I use Hyper G Soft in my Ezone 100 rackets, strung at 44lbs. Good feel and power, last a long time. I play 4-5 times per week, after 6-8 weeks I cut them out. But most likely could continue to play for much longer without them breaking. The strings are easy on my arm, no elbow pain
Recommend this video to tennis lovers searching for the right strings for themselves. I switched racket and thanks to a review of this channel, I could not be happier with the switch to Solinco Hyper G (original) :)
It sounds like you would be a good candidate for a hybrid setup, the way that you describe the string bed and what you want from it. I think either a hybrid poly setup, or a hybrid gut/poly. you should try something like a lynx main/hawk touch cross setup, or a gut/luxilon 4g or gut/hawk touch setup... gives you great bite and solid pocketing feel at the same time. Buuuut, not overpowered and what not. Anyway, your next review should be a hybrid, IMO.
Hey Mark, loved the content and the format as always. Have you thought of doing a Top 10 review of the strings overall every 3-4 months? This would help us to see where your preferences are at the time. If you have, could you consider doing a "Money is no object" and "Best for your money" top 10 charts? Thanks again for another great video. Cheers!
I can definitely see why it took longer to produce this test - a lot of deep thought obviously went into it! Question - the first negative put aside as personal observation, what are your thoughts regarding how the second negative might be negated by bumping up the tension or adjusting the tension of the crosses vs that of the mains?
youre so underated man. I look all over for a review of this string until i remember your channel cuz i saw you on essential tennis. Great vid! and thanks!
holy shit. I have not listened to Senses Fail since high school. Rum is for drinking, not for burning was my jam. Dialing it up right now on Spotify. Lets goooooooo
What you think the Discord moderators do: "Hey you need to fix your attitude or I will ban you. No text or voice chat for 2 days." What Mark's Discord moderators actually do: "Did you just say 'Babolat Overgrip'?" *BANNED*
welpppp I just strung 5 racquets with M: Hyper G soft and X: Duraflex at 57 for the tournament I'm going to next week haha I definitely learned my lesson from the last tournament I went to. You're right, the feeling is totally different once the string bed settles
Vanilla vs Soft, given that you tested them in two different racquets (at the same 55# tension)?? Anything you can attribute to the different racquet designs?
Are you playing radical pro or mp? I'm really enjoying confidental 17g. I may do a hybrid with revolution in the mains and hyper g soft in the crosses but in 18g. Head Lynx tour 17g also bites the hell out of the ball. Tour bite felt harsh in 17g
Good review. I have been using Hyper G soft at 50lbs for a few months on my Ezone 100. It's fine. Nothing spectacular, but does everything ok. And no arm pain. But now I want to compare it to Vokyl Cyclone.
So are you still hitting with Confidential 16l? I switched from that to luxilon 4g soft 16l and it feels better touch wise and the launch point feels a tad lower. I am trying one of my racquets with Wilson champions choice as well which is a Natural Gut: 16/1.30mm and Luxilon ALU Power Rough: 16L/1.25mm. We'll see how that goes... expensive experiment.
Have you thought about a label printer (there are some cool small ones) to put in the throat for the string job instead of handwriting (which can smear).
My philisophy is that consumers should not have to adjust their tension to "unlock" the true potential of the strings. Its the job of the string manufacturers to do make a string thats playable within a reasonable range.
No. I play with the same racquet and went through a ton of strings before finding one I really think plays well on the Clash. The Gama Live Wire Professional at 58lb plays fantastic. Good control, good power, and great feel. I felt Polys just didn't play good on the cash. I normally do not play with multi's but the Gama feels perfect. Give it a try.
the hyper G soft was amazing for me, i was always hesitant in trying the original hyper G because of how harsh it was on the arm. when i tried the Hyper G soft 18, i accidentally strung it too low (46 / 47 lbs) because i thought i was never able to generate so much power on my own. i ended up hitting my normal shots longer so i will increase the tension to 50 / 50 next time. the spin is perfect and the feel is exquisite for me, and i like how dialed in i am when i hit the sweet spot on the ball. i strung another racquet with the confidential, and the main difference is that when i shank balls with the confidential they have a higher chance of staying in the court compared to hyper G soft. the confidential definitely feels more comfortable though.
Dood! Absolutely loved the arty close up camera work on the strings, really good to see the shape and profile etc. Awesome editing a massive improvement on your first solinco hyper G review 😉. Now for me, I even find the standard hyper G too soft, I don't think the soft version would be for me. Greet work my man. 👍🏻 OG. ✌🏻
Hey man thank you for the video. I was wondering what do you recommend for spin in a hybrid setup with natural gut I have a history of tennis elbow. I'm doing my exercises and it's gone away and I can tolerate hyper g soft pretty well in a hybrid set up with triax. I'm thinking confidential next time based on ur videos.
hey! You finally got to test the Soft version! As I commented on the Confidential video (I play tested the Soft and the Conf.) I felt that the soft was indeed jumpy (sometimes it flew away from me) at times and I had some troubles serving with spin. Nice too see you have the same thoughts about that (makes me feel less like an idiot XD). I played with the Vanilla Hyper-G and the Head Lynx Tour (1.25mm) last few weeks and I can say I liked them both over the HG-soft. The difference between the HyperG and HLynxT was in my opinion minimal except that I felt that the HLynxT was a little bit more easy to play with perhaps, more accessible. I am now in the process of switching racquets however. Leaving my power orientated Instinct for the new Head 360+ Speed MP. So I might need to play around with strings again ;) Anyway thanks for the reviews! And good luck with your next adventures!
After playing with the original hyper-g i said to give it a shot. Nowhere near in terms of playability and feel. Too soft and muted for my game. In comparison, Tour Bite Soft is probably my favorite string (i have no big experience in strings though, have played with around 10 different strings only). Regular Tour Bite is also good but too stiff on my arm, i can play for half an hour and then shift to something softer, like the HyperG or the Soft version of Tour Bite.
So I have tried this soft in the crosses with Gamma Ocho XP in the mains. Eh, its pretty good for this intermediate boomer. Mark: you gotta check out the original Fleetwood Mac from before I was even a sophomore in HS. th-cam.com/video/T8v_OC3zWCM/w-d-xo.html before you walk on the court next time.

Mark, this is J. Gleason’s other channel. If this review was in Wisconsin. You will need some dirty old Mac Madison Blues . Tell me what compares today? Definitely not vanilla here: th-cam.com/video/_cR8z2fWqfE/w-d-xo.html
That's nice that you prop up your own tennis server, and thank it's mods, but you dont need to do that by also negatively name-dropping another discord . Not a good look.
you must be using regular hyper g. the soft version feel like hitting with a pillow. this coming from someone who used tourbite, or, gutmain+ alu cross lol
I use Hyper G Soft in my Ezone 100 rackets, strung at 44lbs. Good feel and power, last a long time. I play 4-5 times per week, after 6-8 weeks I cut them out. But most likely could continue to play for much longer without them breaking. The strings are easy on my arm, no elbow pain
Is 44 lb hyper g soft good for beginner? My first racket is hyper g soft at 51.25lb, I wonder if I should go much lower like you

Would you pick this over the Confidential? pros and cons. I'm enjoying my Confidential strings.
Love the self review of the blond hair XD. I am so glad you changed it btw

Please review head hawk touch it’s my string of choice and am curious what u think of it
Hi Mark. How would you compared this one to volkl cyclone ? Thx. Cheers from Europe 😊
That first rally you showed was epic
How do you compare it with polytour pro? Which one do you prefer?

Hey Mark, noticed you use a Head Radical, any chance we could see a review on the new Head Radical pro in the future?

Hyper g soft 17 or hyper g 18. What's the better choice Mark? 🤔
Can I love this, if only for the Dallas Cowboys fan disses?
i might want to try this string out maybe
BWEH from the intro was a killer
How does this string compare to the Solinco Tour Bite Soft for comfort? Do you have any recommendations for a softer poly?
Are you playing radical pro or mp? I'm really enjoying confidental 17g. I may do a hybrid with revolution in the mains and hyper g soft in the crosses but in 18g. Head Lynx tour 17g also bites the hell out of the ball. Tour bite felt harsh in 17g
Mark mentions at the end that it's the Pro.

how did it go? give us update
How this compare to the tested Yonex Polytour Spin blue?
Which do you prefer? Solinco hyper G soft or Tecnifibre razor code as your go to strings? Great video by the way.
Y’all just added proof that BWEH is scientifically proven to increase skill.
BWEH BWEJ
Finally some string reviews~
How much was your tension?
Hey Mark, what’s your top 3 strings so far?
Have you thought about a label printer (there are some cool small ones) to put in the throat for the string job instead of handwriting (which can smear).
how is the switch from the yonex ezone 98 to the head radical? Also did you put the leather grips on the radical pro too?
nvrm u play it in stock form
Ever try having different tension on string 52 main, 48 cross. Tennis spin channel.
What happened to your ezone? :o
that last shot in the opening was epic
The day has arrived! All hail the mighty BWEH!
BWEH BWEH!
Have you played with isospeed cream before?
How abt a lower string tension..might up a better spin
My philisophy is that consumers should not have to adjust their tension to "unlock" the true potential of the strings.
Its the job of the string manufacturers to do make a string thats playable within a reasonable range.
@@MarkSansait But your string tension is so dam high
i recently switched from an old ps97 to Clash 100 , i strung the hyper G soft at 52lbs, felt way too soft... is hyper G going to be much better?
No. I play with the same racquet and went through a ton of strings before finding one I really think plays well on the Clash. The Gama Live Wire Professional at 58lb plays fantastic. Good control, good power, and great feel. I felt Polys just didn't play good on the cash. I normally do not play with multi's but the Gama feels perfect. Give it a try.
the hyper G soft was amazing for me, i was always hesitant in trying the original hyper G because of how harsh it was on the arm.
when i tried the Hyper G soft 18, i accidentally strung it too low (46 / 47 lbs) because i thought i was never able to generate so much power on my own. i ended up hitting my normal shots longer so i will increase the tension to 50 / 50 next time.

the confidential definitely feels more comfortable though.
Any recommendations for an arm friendly poly? My current string is just shredding my tendons.
Poly tour pro yonex
Haha really ? Poly tour pro is too stiff
Only had to slow it down by 50%, not too behhd. Vamos Mark
how this compare to tour bite soft?
Which you prefer more yonex polytour fire or hyper-g soft ?
Fire!
@@MarkSansait But Fire is a hard string
Great review, but did I miss the tension you set these to?
55#, which he says at the very end.
@@brandomaxwell oh! Yes! Thank you!
Not gonna lie, was feeling alittle triggered when you kept calling my string of choice, “The vanilla version” 🤣🤣.
I have the MP version of your pro radical. Where did they add the extra weight in the pro version?
No idea on the specifics to be honest.
Dood! Absolutely loved the arty close up camera work on the strings, really good to see the shape and profile etc. Awesome editing a massive improvement on your first solinco hyper G review 😉. Now for me, I even find the standard hyper G too soft, I don't think the soft version would be for me. Greet work my man. 👍🏻 OG. ✌🏻
Lol that one person who disliked the video is a Cowboys Fan😂
I’m gonna try to BWEH my way into a double BWEHgle win tomorrow.
Hey man thank you for the video. I was wondering what do you recommend for spin in a hybrid setup with natural gut I have a history of tennis elbow.
I'm doing my exercises and it's gone away and I can tolerate hyper g soft pretty well in a hybrid set up with triax.
I'm thinking confidential next time based on ur videos.
Where are the BWEH t-shirts?
Is this a 16 17 or 18L?
Any chance you are going to review the Luxilon Smart stings sometime soon? I'm very curious.
hey! You finally got to test the Soft version!
As I commented on the Confidential video (I play tested the Soft and the Conf.) I felt that the soft was indeed jumpy (sometimes it flew away from me) at times and I had some troubles serving with spin. Nice too see you have the same thoughts about that (makes me feel less like an idiot XD).

This video should be 10 minutes shorter. Cut out the fluff.
You should check out the solinco tour bite
My elbow disagrees
If you spend a large amount of time at the net, this string is not for you. Its far too jarring and inconsistent during slightly off center volleys.
So I have tried this soft in the crosses with Gamma Ocho XP in the mains. Eh, its pretty good for this intermediate boomer.
Mark: you gotta check out the original Fleetwood Mac from before I was even a sophomore in HS. th-cam.com/video/T8v_OC3zWCM/w-d-xo.html before you walk on the court next time.

Confidential overpowered? What?
With inflation so high can you review the 89 dollar Microgel Radiical?...I hear it is a very emo racquet.
There are much softer polys on the market for the same price. Hyper g is meh more than bweh
is look like you read all what you say from the monitor XD
I personally use solinco tour bite, Its legitimately the best string ive ever used, you should review it
do you use a full bed? how often do you play and experience any arm pain? I use it and it kinda hurt my elbow after 4 weeks..
Arm killer…
Bro why do you still live in Milwaukee? You ain’t got a choice or nothing?
I recommend chapstick
Should I eat them?
Are their emo tennis players?
The things I learn on TH-cam.
Hate that string. Overpriced too firm.
you must be using regular hyper g. the soft version feel like hitting with a pillow. this coming from someone who used tourbite, or, gutmain+ alu cross lol
All the rant about the music album made me lose interest in the review. Just stick to tennis next time thanks.
Oh yeah I remember giving you so many sponsor moneys for this video
