This is what Hyper-G Soft should have been - Ytex Octo Twist String Review

⚠️ Hey folks, for those of you who came here expecting a video detailing the end of my string journey, I apologize, it'll be the next one. The hard drive that contained that talking footage crashed 😢
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My string journey has ended, but I've never thought I'd be tempted so soon to consider something else! Ytex's Octo Twist is that string. I still can't believe how much spin I get with this eight-sided twisted string that basically acts like a round string with respect to its launch angle.
Just like my fav. string, Ytex Pro Tour Blue (PTB), this is a criminally underrated string. I'm actually going to try hybriding it with PTB because I think that setup might be even more up my alley.

Which ball machine are you using in the video? Thanks.

[@11sweetspot11]

Hey, it’s called Slinger Ball Machine.
It’s probably one of the cheapest you can get. It’s not great, but it does the job.
There’s another one that called Titan One which I would choose over the Slinger if I were in the market for a ball machine. But I haven’t used it so take it for what it’s worth 🤷🏽‍♂️
