I appreciate the details regarding the stringing! Racquet and exact tension are always good to know when considering how relevant someone else's playtest experience is for your own personal game
+TheGreatOutdoorsman , I've just got a few perfectly customized Ai 98 that I really like. I will be switching to the DR 98 when I get around to customizing them to the same specs. To me, the racquets feel very similar and I can change between them pretty easily. Andy, TW
+RFan in Shanghai , We do written reviews with every video review, but due to the editing process the video reviews usually post a couple weeks sooner. Stay tuned for our written review for this string...you will be able to access it from the link in the video description above. Andy, TW
+Tennis Warehouse Sorry for that. I'm always eager to read your score reviews because I really trust your opinions. They've been proved to be useful to me many times.
The stringing info at the end of the video is helpful. Question though - do you increase the tension on your tie off strings eg. +10% or do you leave it the same?
Tenniswarehouse, cyclone 17 is my go to string now on my Pb10 mid at 45lbs. How does this string compare to the cyclone? What gauge and tension should I try? Thanks!
+Tom H , It only lasted me around two hours. My second set lasted a lot longer, so I'm chalking it up to some sort of "stringer error" (which was me). Andy, TW
Hello, I have a question. What is the big difference between the babolat vs touch and the babolat vs team and what difference make the grams. Babolat vs team has 17 grams and babolat vs touch has 16 grams. I want in my racket in the mains babolat vs touch or babolat vs team and in the crosses alu power or alu power rough wich should i do Btw i am 14 years old and train 6 days a week Thank you for your help:)
+Tennis Tennis , The "g" stands for gauge, not grams. Gauge is the thickness of the string, and that is the only difference between VS Team and VS Touch. The thinner gauge would provide a softer, livelier feel while the thicker gauge provides more control and durability. Andy, TW
hey tennis warehouse would you consider the snap back properties of speed cream similar to Wilson revolve or head lynx? and in your preference would this be a good string in a 18 by 20 string pattern? thanks alot!!! (great intro)!!!
@Mary Arwood, More similar to the Wilson Revolve in terms of snap-back effect/spin-potential. The Head Lynx is slightly lower in this category. This could be a great option for an 18x20 string pattern. Troy, TW
How does this string compare to babolat origin in terms of comfort? Also what string do you think would go well with cream in a hybrid and at what tensions? Thanks
@ Phillip Chu, Origin will be more comfortable than Cream and would also work great in a hybrid with it. Give it a try and see what you think. Andy, TW
+Victa727 , This does have a similar stiffness/comfort to some of the stiffer multifilament strings, but its playability does feel a little more like a poly then it does a multi. I'd really suggest trying it though and seeing how the difference feels to you in your hybrid setup. Andy, TW
It looks like Isospeed Cream may be similar to my current string of choice, Alu Power Soft and I may have to try this out. Would you have a comparison? Thanks!
Hello TW, can you please compare Cream, Head Hawk Touch and Wilson Revolve in terms of comfort, tension maintenance and spin/control? I use to play fb polys, but I have developed some arm problems recently, so I would like to try softer hybrid. Which one would play the best as hybrid mains with Velocity as a cross in Pure Strike one 7 16x19. Is 25/26 kg (55-57lb) ok string tension for this hybrid?
@Ondra Klimeš, The Isospeed Cream is the softest of the three, followed by Wilson Revolve, and lastly Head Hawk Touch. Isospeed cream holds tension a bit better than the other two as well. Power/control, and spin potential is pretty similar between the three strings. For the the most comfortable response, I would use the Isospeed Cream in the hybrid, and as second choice the Wilson Revolve. I would go with 55 pounds for the tension, as for comfort, the lower tension the better. Troy, TW
They are very similar in terms of stiffness, and overall comfort for co-polys. The tension maintenance seemed to be a bit better with ISOSPEED Cream, and also just bit more lively response or energy return. Troy, TW
@Benjamin Rio, This Isospeed Cream is the softest, followed by Poly Tour Pro 120, and Element. Cream also holds tension a bit better than the other two strings. Spin potential and power level, are pretty similar between the three strings. Troy, TW
This one is the softest of the three, and holds tension similarly to Focus Hex. Sonic Pro Edge is a bit more firm, but doesn't hold tension as well as the other two, and Focus Hex is the most firm. Spin is comparable between the three, but a bit better with Focus Hex. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse Thanks! Cream sounds like almost the ideal string for me. I enjoyed the spin and tension maintenance of Focus Hex but was looking for something softer.
@ Lee Mead-Batten, Both strings will offer good comfort and power for a polyester string. TCS will be slightly more powerful and spin-friendly while Cream will offer more control and tension maintenance. Andy, TW

Love the introduction! :-)
best intro ever for a review...reminded me of a SNL skit!
Loved the humorous intro. Gave a good laugh to my wife and I.
HAHA That intro is too good!!
We needz Andy back!
LOL THAT INTRO
"The cream of the crop, ohhh yeah!"
-Macho Man Randy Savage approved
Andy, have you gone back to the Ai? Or just for this playtest?
+TheGreatOutdoorsman ,
I've just got a few perfectly customized Ai 98 that I really like. I will be switching to the DR 98 when I get around to customizing them to the same specs. To me, the racquets feel very similar and I can change between them pretty easily.
Andy, TW
So, aren't you guys going to score the strings or racquets anymore? Just video reviews later?

We typically leave the tension the same for the tie off strings.

best intro ever
Man, I want those polo shirts so bad!
How does this compare to Andy other favirite soft poly, the babolat origin?
This one offers a comfortable, soft feel for a poly, and a has decent tension maintenance. It is not as comfortable feeling as Origin. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse which one has more control? Soft poly with good control is hard to find
@@mteca5093, Cream offers more control than Origin, however Origin is not a poly, it is a monofilament, but not made from poly. Troy, TW
Tenniswarehouse, cyclone 17 is my go to string now on my Pb10 mid at 45lbs. How does this string compare to the cyclone? What gauge and tension should I try? Thanks!
TW, I don't see this string on your website anymore. Will you have them back soon?
@ Won Hong,
It is currently all sold out and is due back in stock next month.
Andy, TW
Andy, how many hours did the first set last you? Interesting string but i need some durability.
+Tom H ,
It only lasted me around two hours. My second set lasted a lot longer, so I'm chalking it up to some sort of "stringer error" (which was me).

Hi TW, how does isospeed cream compare to head lynx touch?
Hello,
I have a question.
What is the big difference between the babolat vs touch and the babolat vs team and what difference make the grams.
Babolat vs team has 17 grams and babolat vs touch has 16 grams.
I want in my racket in the mains babolat vs touch or babolat vs team and in the crosses alu power or alu power rough wich should i do
Btw i am 14 years old and train 6 days a week

Would this take the place of a multi as a cross string in a hybrid setup?
+Victa727 ,
This does have a similar stiffness/comfort to some of the stiffer multifilament strings, but its playability does feel a little more like a poly then it does a multi. I'd really suggest trying it though and seeing how the difference feels to you in your hybrid setup.
Andy, TW
@TW, what is the exact size of the string in mm? Thanks
@ Dee Yo,
The string is 12 meters long. Andy, TW
It looks like Isospeed Cream may be similar to my current string of choice, Alu Power Soft and I may have to try this out. Would you have a comparison? Thanks!
+Andrew Mauricio ,
Cream is going to be even softer and livelier than ALU Power Soft.
Andy, TW
Does this string notch much? Thinking about using it as mains in a hybrid, or as crosses with natural gut.
+The Cat ,
In our playtest we did not find the string to notch much at all.
Andy, TW
HI TW,
How is this string compared to Wilson revolve?
+Adrian Wan ,
Cream is softer, livelier and more powerful than Revolve, while Revolve will offer better control and spin.
Andy, TW
Thanks Andy!

Thanks a lot for the quick answer, appreciate it!
What's the spin like?
+abhinand1000 ,
Spin is fairly average compared to other round co-polys.
Andy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse is there a shaped poly as soft or near as soft as this with more spin? tnx
Dear TW,
How this string compares to
Dunlop Black Widow?
This one feels softer, but not quite as much bite on the ball. Troy, TW
That intro... It's hilarious!
What about rexxer
Hi team TW. How does this string differ to ytex quadro twist?
They are very similar in terms of stiffness, and overall comfort for co-polys. The tension maintenance seemed to be a bit better with ISOSPEED Cream, and also just bit more lively response or energy return. Troy, TW
How would you compare this string to Volkl v-star?
+Kevin Nitz ,
Cream is softer and livelier compared to V-Star, but it won't offer the same amount of control.
Andy, TW
How would you compare it to luxilon element and yonex poly pro tour 120?
@Benjamin Rio,
This Isospeed Cream is the softest, followed by Poly Tour Pro 120, and Element. Cream also holds tension a bit better than the other two strings. Spin potential and power level, are pretty similar between the three strings.
Troy, TW
I have played with Cream and PTP 120. Cream provides more spin and is much softer on the arm. However durabiliy is not as good as PTP 120.
@@tenniswarehouse Hi is there a big difference in playability between the 1.23 and 1.28 gauge?
Hi TW,
How would you compare this with Head Sonic Pro Edge and MSV Focus Hex?
Thank you!
This one is the softest of the three, and holds tension similarly to Focus Hex. Sonic Pro Edge is a bit more firm, but doesn't hold tension as well as the other two, and Focus Hex is the most firm. Spin is comparable between the three, but a bit better with Focus Hex. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse Thanks! Cream sounds like almost the ideal string for me. I enjoyed the spin and tension maintenance of Focus Hex but was looking for something softer.
Hello there Tennis Warehouse. Could you please me how this string compares to Polyfibre TCS? Many thanks in advance. 😊
@ Lee Mead-Batten,
Both strings will offer good comfort and power for a polyester string. TCS will be slightly more powerful and spin-friendly while Cream will offer more control and tension maintenance.
Andy, TW
Brilliant. Many thanks for your response Andy. Could I also ask which you found most comfortable?
@ Lee Mead-Batten,
We found both of them to be equally comfortable.
Andy, TW
Brill. Many thanks again. :-)
Do raquet reviews again?!!!!!!!!!!!!??!!!!?!
I just ordered some cream and a reel of baseline spin. I'm going to try all white all black and the oreo hybrid.
How was full bed of Isospeed Cream?
@ extremely elbow friendly. It’s live and spins the ball well but it feels great.
Can anyone tell me how this setup would play?
Racket: Head Radical xt s
String: full bed of Isospeed Cream
Tension: 50 pounds
@ Nitish Sreeram,
That should play great! It'll be very soft, comfortable and powerful. Try it and see what you think.
Andy, TW
Thanks, I was actually planning on buying this setup soon. Also how will the setup affect spin?
Nitish Sreeram ,
It should give you pretty good spin. How it "affects" your racquet's performance depends on what you're used to.
Andy, TW
COME BACK ANDY
Ahahahahahahaha loved the intro
The intro was soo bad..... It was good...... Yet still bad. I had to stop watching this a bit and returned after a few minites. XD
Andy 😂
Is this or cyclone tour softer?
They are pretty close when it comes to stiffness, both being pretty comfortable for co-polys. Troy, TW
