i'm sorry to say, if you are 4.0 or below, you should be using a 110in racquet with 250g static weight. don't bother wasting money on strings either. unless you break em within 10min of play like me, you should just grab a ball of synthetic yarn from your nearby dollar store.
frankly i dont even think people should be playing tennis if they are below 4.0
@@TennCom these balls ain't gonna pickle themselves.
😂
@@TennCom way to promote Tennis, they will go and play pickle ball and we lose another tennis court.
Thanks so much. Like NXT but hate the lack of durability.
That shot at my backhand was necessary. Appreciate the shotout!
6 more months and you'll be slapping those backhands like they owe you money
Spot on video. Velocity MLT is my go to as an intermidiate player. I’ve tried a ton of different setups and it really does everything I need and is very easy on the elbow.
Do you think natural vs black makes much difference for the Velocity MLT?
@@jaquevius would also be interested in this one, I use the black one but haven´t tried the natural one yet
I had my radical mp auxetic strung with a full bed of volkl cyclone at 35lbs and it plays really well 😊 (i think intermediate players should consider stringing lower if they still want to use polyester)
i think we should all experiment with ultra low tension poly at least once
@@TennComidk maybe it’s only me, but with low tension below 40, my poly strings just don’t snap back. There’re so loose that there is no force pulling them back in place.
Seriously guys if you have questions, ask in the comments, this guy will answer you!
As a casual player who plays about 10hrs/week and had some elbow issues, I love so much a nice, comfortable, plush feeling strings on a soft racquet. Playing with Head MLT, 46lbs, on a Youtek Radical. Your game will adapt and you will get used to almost any setup, but with no arm fatigue nor pain
I'm the head stringer at a racket sports specialist in the UK and I'll say the best 'intermediate' or 'movers' level string set up for the majority of our customers are HYBRIDS 🙌
Soft poly on mains, multi or syn gut on cross. Some players might use a sided poly on mains
Luxilon Eco power and Eco Rough have been popular as slightly more arm friendly poly-like strings
@@Brown2099 how about the tensions? what would you recommend for a very comfortable hybrid with velocity mlt and luxilon eco?
I like hybrid but it needs restringing too often for how much I play
"Best string" is always relative to what frame and player preference.
Zyex 17g from Klipper! Good stuff in a full bed strung tight or in blend with poly
Not sureabout the Head Velocity MLT. I strung my son's racquet with that and it locked up just like syn gut. Maybe it's the clay court's dust, but I return to syn gut for him.
Also, I would suggest that copying a pro setup can turn out to be a bad idea. Pros change balls and racquet every 9 games, try that as an amateur player!
So tension maintainance is key for us mortals. I missed that in the video.
But for a quick look at what is available on the market the video is very good. Condenses but still comprehensive.
I really like that bite on the ball and tons of spin...i right now i prefer Voikl torque...and other string out there with more bite?
Most bite I've tried is YTEX Square-X Sharp. I didn't love the playability though and I think Grapplesnake Game Changer gets 95% of the way there in terms of bite (2nd sharpest I've tried, more that Ultra Cable) and plays better with more control and feel.
Most players around here use either full poly or full multi/synthetic gut. I'm the only one that I know of who uses a multi in the mains, poly crosses.
Was afraid restring was just a meme a few months ago. Its pretty legit though. Not my favorite poly but real close. Spin and snapback are nutty.
it kind of is a meme in terms of how good it is
Solinco tour bite 1,25 the best!!! And weisscannon ultra cable 1,23 ❤️
Good video (other than the Gamma syn gut omission)! Agree that most intermediates should be using a good syn gut or multi (below average 4.0s and below in my opinion)
If I can keep the ball in on full full swings with a full multi setup, what is the benefit of poly? I am a womens 4.5 and break multi after 4-8 hours which is entirely acceptable to me for durability. The polys that I have tried, I'd have to swing near 100% for snapback which is not sustainable but I have not yet tried a higher powered or thinner poly.
Setups that I've tried (All with ezone 100 2022 version)
Full Velocity MLT 16 @ 55 - Power is good, touch is good, feel is too muted
Full Hyper G 16 @ 46 - So dead unless I swing for the fences, great spin
Full Yonex Rexis Comfort 16 @ 58 - Power is too high, control is too low
Full Diadem Solstace Power 16 @ 47 -Power is not the best, super muted feel, good spin
Full OGSM 17 @ 55 - Good power, nice crispy feel, spin potential too low
Full Gosen AK Pro CX 17 @ 55 - Power is okay, not too muted, great spin for multi
Full Yonex Poly Tour Pro 18 @ 47 - Good spin and snapback, decent but not great power
Have tried all sorts of hybrids as well with the result that it ends up just feeling the same as what the mains feel like. Crossing with a more powerful string doesn't seem to boost the power of the polys enough. Crossing with a stiffer string like syn gut still doesn't change the feel of muted strings.
Currently the best feeling and playing setup I found was AK Pro CX 17 @ 55 mains, Rexis Comfort 16 @ 53 crosses
Any suggestions for more powerful or lively polys to try? Or just stick to full multi setup?
If you hit pretty flat, it might not even be worth going full poly for you. Flat hitters typically benefit more from the direction control of a nylon. If you want to try it one last time, Head Hawk Power is a really enjoyable hitting experience (more nylony than other polys) and I would recommend taking a bigger risk with your tension, dropping down to 43lbs. If you want something that really combines excellent direction control with ease of snapback, Grapplesnake Tour M8 is excellent. Its not super powerful, but its designed to be strung quite low. I was able to retain control at 40lbs and I think that would work for you too.
@@TennCom thanks so much! I will try hawk power as well as lynx and tourna big hitter blue to the more powerful polys list to try.
Do you think there is even benefit to hybrid with poly? And if so do I try in mains or crosses?
@@mindango4092 I think you'll probably prefer nylon mains
I hybrid Restring Zero with Ghostwire and love it in my HEAD Satellite Tour at 57/53.
just the video I needed niceee
For real

I’m trying to learn and your saying head mlt is a ploy? Or it goes well with a poly. You said use mlt poly in the crosses. I’m going to get my racket restrung and had tw set me up with duraflex syn gut and the strings don’t snap back in position very well. I strung at 52
The Head Velocity MLT is a multifilament nylon string, not a poly. It plays nicely when hybrided with a poly.
A friend let me try restring zero a few months ago. Amazing.
boss in the end you went too fast and it is confusing . please clarify if you can. as an intermediate we may not know all the names and you are jumping form one to the other quickly. thanks . your videos help us a lot . thanks
Hi Beckett, what is your opinion on hybriding different gauges of the same string? Planning to use velocity 16 on the mains and 17 on the crosses. Your comments will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance
makes a lot of sense to me tbh
@@TennCom hit today in my TF40 305 16/19 52 main (16) 54 cross(17). There is enhanced spin with ample snap back. fyi. Thanks for the reply
Good video, I like that you recommended a few steps of string exploration based on how people evolve as tennis players, rather than one size fits all recommendations.
Great and helpful video.
Just another alternative between hybrids and full polys, you have soft co-polys as regular Wilson revolve and for shape ones, volkl cyclone (I play the orange one but the yellow is the softest and it exists in real thin gauges).
And of course, between poly and multis, you have the luxilon element which is simply great. Also note that lowering the tension is the way to go with polys.
Hope you ll soon make a video on "soft sticks" for intermediates and advanced players with clash 98, custom Gravity mp, boom mp (with and without lead), prokennex, blade v7, etc... with dampening and/or flex tech (auxetic, feel flex/45, kinnetic, vdm...) And tell people to avoid racquet with a stiffness above 65 as you advice to avoid poly.
Tennis is a sport with competition but players must take care of their body.😊
Hello, coach. I’m intermediate leverl to upper intermediate. I use pro staff 97 V13 315 gr. I use tour bite string. Wich tension do you recommend me to play at the best performance. Because i alwyas try many tension. From 57,56,55,54,53 and now Main 52 with cross 50. Is it good if i string it with tension under 50 ? Like main 49, cross 48/47 ?
I personally would string that racquet at 47lbs to start. Rule of thumb is to string as low as you can control.
@@TennCom 47 lbs at main, Cross 45/46 lbs too ? Or 47 lbs main and cross 47 too ?
Thanks for your comment, coach 🙏🏻
@@TennCom I always lost ny best performance. I don’t have any injury anything. Thank you, coach 🙏🏻
I don't think it really matters, doing everything the same or doing split tension. Just go with what feels right to you.
Great idea to pick this headline. Would be intressting to know what you will think of a great intermidiate solution. The Solinco Tour bite & Vanchish hybrid set.
excellent choice
Thanks for this info. It would be great if you could provide equivalent options to restring zero or grapple snake for India as well. Is Technifiber ice code close enough?
Would also like your comments/review on a soft poly which is Gosen Sidewinder sometime.
Razor Code soft would probably be better of the TF line
@@TennCom razor code is available here, but not razor code soft. Can you please recommend a few more equivalent strings ?
I can't play full poly. I usually go with hybrid soft poly with synthetic gut
thank you
Super helpful video, thanks for posting!!
thanks for watching!
I feel like dynamic tension is important to think about. We give beginners a multifilament setup because the dynamic tension, pretty much how much force it takes to move the strings, is lower. I don't have a tool to get the exact dynamic tension but I've realized stringing a poly really low solves the problems that we have from "normal" tensions.
TL;DR
lower level players can either do multis or poly strung really low and that solves the comfort, power and feel problems that comes with polys. just string low
How low is your low
@@akbarberliani think 35 lbs is the lowest than one could go with poly to still have some control
@@akbarberlian I string stiffer polys 16g around 37 and I still feel like I have control, I do this in a control racket. Wouldn’t recommend in a power racket for sure
Yea I've found success stringing poly at 40-45, and it doesn't hurt my arm unless I'm playing 25+ hours a week
@@BobBob-et9io 25+ hours a week?? damn I thought I played a lot at 6 😂
I just bought a new Vcore 100 2023 and I have tried it with Head Velocity at 50lbs and loved the feeling but the string is getting weared out easily. I also do own Head Lynx Tour. I want to go Hybrid with Velocity (17g) and Lynx Tour, can you please let me know how should I do it (which cross, which main?) and what tension? 4.5 here!
imo Lynx Tour mains, Velocity crosses at 48/50lbs
@@TennCom Thanks a lot! Tomorrow I will give it a go and share my feed back! 🙏
@@atakanozgunertell us here when you use it 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'm a 3.5 playing with a pure drive. What would you suggest for a hybrid with velocity 16g? and what weight? Thanks! love the channel!
A bit off topic but when using a gut/poly hybrid set up, as we know poly needs replacing freaquently while gut lasts and holds tension much longer. So can you leave the gut in and just replace the poly two or three times before replacing the gut?
You can, but I'm not sure you should. It stressed the frame and the gut quite a bit to do all that weaving. If you are fine with that, then it'd be fine to just replace the poly. I personally wouldn't.
I love your videos! But I was thinking of getting a vcore 100 and I have no idea what strings to get, or even tension. I’m pretty decent and I try and play in the style of de menaur or ferrer. Any suggestions? It would help a lot.
Thanks for watching! Yeah VCORE 100 would be a great choice for counter punching, defensive baseline type of players. It was my fav spin racquet of 2023!
Would having a hybrid set-up (synth gut and poly) be good for an intermediate player?
Best multi is Gosen’s AK CX Pro, crisp most durable last 10x or more xompared to biphase.
Playing with this now and I love it. Really crisp for the amount of control and spin you get. Power is lower than most multis but in line with syn guts imo. Plays just like a syn gut with extra spin. Considering trying some other multis tho. Anything similar? How does triax compare?
AK Pro CX is a syn gut, Triax is much better
May be crazy but it works for me. I am a 3.5 and for the past several years have been using a blend combo of Genesis Tsumani for my mains and Head lynx in my crosses in my 2015 Head Radicals MP. Like the racquets and that string combo gives me the spin and the feel that I want and some power when I need it. Very comfortable and durable and arm friendly. It works!
My coach put in Hyper G 16 (55 lbs tension) strings for me and have no idea if they're right for me. They feel good, but I have no comparison. I'm wondering if I should switch to nylon, what would you suggest I try next?
Does tension massively effect the spin/power potential or is that more for fine tuning the control? I liked hyper G @ 54 lbs but wondering if I should also experiment with the same strings at lower tensions (48 lbs)?
I don't think there have been any studies that have found certain correlations between spin and tension, though I feel like i can get more spin with lower tensions. It could be in my head, hard to say since i cant measure RPMs. There is some evidence that you'll get more power (ball speed) but it seems too minor. I would recommend stringing as low as you can control, so definitely recommend trying 48lbs or even lower. I think you'll like this video on tension: th-cam.com/video/1RbHBQ5sp_Q/w-d-xo.html
If Triax is 50% poly 50% multi (or so I read in some reviews) is this similar to a hybrid set up? Therefore can you just keep these as a full bed and not consider hybrid if you want a nice basic power/control/spin balance? I’m a beginner btw.
id say the overall hitting experience is closer to a full bed of nylon, then the performance for spin and durability is decently close to a hybrid yes. I also saw Clay Thompson on Winston Du's channel is using it in a full bed at 39lbs!
I use msv focus hex and xone biphase at 43lbs on my pro staff 97 (315gr). This was suggested by a rather experienced stringer and I’m happy with it! But you might have explained why it was feeling very dead while hitting slow balls and hitting long on faster balls.
Out of curiosity, what is your thoughts on this setup? Thanks :)
Focus hex is very stiff poly, i prefer FH soft. But since you got it with biphase, I guess it kinda works that way too
I think that sounds like an epic setup. COuld be interesting to see what you like better, poly mains or poly crosses.
I love the setup as well!
At the moment, I’ve got poly mains. Haven’t tried other way around. Next time I’ll mention it to my stringer and see what he says.
Though he was telling me that finding xone is getting harder and more expensive (we’re in the UK). So might have a slightly different setup next time
@@akbarberlianit’s very soft actually. I can play for hours with it without any issues.
Love this video. I think you got it 100% right.
Man the worst gatekeeping is on high tension poly strings. "hurr if Tiafoe only plays with 4x lbs, why do you think you need more than 50??". what sense does that make
What is the best string and tension for my Gamma Big Bubba??????
Hello, coach. Why when i try tour bite strings at main 52, cross 50. I hit the ball and the ball is out of baseline :(
Frustated..
What happens if you aim for the service line instead?
@@TennCom if i aim only to the service line instead,
First.. My opponents hit the ball spin. And only defense the ball with raket. And the ball is going up like lob and out.
Or The Second.. My opponent hit he ball with spin and i can’t reach it.
Ghost Wire vs pro line evolution. Which one is better for an hibrid in the crosses?
I dont have enough experience with either to give you any helpful feedback sorry
When’s the natural gut video coming out??
probably like 20 years from now knowing had fast i work
I ve been an avid tennis fanatic for 20 yrs. I play at least three times a week. I love tennis. I say this because my observations are this . . You ask any 5 so called experts on the best string and you'll get 5 different answers. It's different strokes for different folks. I think strings and racquets are dependent what one feels comfortable and most confident.
best string for x purpose is nothing more than a starting point
Love your videos!
I normally use Tecnifibre’s poly 1.20 in Pure Aero 98 and break a main string pretty fast. I decided to try a hybrid: Hyper-g soft 1.20 main, velocity (17) cross. And I can’t break them. I thought poly gives more durability in terms of breaking strings, but it seems like my hybrid is even more durable. Any thought why?
that's quite weird. Do you usually break the mains or the crosses?
@@TennCom only mains, never crosses
@@TennCom finally broke cross multi. As soon as the coating was damaged it took very little to break it
Hi man from Greece,nice job! I have already two months blade 16/19 v8 and iam satisfied whith racket and control.i use lynx yellow colour many years. I would like maybe a little more power to my racket,and of course soft feeling like lynx. What do tou think some recommendations?
thanks! I would just drop the tension by a kilo or so
I’m going to try restring zero. Intermediate 3.50 playing with a pure strike. My question is what tension to string it? I have a pretty solid forehand with lots of top spin, medium, backhand and medium volleys. Comments please?
If you use poly, I recommend using your normal tension. If you use multi, drop tension by 3lbs. If you don't have a baseline start at 50lbs for this.
Aloha Beckett, Great content! 👍Solid advice for the avid tennis player - Intermediate and beyond! 👍👍
Been following your channel since I started playing back in february. What are your thoughts on Hyper G Soft? I switched to full poly setup recently, switched to Hyper G Soft from Yonex syngut (dynawire) and I noticed it was way more comfortable and my hitting partner told me my balls were heavier. Honestly I had fear of trying polys because of the injuries it can cause, but I've been fine.
P.S. I want to start my own stringing service at home, do you have any tips you can give me?
Not Beckett but I did play with Hyper G Soft for a year. An amazingly soft string and had no issues with injuries playing 3-5 times a week. Only switched cause that green looks UGLY on my pure aero 😂. Currently use Yonex Poly Tour Rev.
i havent tried HG Soft yet but will soon. For at home stringing, make sure you are a pro with your own sticks before accepting client work but other wise its pretty straight forward
@@TennCom Thank you a lot! And yes I will begin with my own rackets.
@@donpham8901 I'm using a Vcore 100 and to be honest I like the look of it 😅
Wanted to try the M. F. strings which one would you recommend to try for the first time? Great info!
Head Velocity for decent spin/all-around or X-1 BiPhase if you want something more gut-like
@@TennCom X1 it is thanks T C will follow up
where would stand Technifibre Red Core and Razor Soft in Poly family respect to Restring Zero, Confidential and Tour sniper please???
haven't tried them, but from what I've heard, much closer to Confidential or Tour Sniper as they prioritize control more than spin.
Thanks, because as you said in my country available brands are totally different. I guess I ’ll try them first when I switch from VS touch.@@TennCom

Amazing wow. Control
Hey Beckett, I want to switch rackets and have been looking into the vcore 95 and vcore 98 2023 versions
My racket of choice is the 2021 gravity mp...
With 10grams in the butt cap
And 8.5 grams at the head in the 12 o clock position
With a leather grip
Strings-Hyper g 1.25mm/16L gauge strung at 55lbs
I play close to an 11.5-13 UTR level and I have an all courter gamestyle with super spinny and heavy ground strokes with
Huge flat and kick serves...
I don't really have the option to demo rackets here in India so would really like to know which racket would suit my style more... the vcore 95 2023 or the 98 2023?
I would really appreciate if you could help me out with this 🙏🏽
Keep the good work... been a fan of your content since months 👌🏽👍🏽
Everyone's suggestions are welcomed 🙂
I don't think you'll have any control issues with the 98 given that you are using the 95. At that level, i think you could be trying to use the most powerful racquet you can control to get the edge. If the 98 can work for Tommy Paul I think it can work for you too!
Hi, a thin gauge can help intermediate player like me for improve snapback without have a super fast swing?
I'd say its definitely worth a try
Have you ever consider that your injury came mainly from your new frame? I ve sold all my stiff rackets and i m ok the last few months.The most painfull was to sell my ezpne100 (we had a lot of discission) for a vcore 100 that i m striggling to learn.But with this and tecnifibre iso 305 i can use any string with no pain as i had problems with ezone ,aeros and many other frames with the 3-4 same strings i use.
im going to make a video about my elbow problem, i dont think its related to the frame, but i do think its related to one of the products i tested, but not for stiffness reasons
Going to try for the first time a hybrid set up, Head velocity on cross and head lynx on mains, i currently use a full bed of hyber G poly, should I string the hybrid at a higher tension than what i currently use? or do i keep it the same? Thanks for any help!
i recommend keeping the poly the same, but +2lbs on the nylon
thanks!@@TennCom
Hey, I recently tried out a Wilson k factor blade team 104. I really liked it compared to the pure aero 2019 I currently have and was wondering if there were similar rackets that would be easier to get since the kblade is so old
Blade 104 still exists in the V8 form. The V6 Blade would probably be a closer match though. Sadly there basically arent control oriented oversized racquets anymore. The Gravity MP sort of sits the bill because the head shape is so wide though.
Hi Beckett, what do you think of RPM Blast Rough? I love it since switching from Champion's Choice in my Pro Staff RF 97 to the Aero 98
i am a fan of RPM Rough, probably my fav string from Bab
Hi, just wanted to ask which color is best for velocity MLT? Natural or Black? Thanks
Black is noticeably more slippery which helps with spin
Ok so I currently use the head lynx tour at 54 and I really like it but what I also felt it when you said intermediate players will suffer from the lower forgiveness of a poly. So I was wondering, what is a multifilament or hybrid setup that can mimic or be similar to a full bed of Head Lynx tour but with the extra forgiveness, that way I don’t sacrifice much on spin and benefit from said forgiveness of the spin. Thank you for this video by the way, I feel like this was made for me 😭😭😭
I think your best bet is probably dropping the tension to like 45lbs if not venturing a little lower.
@@TennCom really?? wouldn’t that just make my balls fly out more often since it’d increase my power. I also want to try out restring zero since you’ve been talking about it a lot.
@@TennCom Do you believe dropping tension increases the energy transfer or just increases the launch angle and therefore depth? My experiences seem to lean towards the latter
6:19 - Ouch, poor Trey 🥲
Great Video. Thanks.
What do you think of Tecnifibre Black Code? for a Tecnifibre 298 Iga.
Thanks
still have not tried
How do you think about:
1. Razor Code? Plush and pocketing but the launch angle is so low
2. TB/Vanquish hybrid prepackaged? Will it give good snapbacks like Zero hybrid? Imo TB plays a bit boardlike
1. Haven't tried it yet.
2. No snapback isn't great with that hybrid. The best I tried was Wasabi X crosses and Solinco X Natural mains for snapback with a multifilamnet hybrid.
have you tried the grapplesnake paradox pro yet? curious what you think about it
yes but not for long enough to say anything intresting since i hurt myself
@@TennCom did you like it? how'd you rate it, if tour m8 is a 10
@@wagjkproduction755 8 or 9 i think
@@TennCom appreciate that! I liked it so far.
was surprised to see it being quite heavy, nearly 5g more than an alpha setup on my vcore 95; though I noticed alpha is light even compared with tour m8/sniper.
and I was using the lighter gauge 1.26
Great Video ! Please test the new KIRSCHBAUM FLASH 👍❗❗⚠ I tell you best feeling , power and Spin together in one string you would be surprised!!
I noticed when you were discussing good syn gut manufacturers you left Gamma off the list. Was that intentional? I often use Gamma Syn w duraflex out of default.
Not intentional. Usually when I leave things off lists its for time savings purposes.
Any idea / proposal how to get my handy on restring zero in europe? Anyone who is importing?
What string would you recommend for Wilson blade 98 16x19? Thinking of trying Toroline wasabi pro hybrid or restring zero
I think the Grapplesnake stuff plays better in the Blades. Zero and Toroline's stuff is quite muted. IMO the Blades play better with crisp, responsive poly's like Tour Sniper, M8 or Alpha for more spin. If you are firm on Toroline, I'd do Enso Pro grey or Toro Toro, as I think they both feel pretty connected. For ReString, I'd wait till next month to try their new string!
Any recommendations for an all around racket and string setup? I currently use a 2020 Vcore 98 w rpm rough (just switched to confidential). My main misses are shooting a little long and double faults (skill) lol.
+2lbs on tension and see if that reels things in for you
Yo what about Wasabi Pro Hybrid? I’m running restring in one racquet and the wasabi pro hybrid in the other. I feel more snap back or pop from the hybrid.
i love pro Hybrid!
Hey, what string do you recommend for 2021 radical mp? I’m intermediate player and looking for something nice and spinny.
I'd go for ReString Zero 1.23 to get a little extra lift on the ball
Hey man greetings,what do you think about re string zero or grapple snake tour snipe?
i prefer Sniper
Im deciding between ezone 98,pure aero 98, and vcore 98. Which one is best for a aggresive baseliner that hits with spin but still wants feel and maneuverability?
probably the EZONE 98. I think the Aero might be better for the style in general, but the maneuverability isnt great at 330SW. The EZONE is way faster feeling.
@@TennCom okay thank you! I am gonna try to demo them.
I'm about to string my new radical MP for the first time. I just don't know what string to pick and at what tension. I had some arm problems before (not because of tennis) picking up tennis again 2 years ago. I started with the clash v2 with multi strings. I've since then owned the yonex ezone 98 and the wilson blade 100 v8. Anyhow no problem with my arm, a little with my wrist (under cotrol for the time being). So I'm looking for some comfort. The problem with a lot of the comfort strings like multifillament, is that I get a lot of added power in comparison to most polys. My topspin isn't the best so I can't control too much power like I'd want to. What would be a good set up for the Radical MP? Some comfort but less power. I do like the feel of a string that has some bite to it. I've played some when I was younger, so I'm not a beginner. An intermediate player. Thank for all the great work!
If you want to go for a poly, I would try something shaped at a very low tension like 40lbs. Something like Toroline Wasabi or Hyper-G Soft will give you a relatively comfortable feel and the amount of ball pocketing you'll get might help you feel the ball on the strings more to help you understand how to create spin. If you wanna stay with a flat hitter's setup, a full bed of Triax would play awesome in that racquet at 50lbs.
Hi, Beckett! Thanks a lot for all your videos! So much useful information!
Currently playing with ezone 98 last gen. Love it for the dence string pattern and 320 SW. I can swing it very fast with lots of spin. Forehand just super nice! My concern is the serve. There is no feel in this racket. Kick isn't stable at all. I played Radical Mp auxetic. Serve and feel were great, volleys awesome, but 330 SW (quality control sucks) was very high for me. Can u suggest a racket wich can meet both worlds for me? (easy to swing and good feel) Thanks!
I think you are best off finding a Rad MP that has the target 320 SW
I really like this video, it is good info for all of us. Me myself finaly found my racquet Prince 100x 16x18. The string I use now is the solinco hyper g soft. I kind of like it. But I am really looking for a pink string. A soft round polly. Thank you for the vids
Toroline Wasabi is avail in pink but its square shaped with round corners
@@TennCom thank you for the update. I will look into it. I also forgot to Menton that I am based in the Netherlands in Europa.
I remember that you also liked the toroline rounded soft polly?
What do you think of confidential in 1.20, seems very comfortable and predictable
compared to some softer polys, i dont think the comfort is that great, but its in my Top 3 fav polys of all time so
Use it on a hybrid
Use it on a softer or more powerful racket.
What tension would you recommend I string my mains with if I want a hybrid set up? I play with a full bed of poly at 54 lbs in my extreme mp.
keep your poly the same then +2lbs on the nylon
@@TennComthanks a bunch!
How about Head Rip Control for spin?
i dont have a ton of experience with RipC other than stringing it. I hate stringing it so i probably wont ever get around to testing it
I’m using multi 52lb on mains and poly 50lb on crosses and I found myself some times inconsistent to put the ball on the court and also like you said sometimes the ball dies, I run like a demon every time I play so putting the ball on the court is what I want. Can you recommend me something pls? I use the EZONE 98
sounds like a pretty consistent setup, do you string frequently enough?
lower tension for a 98. syn gut mains 16g @ 48 Poly cross 18 @ 45
@@TennCom at the start they were but I play three times a week and I haven’t strung since July
Do you think I could use the Wilson k factor 95 and still be successful
I’m 15 and I’m about a 4.5
yes of course but i think you might be more successful with a modern 98
Hey Beckett, is there a string similar to poly tour pro that lasts longer? Or would a hybrid with MLT help it maintain playability for longer? I find it to get a little loose after 4 matches. Was also using lynx and same issue.
Try Toroline Caviar. Very similar feel to PTP but shaped and the tension should hold longer.
Never tried nylon… maybe we should 👀
What’s the best string for pickleball?
g-string
No love for my fave syn guts Gamma TNT or Professional - my feelings are hurt. Guess it doesn't sound as cool/esoteric/unique as something like Gosen lol
day 10 million of me still never having tried any gamma strings despite using a gamma stringing machine
@@TennCom came back to tennis a few years ago, didn't even know about polys; my trusty go to string was always Gamma TNT, and lo and behold it's still going strong! Gamma Professional is a newer one, both are awesome syn gut strings. Now I'm pretty much all poly - I was blown away by the ability to take full cuts at the ball and keep the ball in, with lots of topspin and kicks on my serve
Has anyone told you you look a lil like Ben Shelton? I love ur videos btw! 😎
surprisingly yes, immense compliment
The audio in this video needs cleaning up- at several points there’s quite loud noises and it’s very distracting.
Next talk to me about string gauge/thickness, BECKETT DADDY!
as a new person to tennis i feel like a man in sephora store. 😵💫😵💫😵💫
godspeed maam
This summer i started playing again after 27 years with a Boom Pro (Luxilon Alu power 25/24kg) and a Boom MP (Hyper G 23/22) kg and had massive tennis elbow as well as wrist pain. Any recommendation for a new string setup which is much more comfortable and maybe still gives the booms the control and reliability they naturally seem to lack? (intermediate player) thanks!
Tecnifibre Triax might help. One potential cause could be switching between the two racquets. Tennis elbow isn't exclusively caused by stiff strings/racquets. It's often caused by something that occurs during our swings and playing with two different frames could be causing uneven stresses on your muscles.
@@TennCom decided to give your suggested hybrid of velocity mlt (cross 1.30mm) and lynx (main 1.25mm) a try. Do you have a recommendation in regard to the tensions? Thanks :)
Have you migrated over to hybrid?
No. I'm going to be doing a nylon hybrid series of videos soon, but I still cant really play due to my elbow thing which seems to be some sort of simultaneous golfers/tennis elbow things. Its not really the impact shock thats doing me in but the windshield wiper-like motion on my forearm.
where is grapplesnake M8?
tbh i forgot about it for this video, but it is a great option at this level, especially when strung ultra low (40lbs)
Might wanna filter out that annoying background sound of something hitting a desk, for a moment I thought it was the guy hitting the desk with journal or something.
They are all good strings. Use whatever and learn to move ones feet first. Strings are 2-5% of equation
Synthetic gut plays great for the first hour until it starts losing tension and the ball starts flying!
