. It doesn’t mean much unless the tester also adds how much they play during such a stretch. Since tennis is their profession, I assume virtually every tester plays much more than I do. Realizing there are other factors to consider, this missing detail is likely one of the biggest. Please consider adding it to future reviews-maybe as “hours of play.” Thanks...
Keep in mind that the main durability factor with polys is time and not frequency. These strings go dead over time, not because of frequency/usage
@@nugget6292 it is a mix of both
Hyper-g all day but it has a sharp drop off in comfort around 10-12 hours full bed so be ready to restring often, don’t try to ride it out too long
100% agree, feels unbelievable on the first day or 2 and then it feels dead as all hell
new solinco confidential 2.0 coming in January will be the best of the them all in spin department. i was able to generate at least 10-15 % more RPM with it during the test phase.
1.20mm black Cyclone at 50 lbs. is awesome. I use 1.25mm Hyper-G in my open-pattern racquet (Wilson Burn 100S) with 4g rough crosses, great control setup. But for feel and spin in a 16x19 100 sq in, the 1.20 cyclone is sweet.
Agree about hyper G, really great, and the good point is that After 5 or 6 hours, this string doesn't lose its qualities
Really?
I’m a Hyper G convert. No other poly I’ve used offers the same blend of feel, comfort, spin and power. The only negative is that it does die a painful death within two weeks. Freshly strung, nothing beats it, though.
E.P totally agree on your Hyper G comment. That's why I go back to Cyclone ,,,it lasts twice as long.
E P yeah man accurately summed up. It's arm friendly and great balance of spin and power. I believe it's a softer poly therefore life is a little less (only slightly) as compared to something like alu power. But it's a brilliant and nothing beats freshly strung HG
I've been using Hyper G for a few years now. I've tried tons of strings and this is by far my favorite.
Kenneth Halsted same
It feels so dead and plastic like though...
Mysteryboy0007 string it in mains with something else like tour bite or alu power in crosses. But you are right, it does feel like dead and plastic like but at proper tension it plays great.
@@Mysteryboy0007 4G Rough in the crosses.
how about volkl cyclone?
i bought rpm rough and broke it in a couple play sessions.
I'm rec level...
HYPER-G looks awesome in my PRINCE TexTreme Tour 100 310! 👌👍
Hyper G and Cyclone are my two favorites as well!
Same here mate, gonna test both out head to head again. Been using cyclone tour lately as well.
Tennis Files if you like Cyclone tour you’ll absolutely love Quadrotwist by Ytex! Spin monster and super comfortable! I’m a 4.0 all courted with TE and it’s been a game changer! I switched from cyclone and Tour bite soft (strung hybrids) to full bed of quadrotwist. 49lbs Prince Textreme tour 100.
@@bradfordstoll5191 Nice man, I still need to get around to trying the Quadrotwist. Still playing with it? I'm going to test out RPM Power tomorrow. It sounded like a broken violin when I strung it in my Aero Pro VS, haha.
I love Black Widow!
When the square flat side sits on the other flat side makes a lot of sense! That’s why gear shape and square is different?! 4 side more slide?
I used cylclone on my Pure Strike 98 16x19 when i first started stringing myself and found it to be very harsh! I dont see how people could like it... I now use a Hybrid set up, & have been tinkering ever since.
I used HG at 46/44 and its great for spin but had real pain... Golfers elbow. Used Cyclone 17g 46/44 much nicer but feel was not good... Tried so many setup but thwle best was VS gut on mains at 53 with Lux Rough on cross at 51. Thats an amazing setup on the Strike. Lots of spin, super comfortable and amazing feel. Use 15g gut....
I have to reccomend Signum Pro Thunderstorm my color Is purple And IT has 10 sides (im from czech but you get IT) spins And flats no problem hittin 112mph - 118mph serves like Its nothing i am using this since i played as older yunior for our club
Nice video, thanks for sharing.Regarding Solinco Hyper G, have you tried the 18 gauge on this one?If yes, how long does it last before it breaks.I'm interested to try on this 18Gauge of solinco hyperG.Thanks a lot
We have tried the 18 gauge, but it was on some 18x20 string patterns with smaller headsizes, such as the Prince Phantom 93P 18x20, and Dunlop CX 200 Tour 18x20. It lasted us a decent amount of time in those racquets, somewhere around 15 hours of play. That said we haven't tried it much on more open patterned racquets, or bigger headsize, which we would likely break it sooner. Durability is hard to estimate sometimes, based on different playing styles, swing speeds, etc. Troy, TW
I play with a lot of spin and i just keep coming back to hyper g
I normally play with my babolat pure strike 98 16x19 3rd gen with rpm blast, but I’m trying to find an alternative string since I can’t afford to keep buying restringing it during the season. The coach has solinco hyper g and your bite reels, which do you think plays closer to the rpm blast?
Hyper-G is a bit more on the control side, and holds tension better than RPM, and all of our testers love it. Troy, TW
Don’t understand your spin rating twu with the BHB7 only 6.3. Any mistake ?
is there any general consensus on what the most low-powered polyester is...….so far I've found it to be head hawk rough but it's only one of about 5 different strings I've ever used....
Maybe not a consensus, but Hawk, and Hawk Rough are definitely up there for low-powered polys. I would also consider Luxilon Big Banger Original, Kirschbaum Super Smash, and Prince Tour XC. Troy, TW
Which string would be better for durability, holding tension, and control. I currently use 4G 16L
I would go with Hyper-G, or Tourna Big Hitter Silver 7 Tour. That said, it is hard to beat 4G when it comes to tension maintenance. Troy, TW
Hi TeeDub, any specific release date for the new Ezone and also the Aero VS (the paintjob’s absolutely 🔥🔥🔥)
@Chuong Do,
You can expect the Ezones in January and the Aero VS is coming a bit later (March!).
Michelle, TW
Tennis Warehouse what’s the difference between the normal Aero and the Aero VS?
@@christianbuechi4555 The VS is based off the pure storm mold and is a 16x20 string pattern. The beam is consequentially thinner than the pure aero as well. The current VS beam is more rectangle shaped than the pure aero if that makes sense, but the new beam shape of the VS coming in March that I saw last month looks more similar to the current pure aero. Cheers.
How does volkl cyclone compare to weisscannon ultra cable? In terms of feel, spin, playability duration and control. Thanks
Ultra Cable is more spin friendly, and feels a bit more control oriented. Cyclone offers a bit more ball pocketing, and feels a bit more power. Playability duration is pretty similar between the two. Troy, TW
Legit video, trustworthy info.
Thanks! Troy, TW
Which offer the most power of them all? Surprised you picked cyclone instead of cyclone tour. Expected to see alu power rough too
Cyclone Tour is a great choice as well. Of these one, RPM Blast Rough plays the most lively. Troy, TW
When are you guys doing a Genesis Trionic or Hexonic strings review?
When by any chance?
What would the best string combination be for the Wilson blade 98s 18x16?
Usually those spin effect string patterns (18x16) go best with a poly. We enjoy using Solinco Hyper-G, Head Lynx Tour, Luxilon ALU Power 16. Tension comes down to personal preference, but we would usually go around 54-55 in that open pattern. Troy, TW
What's the worst string to buy? I'm trying to out the worst string in my 85" pro staff, thanks!
🤣🤣👍🏼
I did an order over the phone with TW and I think Troy is the guy who took my order.
I may have if it were a few years ago, but either way thank you for ordering from us! Troy, TW
What lasts longer cyclone or v square, and what is most preferred.
Cyclone holds its tension better than V-Square. We enjoy both, but prefer the playability, and feel of Cyclone more. Troy, TW
What string is best for pure strike? Alu power or rpm blast?
Both are co-polys so they will maximize control, and spin. That said, ALU Power has a bit more power, and feel, whereas the RPM is a bit more control, and spin potential. Troy, TW
What would be better? The Big Hitter Silver 7 tour or hyperg?
The Silver 7 Tour has a bit stiffer feel, and a bit better tension maintenance. Hyper-G feels a bit softer. Both offer a high level of control, maintain play-ability well over time, for co-polys. Troy, TW
Why are they always smiling when the hit
Great video, which do you say has the most feel / spin. I tried Yonex Pro Poly Tour, and decided it was too dead feeling fyi. Thanks!
This may be a bit partial to our taste, but we'd have to go with Cyclone, or Hyper-G. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse Thanks Troy you are a LEGEND.
@@tenniswarehouse What are the main differences between Cyclone and Hyper G? Thanks!
@@Tennisfiles, Cyclone feels a bit more crisp, and lively or a bit more energy return. Hyper-G feels a bit more control oriented, and slightly more muted, but also hold its tension better over time. We find Cyclone to have a nice feel and pop to it, initially, but performance drops off a bit more significantly, when compared to Hyper-G which is pretty consistent throughout its lifespan. Both are very spin-friendly. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse Thanks for the helpful reply, Troy! Would you be interested in coming onto The Tennis Files Podcast to talk about strings/gear? We’re on the Tennis Channel’s Podcast Network. Thanks! -Mehrban
What would be good with a wilson pro staff countervail for spin and power
@Palash Patel,
Volkl Cyclone is always one of our go-tos for good spin and power!
Michelle, TW
Is the volkl v square a good combo with a yonex 97 vcore?
Yes, it will help to maximize the spin, but we prefer the feel of Cyclone a bit more. Troy, TW
What about head Lynx EDGE?, great string at a great price. An individual review of this string is also missing
That is a good one as well, and has some similarities to Yonex Poly Tour Spin, but maybe a bit softer. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse when can we expect a full review and may be a faceoff with Tourna BHB7 and Revolve spin?
I've strung over 7,000 racquets and wanted to give a quick heads up about shaped string. Make sure the string is not spun at all during the stringing process or it could significantly impact the snapback Troy is talking about at the beginning. That being said, a standard circular string will have the least amount of string on string contact and maximize the snapback. As the strings age and cut into each other, the snapback will decrease. The snapback is THE key to topspin assuming you are hitting with a more modern stroke. That being said, don't be fooled by fancy shapes that "grip" the ball. This added grip will reduce the snapback and result in less spin. Rough strings fall in to this category and are something I would never recommend (use normal RPM Blast). Yes, I know Fed uses it in his mains but that's a hybrid combination with gut so let's leave that out of the equation for right now.
For the typical player, the key is finding a string that doesn't change behavior as time goes on since most people don't string regularly. For the tournament player, the key is finding a string that doesn't kill your arm but doesn't break too quick.
All that being said, i'm very surprised that 4G or Luxilon ALU are not on this list. Wilson products are expensive but worth the extra penny as they provide a comfortable, durable string.
Hey tennis warehouse , Do you guys know any best strings for ezone 98 .
what co-poly or poly string doesn't go dead in two weeks and is relatively arm friendly in a hybrid with either gut or multi on the mains>? thx
As far as tension maintenance, we like Solinco Hyper-G or Confidential. They aren't necessarily soft polys, but could work well in a hybrid. The Signum Pro Poly Plasma is another good one, and also a great value. As far as the time that it will last, that will vary depending on the player. Troy, TW
I play with Solinco Confidential at 50lbs. It is a little too hard for me and has not enough spin. I wish to have more power too. I was thinking maybe I should try Hyper G soft. Please, suggest best fit for me.
I think that trying either Hyper-G or Hyper-G Soft would be a good option. Also, not for sure what gauge you are using with the Confidential, but the thinner you go, you should notice a little more elasticity and bite on the ball. So maybe a 17 or 18 gauge could be worth a try. A couple other strings to mention are Volkl Cyclone or Cyclone Tour, and Head Lynx Tour, which are a couple of our favorites and have a bit more energy return than Confidential. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse Thanks Troy! Will do.
Hyper g all the way
which would be best for spin , power but also durability
We really enjoy using Hyper-G as it performs well over time, better than most polys. If you want a bit more lively or powerful feel, then Volkl Cyclone is a good one, although not quite as good as Hyper-G when it comes to tension maintenance. Troy, TW
On Tennis university - is it possible to test spin potential of hybrid set-ups? I’m not seeing it
@Steven Klurfeld,
I can pass your request onto the Tennis Warehouse Professor! There are so many combinations though, it might get tough. But he might have a chance to do some of the more popular ones.
Michelle, TW
What spin and feel string is best for a Head speed MPA
For spin and feel, a hybrid is a good option. Babolat RPM Blast + Touch VS is a great choice, and for a bit better value, you could look at Volkl V-Fuse, or Wilson Spin Effect Hybrid. Troy, TW
What do you guys think of Diadem solstice power?
We found it to be good for spin, control, and decent comfort for a poly. Check out our full review here: www.tennis-warehouse.com/reviews/DSP16/DSP16review.html. Troy, TW
Hey TW, how does Solinco Tour Bite and Tour Bite Soft fare against these strings? Cheers
Yes, they are both great options. Tour Bite is just as friendly as Hyper-G, just a bit stiffer feel with Tour Bite. Troy, TW
Tennis Warehouse cheers troy
Any GrappleSnake reviews en route?
We may review some of their strings over at Tennis Warehouse Europe, unfortunately we do not carry them here in the US. Troy, TW
What about Yonex poly tour spin?
That's a good one too. Troy, TW
Hyper G or Cyclone for a clash 98? Have found this racket to be very string sensitive.
Go with Cyclone if you want a bit more energy return, and ball pocketing, or go with Hyper-G if you want a bit more control, and tension maintenance. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse thanks a lot Troy
How does the solinco revolution stack up ?
Pretty similar to Volkl Cyclone, but with a bit more powerful feel. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse what is the best string for a Babolat pure aero and for a wilson clash 100 L ? and how long i can keep those 2 strings with good performance. I am intermediate and play 4 times a week. Many thanks .
ULTRA CABLES.
H-G Rules.
Would you go for 16 or 17 gauge on these?
1.25 mm is our favorite gauge, which can be labeled differently for certain brands. Troy, TW
Tennis Warehouse thanks Troy. Really enjoy the content you put out
Tennis Warehouse how is spin potential affected when going to higher gauges (17-19g)? Thinner string seems to open up string patterns and hopefully spin but would the sharpness or size of the edges create less spin for thinner strings?
Are any of these strings arm friendly? I used a poly before and suffered very painful forearm pain
I primarily use synthetic gut due to arm issues. Babolat SpiralTek has good spin properties and is arm-friendly and durable, as well as inexpensive. Give it a try.
RPM Blast Rough plays fairly soft. If you are looking for a softer feeling poly, I would consider ISOSPEED Cream, Volkl V-Star, or Volkl Cyclone Tour. You might also consider a hybrid, like Volkl Psycho. Troy, TW
Suffered a golfers elbow playing with alu power. Moved to a combination of Hyper g + tour bite and also Natural (luxilon or babolat vs team) + hyper g. After trying 10 different strings, nothing beats these 2 combos.
@@AC-iy7tp Which do you put in the mains and crosses? Thanks!
Tennis Files hyper g in mains and tour bite in crosses. You can put natural in mains also but that is expensive. Regards.
ONLY black code 4s is missing on this list
Why is the black code 4s missing from that list TW?
@@recursiveset its top 3 in spin in tw university
Waiting for RPM power
Wilson Revolve loses tension way, way too fast.
Ultra Cable or nothing. Every pure poly player looking for spin switches to it after it goes in their racquet.
Sean Harmon I have a set on the way. How is the tension maintenance?
talon229 It’s really great immediately off the stringer and will last that way for the next couple days. You’ll notice a change in the way it plays after it settles in. Most people really like it after the initial settle in period. It will remain this way for a couple weeks. You’ll start to notice a mushy feeling around the 4-5 week mark. It’s also a very durable string that doesn’t tax your arm. It’s the Holy Grail for spinny poly strings. You won’t be disappointed. The only thing I wasn’t crazy about was in a hybrid setup with gut mains. If you’re experimenting with gut hybrids, stick with Luxilon as the cross string.
I’m in south GA so the humidity eats gut up too quickly. I like Hyper G but it’s dies too quickly. I moved to BH Silver 7 Tour and liked it in my Prince Textreme Tour 95s but I’ve switched to Volkl PB 10 Mids and I’m trying 5-6 strings before I get a reel or two. I hope this is the one because it will look great in the Volkls. lol
talon229 Hyper G is terrible compared to Ultra Cable in my opinion. It gives off a “plastic” feel. Ultra Cable isn’t a touchy feely string, but you’ll get tons of drop on the ball. Don’t be surprised if you dump the first few groundstrokes in the net. Just launch a little higher and watch it dive bomb. Enjoy!
Thanks Sean! I’m looking forward to it!
