Thanks Jonas. Playing again at age 45 after a 25 year break of hard circumstances. My love for the game shines through. I have learned a lot from you. Gone for the hybrid - Mains Grapplesnake M8 @56 lb Cross Technifibre X-One Biphase @ 54lb. UK
First hybrid string setup for me and just picked my racquet up from the shop. I went for Grapplesnake M8 Mains 56lb, and Technifiber X-One Biphase Synthetic 54lb Cross. I think I may have erred as the poly mains are not snapping back into place. Is this because the poly is octagonal and digging into the synthetic multifillament or the poly is too tight? Perhaps I should have gone for Solenco Confidential which is round poly? Any advice appreciated. 😢
Hey all. Just tried the setup and fears were put to rest. The mains are not moving and the string bed is holding its shape. Getting rediculous topspin as my shots are hitting the fence with ease. That never happend with Solenco Confidential 1.3mm alone. The Grapplesnake M8 is great👌 The only tweak next time will be 54/ 52 instead of 56/ 54.
Nice video, currently ona string journey for my Ezone 98 2021, did Head Velocity MLT at 53 lbs on mains and Lux Element at 48 lbs on crosses for a soft setup to help recover from an arm injury was really good a few hours in and for about 10 games but once tension dropped too much it was too hard to keep the ball in so I recently tried poly pro tour tour mains at 48lbs and Bab VS gut on crosses at 52lbs which was great with power, spin and control. I will try next the VS gut on mains at 54 lbs and Lux 4g OG or rough at 48lbs on crosses next, this setup has superior tension maintenance and good control from the 4G plus 4g has a longer life for a string unlike PPT.
Thanks Jonas! Honestly lately I've just been buying whatever is on sale and making a syngut-poly hybrid and its been totally fine haha maybe I'm just not sensitive to these things.
Yeah, learned the hard way, I tried to save a few dollars by not restringing my rackets when they went dead, and got bad tennis elbow. But, I also got tennis elbow after experimenting with different strings to so, quite the double edge sword here!
The study from the 1998 US Open showed that Sampras average forehand was 1,842 rpms. The highest spin recorded in that sequence on his forehand was 3,409rpms. Sampras used premium gut strings with very high tension. An intersting study from that time period of the top players in 1998.
I personally prefer syn gut over multis. Please try syn gut in the mains and a low-friction round poly in the crosses. The playability and comfort will surprise you.
I actually got my favourite string, the Ytex Quadro Twist (black, the white one is stiffer). With my Blade 18 20 it was the perfect string, but became unplayable after 15 to 20 hours (felt like a dead piece of plastic when the elasticity faded), but tension maintanance is top. I changed to a more lively racquet, now it has too much power (can't swing fully anymore), but it stays playable until it snaps. Testing strings is awful imo, too many options, much worse than testing racquets. The Quadro Twist doesn't suit me that well anymore, I have to repeat my search.
Curiosity, what strings do you recommend with the 2023 vcore 95,98, and 100? I currently play with a pro staff hybriding x one biphase with hawk touch or polytour strike. Mostly a baseline player but like coming up to the net when given the chance. I would prefer going to a full poly or multi set up but would be ok with hybriding.
Female 4.0 NTRP here. I honestly can't get any depth with poly. I've tried so much and I just hate when the ball lands inside the service line and the contact feel is just so dead. Even with softer polys it feels dead. I think it's an elasticity issue not a stiffness issue. Do I just need more racquet head speed to make good use of poly? I tend to hit flat but when I do wanna add lots of topspin to get a really low ball up over the net, it's doable but not as easy as I'd want. Any recs?
Why do you use poly? do you break strings of other type of material? I didn't like Polys because I felt them dead too, didn't transmit what I wanted, definitely harder on those low balls... until I found the best one possible. If I didn't break Multis so fast I would have stayed with them.
@@elchanclascocina i don’t use poly. I use a hard syn gut at 60lbs to get as much control as I can and then an extremely soft multi in the crosses at 58lbs
Why would you uae poly if youre hitting short balls??? Theres no advantage to polys unless you have the type of swing for it. The purpose of polys is to lower the power and increase spin so advanced college level players and above can smash balls that would normally be hitting the back fence end up apinning inside baseline. It allows players who usually cant be hitting the ball full power to rip on the ball and not hit homeruns.
@@trex1448Yeah sometimes when I'm spraying balls on my poly/gut I'll switch to my poly/poly and it makes me get my racket head speed up. Then I'll switch back to poly/gut and hit fine.
Nearly every racquet tester accepts co-poly's as the main string and evaluates the racquets with those strings. Even when they are testing multifilaments, they always use sentences like "Not as spin friendly as your favorite co-poly". Meanwhile co-poly's are compared to other co-poly's, not multis, natural guts, etc. Furthermore "If you suffer from tennis elbow" can be translated as "Yes, you're invalid so you are allowed to use multi. Otherwise any serious player shouldn't think less than a hybrid setup" Even the sentence in the video comes with the comment "There is nothing wrong about a pro using multi". It reminded me Seinfeld's episodes with "Not that anything is wrong with that..."
@@philanthropenos1074 really, he is merely stating facts based on how the strings perform to say he is biased is fairly unnecessarily strong and unfounded
I play a poly/multi hybrid in yonex vcore pros. 17 ga 50/48 in summer and a few lbs lighter in winter. With tension drop so high in the polys what is the science in determining tension differential? Because after stringing the poly drops at least 40% while the multi drops around 15 lbs.
For a recreational player (say 3.5 - 4.0 level) who doesn't care about high amounts of topspin and likes to hit relatively more flat, would you say there's any point to polyester strings? I've been using polyester so far, but thinking of trying multifilament at slightly higher tension in order to keep power similar to my current setup (Yonex Polytour Pro at 54 lbs).
I tried for some months and they are much more powerful than polys, which I believe Jonas says the same. So going to Multis definitely you wouldn't miss power. You'd miss a little bit more s as it does have less control. Much softer which is a big plus. Didn't last me more tha 2 hours at some points so that was a deal breaker for me. Definitely less spin, which if you hit flatter it may work! I say give them a try!
@@elchanclascocina Thanks for the detailed answer, I appreciate it! I'll give them a try in a couple of weeks / months, now that I've stopped trying new racquets :)
An update: I changed to Tecnifibre Triax 1.38, it still has good spin potential and nice tension maintenance. 54 lbs and will try 49 lbs next, no regrets so far.
Jonas you are the man! Quick one for you, I switch to Yonex PTP and love it but it losses tension very fast after only 2 sessions. What would you do improve tension maintenance? Maybe string a little bit higher? Hybrid it with a stiffer/shaped poly? thank you in advance ! :)
I’m a pretty big hitter and was thinking of switching to a multifilament from poly. I had Solico Confidental on my Wilson 100 v8 at 25kg and I felt like I had to swing too hard with my one handed backhand. Would Wilson sensation at 24kg do the job or should I just stick with a poly and drop the tension to 21-22kg?
I found Velocity MLT an excellent string to use as a hybrid in the crosses. It has good durability and the price point is very low compared to similiar multis on the market... u can get a reel around 70-80 EUR, that's a steal. Also It makes sense not to use the the most expensive strings in your crosses, it's not the main flavour and anyone paying the price for Gut or more expensive multis to use as cross is kinda wasting their money... ;)
Got that string for my son. At 9 years, he generates tons of spin, so I fell for the promise of that TPU coating acting like a poly, but as a multi inside (don't want to break his arm). String locked up after 20 minutes like an ordinary Syn Gut, lucky me I only ordered this one set.
@@sebastiandomagala9233 It can move a bit in a very open pattern. Are you using it full bed or hybrid? It works prob. better for flatter hitters who drive through the ball. Your son may enjoy softer co-polys then.. ;)
@@hybrid11theory75 I am a friend of ful bed. I used a hybrid once, didn't use the racquet for a while and it bent due to different tension maintainance. Also, I would not consider any poly being suited for a 9 year old kid. As soon as he starts to break strings I will move on to the next type. But not in a 26" racquet, which he still uses. It is a Head Extreme though, one of the most spinny sticks on the market. But when I try to move the mains, they resist and make that typcal cracking noise. So the string is no better than a Syn Gut, total letdown.
@@sebastiandomagala9233 Full bed, open string pattern and vertical swing will tear through any multi, no matter the coating. U could try something like Triax, it's a crossbreed between poly and multi. Hasn't got the tension maintenance but sure more snapback and doesn't fray... ;) I use Velocity in a hybrid as cross string and it works great when paired with a stiffer control string, even better in a dense pattern. I can get easily 8-10 hours out of it.
I’m a 4.5 level player who hits very heavy topspin. I use the Wilson pro staff 95s with Volkl cyclone 15L gauge strings at 54 lbs. The main reason I chose them is I was told they’d last longer than most strings on the market. But I tend to break them every 3 weeks if I’m playing 2-3 times a week with 2 sessions of singles and one doubles. Is there a better topspin friendly longer lasting string or set up I should be using? It was suggested I try a different string (can’t remember the name of it) but I’m not a fan as the string is too slick and moves a lot and I feel it doesn’t grip the ball very well.
Are there "pro stock" versions of strings? I bought some head lynx tour sets and they came in clear packaging with "for pro player use" on the sticker. Is this different to the retail lynx tour? I bought them from a challenger level player
I use a pure aero team and I find that having the 285g weight, finding a string is horrid, I use a hybrid, Lux element soft mains and a multi for the crosses both at 50lbs.. serves and ground strokes feel great but touch shots feel terrible and jerk the racket like crazy.. I’m open to ideas if your happy to suggest any?
@Jonas - do you know if certain strings could help with the naturally low launch angle, of, for example, Head Gravity Pro. Do some strings produce a higher launch angle than the others?
I need help desperately. I play with the Wilson Prostaff 97 RF v13 with natural gut Babolat touch vs on the mains at 23kg and Toalsen s on the crosses at 22kg. problem is i snap strings every 3 hours of heavy hitting and its getting expensive. can you please reccomend me the softest strings close enough to not cost me an arm and a leg? thank you for your videos and endless efforts
Hi Jonas, love your tennis contents. What's your thoughts on shaped polys on both mains and crosses? That would bite the ball really good, but the string to string friction should quite high, which reduce spin potential and snap back? If looking for spin the best choice is maybe to go with a shaped poly on the mains and a round poly in the crosses? Also, have you tried the Tourna strings, like Tourna Big Hitter Silver 7 Tour for example? I heard good things about that string, and it's cheep as well, like hundra kronor för ett set. 😎
Since I'm a somewhat older player and play almost 40 years now I allways used gut or multi's. Last few years I play with Technifibre TGV and I like it a lot, its kind off expensive but it is a very soft and powerfull. Come's the closest to gut imho opinion. I recently switched to hybrid setup with Luxilon alu power in the crosses and TGV in the mains. Reason is that I wanted more snap with the ALU power but still have the power and comfort from the TGV. At the moment I brake the TGV in like 3 to 4 hours of play and I'm looking for an alternative for this setup. Any suggestions? Playing style is heavy spin with enough power, started playing at 5 so I can say I'm a bit above club average. Racket: Head Graphene 360 Radical MP

@@SoWillYuyes it' very noticeable with the japanese strings... Don't like the yellow...
Makes a difference for sure
