I could not agree with you more about this..I run a mobile stringing service in London and sometimes the talking about strings choice takes longer then actual stringing process but I'm very happy as I can meet my clients and give them advice in base of the racket, strings and level of playing also weather can play a very important role especially if you're a big RF fan...😅
Lolz. I am a RF fan and I only play with the RF. But I'm also a string popper. I've been looking for a new setup for my racquet that'll give me spin, power, and control 😭.
@@emodude6951He was more referring to the string set up Roger Federer uses as opposed to the RF racket, natural gut strings do not do well in high humidity or f they get wet.
Excellent subject Jonas. Would you say, generally speaking, that most major racket company's rackets match up well with their own strings--for example Yonex rackets combined with Yonex strings, Head with Head, etc?
I’m curious too
I don't about the 12 people who showed their interest with "like", but I'm going to assume the answer is "yes"...
I think if i'm making a racket, i wouldn't go buy competitor's strings and make adjustment for my racket based on that string. Especially, if other string manufacturers decide to change the formula or drop the product line. That's being said, personal preferences are different for each person so there is no wrong answer here but rather a trial and true process. If you want to get the starting point of a racket, use the same manufacturer strings and of course middle string tension.
Excellent video with highly enlightening content Jonas! I've seen it mentioned in forums that it is 70% strings, 30% racquet that governs.
I don´t agree. For example: put the best string on a wooden racket, you won´t ever get your best tennis. Rackets are very important, and strings too. And don´t forget the string job. In reality it´s a triad: racket/string/string job.
Well said! I couldn’t recommend more buying a tennis stringing machine just to try so many strings and tensions.
I have a Wilson Blade 98S 2013. Which string and what tension should I go for? I want control!
Keep up the good work!
Thinking of experimenting with my new generation speed MP. I'm using Lynx tour at 48 rn but thinking of trying lynx tour mains with hawk touch or hawk rough crosses. Thoughts??
Extreme tour user, ytex square x mains/gamma ocho tnt2 shaped syn gut crosses. Strung Sergetti method, really can’t fault it, most importantly for me is it is easy on the arm and still provides good spin & control on full swings. I string myself so would second that recommendation to enable experimentation (I have tried a lot of set ups to find one I’m happy with)
Hi Jonas, I have been watching your videos for a while now and I usually watch your reviews before buying something new. Recently I bought a NOS Dunlop max 400i and strung it with prince synthetic gut duraflex 16 with a tension of 48lb. I tried hitting it in a session once and it felt really good, but later I did not realize that the stringer strung it as 14x18 instead of 16x18. Will it pose a problem for my old racket? Thanks in advance!
Best string for the red '19 prestige pro? is it string sensitive? using lynx 17g in mains with multi cross and seems to work. recommendation for blade pro?
Do you think the 360+ Extreme Pro is string sensitive. And what string would be your recommendation. I‘m switching from the Gravity MP with YPTP Yellow 1.20 24/23 to the Extreme Pro. But i didn’t like the YPTP that much in the Extreme. I have a mix of flat and spin oriented strokes and strung the Pro with Hyper G @ 24kg to test it tomorrow.
I liked Hyper G Soft 1.25 and its ball pocketing but i strung it a bit low at 21kg.
I would like a recommendation for a string for the new pure drive 2021, something soft cause the racquet is quite stiff itself. Now using black widow 55 tension. Thanks
can you cover string suggestions/expected performance by racquet type, eg...is a thin shaped poly better than a thick smooth poly for a control frame, how does it differ 16x19 vs 18x20, etc etc
This is so true and so frustrating. I’m shopping for a new racquet now. I have demoed the Speed and Radical twice. The first time they both had multi strings and I loved the Radical and I liked the Speed but wasn’t blown away by it. The second time the Radical had multi and the only Speed I could get had a Prince Poly in it. The Radical was strung so tight I couldn’t even move the strings, it felt like a board. The Speed was amazing with the poly setup. Two demos and two completely different outcomes because of how they were strung
Will you recommend string for blade 98 v7 16x19? I’m looking for more control. Thanks.
I tried a full bed ofnatural gut just to see how it felt and i snapped it in 4 hours of practice. Was super interesting in feel though and was super satisfying on every shot
What strings do you recommend for the head 360+ speed pro ?
Classic music got me feeling some kind of way Jonas 🙋🏼♂️👀🌶
What is the purpose of shaped polys? I don't think is the bite on the ball but more likely the interaction with the other string. Maybe the fact that the string is thinner compared to the gauge it's marketed for? That is a topic I am interested in being myself an avid intermediate club player and a beginner stringer.
Too true. I know a lot of people are using lynx tour main with hawk touch crosses.
Tried this the other week and the feel felt amazing in my phantom 100 but playability was poor with almost no bite on the ball. I cut it out after one session. There’s a reason the pros stick with the same racket and strung once they find the right combo.
Love this intro
Jonas, Would it be possible for you to consider producing a string comparison between Solinco Hyper G Soft and Babolat RPM Soft? I too am playing with the Prestige MPs and need comfort because of arm issues...
Natural gut - also because it’s arm friendly. Lasts longer with string savers
what string would you recommend for a pure strike 2nd gen 16x19, I have used rpm blast for a long time but now want to switch, have tried alu power (doesn't last long), poly tour pro (had weird feeling ) and now confidential
Try hyper G
I was playing with the wrong string, as soon as I swapped from nylon to steel my racquet sounded way better, totally recommend steel guitar strings in a racquet.
Thanks again Jonas, loving the return to the Tennisnerd accompanying soundtrack!🙂 Agree with importance of string selection, the equal of ensuring footwork is where it should be. The other thing to be wary of is when you find a string and tension that works for you to resist the temptation to want to keep searching in the hope of finding something that’s supposedly incrementally better.
What's best for a radical mid?
Ah the return of the good music :)
What could be the best string for Yonex Ezone DR 100? 30yo one handed backhand.
What would you recommend for the Gravity 2021 MP for feel and spin/power
After testing different strings and tensions, my standard setup in the 360+ Gravity MP is Yonex Poly Tour Pro Yellow 1.20 with 24kg/23kg.
I think that this combination is perfect for a flat and spin oriented playstyle. Not super heavy Nadal spin but enough for my playstyle.
In previous videos you mentioned you have tennis elbow. Then why you still use poly strings? Or your tennis elbow has healed?
would be great to get a recommendation on a good value stringing machine
Will look into that for an upcoming video!
Love this intro music
Strings for Blade v7 16x19?
What was the best setup you found for the Pro Tour 2.0?
Hi Casey, I use the Pro tour 2.0. Started with rpm blast at 52lbs, was absolutely fine, but I just tried tecnifibre nrg2 at 50lbs tonight and it was fantastic, particularly for feel.
I’m thinking of getting the Babolat Pure Strike 16x19 with Hyper-G at 50lbs. Thoughts?
I’m using the Strike Tour with a bit of extra weight, with Hyper-G at 54lbs and I definitely recommend the combination.
I had pure strike 16x19 & Hyper-G 1.20 @ 24kg. It was magical
what would be a top 3 strings that go well with the YONEX VCORE 95 (2018)?
Hyper G 17g at 52/50 is my go to in my vc 95
Dean I share your setup down to the gauge and tension in my '18 vcore 95.... spooky
Switched to Natural gut in mains, should I play until they break? At over 25 hours but they're still going
Yes! The beauty of nat gut
Can you try and review Sebastian Korda's racquet next?
No.....said everyone
what did seb korda ever do to you?
Is the Wilson blade v8 16x19 string sensitive ?
No, I found that to work similarly with different setups
There is one kind of string what is perfect for all rackets and this Natural Gut from Babolat
Even more, it´s not only the string, it´s also the string job quality. You can have the most expensive string and a bad string job can ruin it (and viceversa).
New year's resolutions #1 - learn how to string a racket, any tips on what machine to start with ?
I need a new machine myself! It all depends on budget. I would go electric if you can. Not so knowledgeable in what brand to go for though.
I have a generic question that troubles me and is about strings. I understand that you can add lead tape in your racquet and depending on the position it will a change the balance. It will definitely increase the swing weight also, no matter where you add the lead tape. My question is the following: when I string with a thicker gauge doesn’t the racquet increase weight, swing weight and becomes more head heavy? Which strings you believe are heavier than the average string?
Yes, if you string with a thicker gauge you increase swing weight. HEAD Lynx Tour are heavy strings
@@TennisnerdThank you very much!
I fell down the rabbit hole a very long time ago.
I'm there now.
have u ever tried signum pro plasma HEXtreme??
I have not, sadly.
Synthetic gut is underrated for the average recreational player.
Wilson Nxt power. Amazing.
Hey Jonas. While I give you credit for continuous improvement like these fancy backgrounds. I like the ones you do sitting at your desk and have tennis gadgets around. These backgrounds are distracting.
Multifilament are better in tension mantaince (until they break) than polys? Not talking about the amount of playing that takes to break the string -I'm far from being a "string breaker"
Lisandro, no unfortunately.
Gut>Multi>Poly in terms of tension maintenance.
If you can afford Luxilon BBO...for everything rest Signum Pro Poly Plasma 1.23mm😛
The more I hear about string, the less I comprehend.
I frame every other shot, so I'll ignore this comment section😂
😅
At the recreational level it probably doesn’t matter, but as one gets better it becomes much more important.
Two things: a) even at advanced levels don’t blame your strings for misses/losses. b) try a full bed of natural gut at least once just to feel how incredible it is.
I disagree with a). Ilie Nastase lost a Wimbledon final, because his favorite racket was strung too tight, he didn´t change the racket for another with less tension. (TENNIS MAGAZINE, 1984). I had to buy myself a stringing machine because nobody I met could satisfy me with the string jobs. Now I can´t complain. When other people strung my rackets, I often lost matches because bad string jobs.
Got to agree with you
I feel string choice is important, but too many rec players copy pro set ups of thier favorite players. I also think rec players do not give a string enough time to really dial in on how it plays. Once a rec player finds somthing, the player should consider staying with a familiar set up. Switching all the time does not help to sustain results.
So maybe it’s just me, but I played with a hybrid of VS Gut in the mains and ALU power in the crosses on my gravity pro and absolutely hated it. Very little bite on the ball and low launch angle. Haven’t done full natural gut so maybe I’ll try it some other time, but I didn’t get the hype
@@FutureF123 gut is for power and feel, not spin. If bossing people around with a heavy topspin FH is your style, then not for you. The big negative is breaks fast.
First
Now go out and celebrate!
