It's worth mentioning that testing a lot of strings isn't something you do easily or simply. It takes time and money to continually change out strings, so I think we should all appreciate what is being done here for the wider community.
Thank you Jonas!
Thanks!
@@Tennisnerd what do you think about the yonex poly tour pro? i started playing with it and really like it!
@@janzons8352
He talks about PTP in this video.
Always love your thoughts in this space. Definitely fun to tinker. Q - I can't remember if you've ever commented on Tier One's Black Knight string? A few reviews were positive, so I ordered some to try in my ezone 98 '22 - really like the spin and tension maintenance so far. Cheers.
There are so many good strings out there! Some are too expensive, for example the RS Lyon that is great overall.
Others are quite cheap and very good for training.
If I was going to play just one match today, I'd choose the Kirschbaum Max Power 1.20/17. It had the best feel for 4-5 hours.
Isospeed make some great strings. I've played with the Cream and recently the Black Fire. Just a bit more powerful than I wanted, but fantastic overall.
There are many many many choices out there. If you're not competing at a high level, spending more than 14€ per set is too much for me.
I play at 22kg.
I tried in many rackets msv co focus 1,18 mains and l.element 1,25 crosses (-1kg strung) and i m very satisfied overall!
Have you tried any of the technifibre code red or black? I love the black 4s at the moment with my babolat pure drive. Great tension maintenance which i love the most. Great spin especially when new the first 5 hours
Can you talk about stringing a poly at different tensions in the mains and crosses and the pros and cons? Thanks Jonas love the vids
Thanks! Yes, will talk about that in an upcoming video. Good idea!
I have been stringing 1kg less in the crosses (unless using gut) and I like it...sweetspot feels bigger to me.
Hey Jonas, out of these polys which plays the most similar to Confidential?
I use Confidential with a Prince Syn Gut in my current setup and quite enjoy it. I just have different tensions in my rackets to cater for different playing days, conditions and opponents.
Congratulations on the work. I really like your channel.
I use the Luxilon 4g rope on the Pro Staff v13 and I have a feeling it's a lot less stiff than its rating indicates. I have no arm problems.
Have you already tested this racket with the 4g? What voltage would you recommend for this set?
Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and insights.. I needed some good suggestions..thanks again!
Thanks Alex
Hey Jonas, what do you think are the best strings for something like the dunlop cx 200. Love watching the vids!
last hybrid combo i've done totally out of curiosity, went incredibly well. Hyper G soft 1.25 mains and Head Sonic pro 1.25 crosses at 24/23 and it feels very sweet. nice control with a little extra oompf from the Sonic Pro, it's really easy to play and easy spin as well. touch is just right in my opinion. feels nice and comfy. very arm friendly.
with the same strokes, compared to a full bed Hyper G soft, my balls are flatter in trajectory but i get a nice depth with still a margin of error because the curve is still pronounced. it dips down nice and quick at the end. forehands on chops are net rasant rockets without even forcing on it. i really do enjoy that combo. that much that i think i'm gonna stick with that for the moment. roller of Sonic Pro costs pennies. almost half price of Solinco. which makes it even more appealing.
i can't recommend it enough. ok i'm a club player, but i'm progressing really quick and my game starts to be shaped. my level is good enough to plan my tactics for points.
Top Spin Max Rotation is great . Hybrid it with poly tour pro crosses. Very nice combination.
Thank you for your great review.
I need your advice in strings . I used to play with Babolat pure Aero (banana ) and i really liked babolat rpm blast. Few weeks ago ive switched to the new V core 100 and tried yonex poly rev strings but didnt liked it that much. Can you recommend a string for this racket ( looking for spin & control and good feeling ) .
Thank you
What do you think about making a video about pros pro strings? I'm now using the eruption string and i'm enjoying it a lot. Thanks a lot for the content! Greetings from Brazil!
hi Jonas...would you go with hyper g or lynx tour on a youtek speed (315, 18x20, 20mm beam)? Im using cyclone tour at 48lb and dont like it very much...its not bad, but, nothing great... Im thinking going down to 46 or 44...
Hello Jonás, thx for the vid. Are you still using your head extreme tour ? What is in your opinion the best string for this raquet ? I really like solinco confidential, I tried the head lynx tour and I liked it as well but a litlle bit to lively and less control oriented. I would like to try the grapplesnake sniper tour. I heard good things about it and it come prestretched so it should maintain pretty well the tension.
Ps: who is your pick for Roland garros ?
Hi 👋🏼 it’s pity that you haven’t done the review of Roland Garros this time as you did it before with other GSs. That was nice yet unique content on your channel
I currently have the Grapplesnake Tour M8 strung at 40lbs in the Rafa Aero - plays really well effortless power & spin - but to make it even softer (arm injuries) can i pair it with the Yonex Multifilament Rexis comfort or speed in a hybrid set up & if so at what tension & how to use - the Rexis in the mains & the tour m8 in the cross or the other way round - Thanx
Great review. I like that you mention smaller brands a lot. I would love to see a video about great multi for hybrid that don’t fray too much too fast. Some multi are great but the fray so badly
Trouble with multis as crosses is most are soft, of course, but are not very slick and create stri gs sticking out of place. Instead try a decent syn gut of which there are many
Also will be great to see you top - co-poly and miltifilament strings in 2022.
It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the most popular strings on the market. It's easier to understand from you because you are very clear about your preferences.
Can I ask your opinion, for players with arm issue, better to lower tension usual poly strings (like from 52 lbs down to 45 lbs) or switch to soft poly with usual used tension (stay with 52 lbs). Thanks.
How about Grapplesnake Tour sniper. Play tested it in comparison to my Go to (Hyper G) and loved it.
Maillot Savarez Monoflash 1.18
Amazing string. Used Kirschbaum line Evolution before
Have you used zons polymo hexplosion? It’s a sided poly quite cheap and sorta soft (it’s rated as firm but it’s somehow powerful) it’s probably the best bang for your buck in South America if you like something cheap and good
Can you recommend a string that works well in the Gravity Pro Aux. Just got a the raquet abd excited to try it out.
Would Cyberflash be a medium stiff? I’m always looking for the most plush and controlled poly any recommendations Jon? 😊
For babolat pure drive 2021 ehat you recommend? I'm currently on rpm blast orange 1.30 55lbs and find hard on control, hyper g 55lbs 1.20 a lot of control but low power? Maybe less tension?
Can You please recommend poly string for blade 98 16x19 V7, but to play without vibration dampener? Which would feel good? Thanks a lot!
Hi Tennis Nerd, could you do a video on strings for junior players? I have seen a lot of people saying you don't need multifilament due top the soft poly's available. Thanks John.
Jonas. I once promised to send you a set of Tecnifibre Black code 16g in lime color but but I never found the time to do it. I have tried almost all the strings that you mentioned in my Head extreme Tour and nothing has come to be as comfortable, spin friendly, powerful and very controlable like the Black code. Give it a try!
Jonas!!!🏆 I'm still using Mayami Tour Hex in my Speed Pros, feels good.
What do you think of Luxilon Original? Cheers
What do you think of Signum Pro strings (X-Perience) for example or Genesis?
What are your thoughts on solinco confidential verses hyper g?
I am so happy with the Isospeed Rexxer and Isospeed V18 as a hybrid on my Head Prestige MP L….
What is a good poly to hybrid with wilson nxt?
I really like Tourna Silver 7 Tour. Plays like Alu but at less than half the price.
Plays like MSV Focus-Hex Soft with better snapback... Far from Alu... Confidential kills it
@@nakmuay5034 I think you're confusing it with Big Hitter Silver (which is a soft string). Silver 7 Tour is a different string - much stiffer and crisper and similar to Alu. Confidential is muted internet hyped garbage.
@@vwmusicplaylist1935 no I own all these strings... silver without 7 is a nice string, I use it in the crosses
@@nakmuay5034 I suspect you're confusing one string with another. Alu is unique but Tourna Silver 7 Tour isn't wildly dissimilar - plays like a combination of Alu and Yonex PTS. Nothing like MSV Focus Hex Soft though. Watch the TW video review for example - they talk about "firm", "control orientated", "grabbed the felt", "similar to Tour Bite" etc etc.
Hi! Not sure if this is the place to ask this but … I was wondering if you’d consider making a video on the the hardest hitters on tour and whether it’s their set up or technique or both that generates the result? Tsitsipas said last year that he’s never played against anyone who hits the tennis ball harder than Alcaraz; Berrettini is often quoted as having one of the most powerful forehands , alongside Ruud, Sinner, Rublev … and before them Del Potro, Wawrinka..etc. Do they have any similarities in racket or string style or it’s mainly their biomechanics generating the power ? Thanks !!
It's all biomechanics, man, same as Iga Świątek on the women's tour. Long loose swings with perfectly-timed forward weight transfer and leg drive, especially with a straighter hitting arm, gives the racket a lot of space for acceleration and increases the length of the effective "lever". At that level of play the racket setups are more about added weight for stability and control-oriented strings, since the player's swing generates more than enough power on it's own, no assistance from the racket necessary.
Kirschbaum pro line evolution is in my racket atm, must say it is great.
Switched to this from Hyper G 4 weeks ago. It's lasting amazing! I usually switch before that. It's cheaper, softer. Little bit less spin but the trade off is 100% worth it, spin is unreal for round poly. Hidden gem.
Any thoughts on Solinco Barb Wire and Prince Vortex?
Where do you buy String Project Magic?
have you heard of golden set Strings? if so, ever tried? Any good?
Thoughts about the Ytex Square X-Sharp? Thanks
Hi Jonas, very helpful info here, thanks for the video. I have just made the change from YT speed MP315 16x19 (usually hyper G 16l 45lbs) to the the Vcore98+ (hyper G 16l at 48lbs), I am loving the racket but starting to feel elbow pain which I never had with the speed. I don't want to drop tension lower than 48lbs as the depth of my shots is great with the Vcore98, also don't want to lose my arm though 😅. Is it worth trying a different string set-up considering hyper G is already soft ?
I would try 45lbs...Im using that same speed 18x20 with cyclone tour at 48, and I will try hyper g at 45...maybe lynx tour... I used 44 on my old lm radicals, and loved it...I could even go 40...
Have you ever considered making a series of videos about racquets with their intended strings? I always see that some racquets need a specific string or brands will say what kind of string this racquet should have but not all racquets do that. Would be interesting to see
Interesting idea, I will have a think about it.
It sound interesting request.. but it will be on the tester or reviewer personal taste and play style i think..
I like to use Polystar Classic 1.30 at 21kg tension. Its round monofilament polyester string thats on the softer side and costs only about 60€ for 400m gigantic reel. Not the best polyester string by any means, but its dirt cheap soft polyester string that works well.
I bought a set of the Polystar Classic back in December for 4€! Then saw it being sold for just 1.5€!!!
Ι haven't played with it yet though, because other strings came into my hands.
I'm really curious to see how it performs, considering the really low price.
I heard about it from Nicola Aracic "Intuitive Tennis"
@@experientialtennis I’ll tell you that its not a spin monster, but its farely powerful for a polyester string. Also Nikolay Davydenko used Polystar strings on tour in 2009 so its pretty old tennis string design.
Thoughts on hybrids with poly mains and multi crosses?
I've tried several variations and just don't see why this is a popular pairing. Even if the poly main is round, the soft nylon cross dents after just a few hours of play and locks the mains in place. Doesn't that severely hinder spin generation?
Yes, once the mains cannot slide anymore you are playing with a board essentially. The mains must be able to slide L-R to produce spin! Once the *crosses* are notched/dented you should just cut the strings. If the mains are dented/notched only, then that is ok. They will still slide.
Cool video, thanks. Any thoughts on yonex strings? I like tour pro yellow (feel very plush) and poly tour spin (very hard but crazy grippy)
He literally mentioned PTP yellow as one of his favourites
@@harryfowler1917 my bad. I did hit skip two times
How does the Toroline Caviar compare to the Yonex PTP?
I used to play with hyper G all the time, but it just always felt dead to me- there was no spin, control, or power. I switched to solinico your bite, the predecessor to hyper g, and it is so much better for my game
For the new extreme tour would you recommend game changer or m8 if I’m looking to maximize topspin and slice? And what tension?
M8 for me, 51 lbs
For me
RPM Rough 17 Mains
Head Hawk Touch 18 Cross
Has been heavenly.
Super soft and great feel. Great spin. Great durability and control
What tension do you have?
@@delwynstanley5581 48 mains. 50 cross. blade 98 v7 16 x 19 at 342 static weight
How about lxn alupower lime or alupower RG? These strings are softer than the original version.
Is there any benefit sticking with brands. Same racket and string brand. Or is more of an OCD thing people generally stick with same names
I really like Lynx Tour and Tourna Silver 7 Tour or Signum Pro X-Perience if I want to go softer.
Three good strings!
I need some advice, I'm using a wilson RF97 Autograph with hybrid strings, babolat Xcel 16 on the mains at 59 pounds and RPM Blast on the crosses at 57 pounds, but they don't last me more than 4 sets so I plan to go back to just Poly, What tension do you recommend for this racket and what strings as an option? On the second regular Pro Staff 315gs racket (currently 345gs) I use RPM at 52 pounds.
My RF97 is stiffer (and heavier, obviously) than my PS97 so I found that lowering the tension helped the feel a lot. I use ALU power rough or Hyper G at 49lbs for a full bed of Poly in the RF97
uhm what?? you have spin oriented strings for crosses?? are you drunk mate? you should have them the other way around.
I literally just bought a few packs of new strings. What are the chances
What string do you recommend for the wilson clash v2? I also like it a bit easy on the arm.
hyper g all the way. although i did not like my wilson clash v.1
Just curious what your thoughts are on RS Lyon and Kischerbaum MaxPower which is sorta similar to it. To me those have what was good about previously very popular Alu Power (spin, control and comfort), but without Alu's horrible tension loss and poor durability. RS Lyon in particular has almost unbelivable tension maintanance and durability.
I'm a big fan of RS Lyon and it's my preferred string in hybrids for example. I also enjoy Max Power and would probably be my choice for a full bed, but it's a little stiffer.
Have you tried tier one? Especially Ghostwire as a cross to another poly.
Played with it last month in full-bed. Very similar to the Topspin Cyber Soft. Both made in a (same?) factory in Taiwan. Good for training. Easy depth. Nice control. Good tension maintenance.
Have you tested the hybrid setup with Head Lynx touch in the mains and head lynx tour in the cross..! im a HUGE Fan of what setup in my Head speed mp 2022!
do the inverse
@@nakmuay5034 why?
Love the channel!! I have a blade 98 (16x19) v7, would you be kind enough to recommend string set up for this racquet? Currently I string it with head velocity MLT but wanted to explore poly or hybrid setup .. thanks in advanced! BTW, I have fully recovered from last year tennis elbow and certainly want to avoid living in that moment again
You can use HEAD Velocity in the mains at 25 kg and Luxilon Alu Power (or HEAD Hawk or Hawk Power) in the crosses at 23 kg, for example.
@@Tennisnerd thank you, and what should I expect to see with the poly cross? would lynx tour be ok as well?
@@Tennisnerd thanks again for spending the time reading and answering my comment, you are the best!
@@nwongs01 Another "friendly arm" hybrid option I am using with my sons 12 & 14 since years ago,
Main with Isospeed Cream 1,28 mm 23,5 kg or less. (there is 1,23 mm gauge, too)
Crossed with Head Velocity 1,30 mm (22,5 or 23 kg) natural color.
I did tests with 24,5 kg main decresing until 22 kg main...always minus 0,5 kg to 0,8kg in crossed...
IMO..better tension , ready to go was 23kg...or 23,5 kg having at least 1h played before match.
24,5 kg at Main in winter ( indoor & less 10 C degrees) sounds bit stiff.
I am stringing for my sons.
Hybrid is lasting more than 15 or 18h intensive use.
Flat hitter ( one if my sons) almost 20 h with hybrid. too.
With 15h use tension is still there to play....then Velocity is starting fraying and after this moment 3 to 5 h only to be played until breaking.
Velocity black color is fraying quicker.
Fyi, reverse hybrid...not good enough...Velocity in main is sawed quickly and ball flying more.. without control.
@@erch7043 thanks so much for taking the time to help me out. Great and helpful information. Funny I also have kids around 14s that I string for them. I’ll mirror your recommended set up and go from there!
What about the code black do you not like?
How about signum pro x-perience ?? Are u used this??? Thanks for answer!
Very good string! Compares well with Hyper-G.
What shoes are you wearing at 3:32?
They are super clean.
HEAD Revolt Pro 4.0 - very nice and comfortable. I review them in a recent video.
Do you wait for you strings to break or do you cut them out after X amount of hours?
I'm not much of a string breaker so when I feel I have lost significant control, I cut them out.
Hey , unrelated to this video. But are you watching the french open? Any chance of the day by day updates like the aus open?
I am watching, but I've been a bit overloaded time-wise to do daily updates, sadly.
@@Tennisnerd same here , no time to watch French open , just enough to watch tennisnerd uploads
Great video and hopefully you will do video on end of the year 2022 top strings builds. Unfortunately lots of those brands might be little difficult to find it here in US.
Have you played with Angell Red Bite at all? Currently using it in all 3 of my rackets but was curious on your thoughts as there's not much out there on them, bit concerned i've got "hooked" on it too much to dare try other stuff!
what is the Red bite like? spin, feel, control wise is it a soft or firm Poly? I've just ordered Angell sample pack very interested to try them
@@jodunkley3452 I really like it, using it in a Head Extreme Tour at 51/53 and. HEAD speed MP-X at 50/52 good string allows good power, very good spin, control.. Not as much but its not a crazy string! I really enjoy it.
@@timbrad sounds good, look forward to trying it.👍
@@jodunkley3452 I hope you enjoy it! What are you putting it in?
@@timbrad I've recently bought the Tecnifibre T Fight Rs 16x19. As I'm just getting through tennis elbow I'm looking for a softish Poly so I don't aggravate it, currently using Babolat Xcel mains and Tecnifibre HDMX x's which is a horrible string but needed to soften string bed for a while. B4 that I was using a volkl v sense tour lovely racket but bit too heavy now
Found my string in lynx tour 1.30 27kg mains 26kg crosses on volkl c10pro
and I cannot see Toroline Caviar available UK. Off topic I love Robin Soderling holed overgrips and also tennis balls too.
Yeah, Toroline Caviar is hard to get in Europe it seems. If anyone has any advice, let me know. Soderling stuff is generally high quality in my opinion.
You should do a gut string comparison
I’ve noticed extreme vibration when stringing in the 30s. Do you ever get that when you string low?
@Eric Estrada Thanks Eric. I thought stringing it lower would cause less vibration and decrease string bed stiffness but it seemed to be even harder on the arm strung at 33 instead of the usual 52 because of the extreme vibration.
How does Grapplesnake tour m8 compare to tour sniper by Grapplesnake?
Ytex hexagon x for me. Strung in sergetti method it’s very good in every racket I’ve tried it in.
I'd recommend you give Tier One's Strike Force RIP a try, I've not seen much in terms of reviews of this string but I've really enjoyed it in Yonex Ezone 100
How much for a reel? I use Tier 1Triumph (multi) but would like to try SFRip
@@K4R3N they have a sale going right now. I think you can get a reel for $65
@@returntotennis706 wow thanks.. I'll check it out..discount code required?
@@K4R3N nope
Jonas you should try out a poly string named snake bite it is like an rpm blast
Wondering if you've tried Luxilon 4G soft? I really like it. Haven't found a review on your website for it
Yes, that is a very good one! Used to use that a lot some years back.Need to make a review then :)
@@Tennisnerd you da man! :) appreciate your content
for all UK listeners/watchers I cannot see Grapplesnake, Miyami or String Project available here? Hyper G Soft is a great string....my fave poly. Best budget poly is pro's pro nano cyber power (silly name). Best multi fibre but pricey is Technifibre Triax. Best gut is Bab VS...be careful with the cheaper guts and avoid. Enjoying nylon again now or synthetic gut but all my choices are based on serious elbow issues too. don't. forget. to. play. some. tennis!
Best multi by far is Pro Kennex Impact Plus 1.25... Made by Gosen in Japan... Too soft to use in hybrid, notch quickly
@@nakmuay5034 yes my second favourite is Gosen Tecgut Multi CX. I will see if I can buy Impact Plus thanks
What are the most powerful polys?
Would love to get your opinion on the TECHNIFIBRE razor code “carbon” 1.25 it’s currently my favourite string in my Wilson six one 95 v13. Thanks
I’m currently playing with it in my TF40 18x20. Loses tension so quickly
@@eaglespjd I play about 4 times a week and have been restringing about every 2-3 weeks. This seems to be the case for most polys that I have tried and liked
Caviar is so niceeeee I buy them in bulk!
Jonas - Top content as usual!
Thanks man! Appreciate it.
Cheers to the MSV Focus Hex 1.27 shout out. Great string and affordable, as you mention. Also, try Head Lynx (just Lynx) in yellow. Great feel and good spin for a round poly. Also, a surprisingly effective soft cross string is Wilson Synthetic Gut Power 16, also priced right. For an interesting hybrid, try the MSV Focus Hex shaped poly, crossed with the Head Lynx smooth poly. Extra control and very good feel and spin. The smooth crosses really let the shaped mains glide for extra spin potential and the all-poly hybrid really lets you swing out for good racquet head speed. Not to throw shade, but I really feel Hyper-G is a little overrated. If you really like strings with extreme edges that still have good feel and durability, try Volkl V-Square. You'll be happily surprised. And folks, if you're serios about tennis, get a stringing machine and learn to string for yourself. You can pick up a Gamma drop weight machine for $250-$300, or less used. It will pay for itself in cost saving and fresh string satisfaction for years to come.
MSV Focus Hex and Head Lynx are nothing special, too plastic feel... Even Hex Soft isn't as soft....
@@nakmuay5034 Nak how many strings have you ever tried? Do you string your own? What's your level of experience?
i've tried the majority of the strings available in Europe... MSV is cheap good quality but nothing special, no feeling, a lil boardy... like Tourna 7 strings... yeah I string for myself
@@nakmuay5034 yes weird, hex soft IA stiffer than hex regular
So what's your go to string set up and on what racquet?
poly tour rev - element - Alu Vibe - Rpm
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 tested a considerable amount of popular strings and narrowed my top 4 strings to : Tecnifibre Ice Code, Tecnifibre black code 4S, Head Lynx Touch and Yonex Polytour Rev. Any thoughts on these that you have not already reviewed? (saw your Head Lynx Touch review)
My new Tecnifibre 300 RS came with razor 16 Guage what's the ice code difference, I would like to try more Tecnifibre strings out
Have you tried Tecnifibre red code out
@@andyv6299 tried pro red code wax. It was not as good as Ice or Black Code 4s.
@@bigdaddy812 that's a shame I wanted to get a red string, I don't mind the white look also
Poly Tour Rev is so underated... Plays great 10h before tension loss... The best yonex string.... Second is Strike... PolyTour Pro is too plastic feel...
Unpopular opinion: The very BEST string on the market (Price-quality ratio) is the Pro's Pro Blackout. Costs £25 in the UK for 200m reel and is as good as Black Code or RPM.
Luxilon alu power rough? 1,25 for vcore 100 2023? Or volk cyclone, thanks!!!!
I like Poly Tour Rev in that racquet
Have you ever used prokennex strings?
I have not!
How about Wilson Revolve?
I still love Dunlop Black Widow. Also, Confidential.
Who are the most conservative tennis players in equipment?
You forget my gold standart, Signum Pro Poly Plasma 1,23 or 1,18...what about this classic???😮😮
Never tried it!
the signum plasma HEXtreme is probably the best (shaped) poly out there... great feel, excelent control and spin
Can't stand Hyper G, but love Confidential. Lynx Tour is also nice (agree Champagne is best). For budget, you can't go wrong with Kirschbaum Super Smash Orange 1.23
Confidential is just slightly harder. but it's about the same in playability. saying "can't stand" is a bit of rough statement when there's no much difference. you might like it with few pounds or kg more in tension. in the stiffness order from soft to hard it's: Hyper G > confidential > Tour Bite > Revolution.
I use some cheap ass TAAN 5600, I prefer it to hyper-g...
Can't be dealing with poly. Plays well for about an hour then it's rubbish. I just stick with full synthetic gut 16 gauge in an 18x20 pattern. In summer do natural gut mains syn gut crosses.
they have a break in period dude. i personally do some wall shots for half an hour to break them in and then i go play. to play them fresh you have to be a pro and sponsored. but if you do like i do, it's stable for few weeks. 1.25 thickness at 24kg tension. ends up at 23kg stable.
Im all about tour bite 1.25
Did you try Ytex Strings ?
Quadro Twist is one of my favorites. Soft for a poly. Holds tension well for a poly. And best of all - awesome spin!
I'm playing with Ytex in a few weeks! Can't wait!
