    Wasabi pro hybrid is great. Made the switch from confidential in my pure aero. Not the best feel and that’s its biggest weakness, but it’s very comfortable and much easier on the arm. Tons of spin, though that’s a bit overhyped imo (comparable spin to confidential)

    Wonderful review! 👏🏿 🙌🏿
    Wolfy managed to acquire a reel of Zero 17, and is testing it out against personal favourite, Hexa Infinite 17 from Genesis. Personal weapon is one of the stiffest frames on market, Dunlop’s FX500 (2020), with an RA rating of 71. Used as mains paired with ultra thin poly Hexonic 1.09, and tensioned at 42 lbs(m)/44 lbs (c), the two are comparable in spin and control, but the Hexa Infinite provides a little more power, while the Zero is a bit more durable. After two months and two string jobs with each combination, the Zero is a great string, but the Hexa Infinite is still Wolfy’s favourite. Thinking the some of the bigger hitting high schoolers would love Zero.

      @Golikov_ 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I string wasabi pro hybrid 21/22 kg in my 93icn head prestige mid. Very good filing, spin and comfort. I think toro toro would be +- comfortable and this tension.

      I am new to the Toroline world. I use Caviar for my Pure Strike VS and K Pro for my Pure Strike 16x20.
      The Caviar was kind of dead after a couple hours of hard hitting.
      How do you guys ranking:
      Toro Toro full bed
      K Pro hybrid
      K Pop hybrid (the color is really catchy in Pure Strike VS imo)
      Wasabi Pro hybrid

    @xRickstaCx 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    My favorite all time poly is Alu Power but it goes dead way too fast. Grapplesnake Tour M8 gives me like 90% of its playability but lasts 2-3x longer. You guys should definitely give it a try for your next playtest! Not a huge fan of Zero's muted feel but appreciate its longevity/snapback so I think it's the best cross string for a poly main with better feel. After testing many cross strings for Gut/multi, Ghostwire and Irukandji are probably my favorite. I think you guys would love it too if you gave them a shot!

    • @georgioslachanas5379

      Tried irukandji with babolat xalt (multi)..difficult for my stringer..many spots where irukandji didn't "sit" with flat surface against the multi mains...also ,restring zero 1.28 crosses with 1.30 xalt mains and xalt mains already notched during stringing!Hope zero 1.23 cross does better with poly mains

    • @xRickstaCx
      @xRickstaCx 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@georgioslachanas5379 I'm good friends with my stringer and he told me the same about Irukandji. He had to put some small indents in the string to make it work but the string does play amazing especially in a gut hybrid. I slightly prefer Ghostwire over Irukandji for its softer feel but in terms of durability, Irukandji can make the guts/multis last much longer due to its flat/oval shape.

    @radshet3830 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I like your string breakdown. I may give restring zero a trial…. Currently my favorite hybrid is 16g tecnifibre 4S crossed with 18g razer code soft. 4s is a stiff string so I used 4 pounds less tension on both mains and crosses. It holds tension better than lux 4g and has as much spin as wasabi. The feel though is much nicer. If you run out of strings to try give this a go. Used in a speed MP.

    would love to see a test of reString ZERO in hybrid combination with reString SYNC... also with different tensions? 23/24, 25/26... compared to a full bed 24 or 25? souldn't this be the perfect combination?
    As you mentioned in your review of ZERO, a tension above 26 does probably not make sense... any followup on this one also regarding the durability?
    Looking forward to see your next review!

    Restring Zero is my favourite as well.
    All I need to do is shut down my head and just rip the ball.
    Thanks to the spin it will most likely land inside the lines. With as much pace as I could probably desire.

  • @patric_noble_man
    @patric_noble_man 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Can you give me an advice for my next string. I play a Head Extreme Tour Auxetic, strung with head lynx tour at 23kg. I want a little bit more power. I love a stiffer stribg because the racket itself is already pretty „soft“ i tried poly tour pro but it was too soft for me. Thanks

    • @ph-tennis
      @ph-tennis  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Interesting - I would say that most players would enjoy PTP over Lynx Tour.
      Have you tried 4G Soft. It’s soft in the name, but not really soft in comparison to those strings!
      In Toroline, maybe Wasabi would be a good option for you to try.
      God I love that Extreme Auxetic… enjoy your search for tennis perfection!

      I don´t like multis, they are way too powerful for me.
      Maybe when I´m 80 years old or something in that realm.
      But if you need an advice: Zero is shaped. I guess it can peel off a multi really fast. So the multi should be coated with TPU as well.

    I've been playing Yonex Poly Tour Pro for years and love the overall performance of power, spin, and comfort... tho tension loss is too quick. But I recently tried another string from Japan in my Yonex Percept 100 that has replaced PTP for me... Gosen G-Tour3, and also the Spin3. They play remarkably like PTP in all aspects but at about half the price. Friends' racquets I put it in have felt the same about it. A real sleeper quality-value string. If someone told me it was made in the same factory to the same specs I wouldn't doubt it. Also played in a demo EZONE 98 with equal satisfaction. btw... I have the Restring Zero in my VCORE PRO 100 and I prefer the current set up better.

    • @w1nd0w3
      @w1nd0w3 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      How is the ball bite with the Gosen Spin3? I am interested in trying different shaped polys that grab the ball and are crisper than Wasabi. I use Volkl VSquare which for the most part gives me what I want. Also do you do full bed or hybrid?

    • @gofish721
      @gofish721 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @w1nd0w3 how much spin one gets is way more relative to technique so it's hard for me to properly relate our spin potentials with any certainty. I put the Spin3 in an EZONE 98 and for me it had plenty of spin and power comparable to Head Lynx Tour for example. As I mentioned, it plays so similar to yonex PTP and that includes the spin version, tho this is not quite a stiff. Also, I used Volkl V-torque for a while and that produced good spin for me as a comparison. If you want a square string that has excellent spin but also great tension maintenance, check out Ytex Quadro!

It’s absolutely mind blowing just how good this string is, it’s very responsive doing a lot of the work for u, arm friendly and being reasonably priced I bought 200m just for myself. It’s been around since the 90’s, but came across it by chance. Chaps name who sold it too me through his description is called Nikola Aracic of Intuitive Tennis, definitely worth a watch 👀💯

      I actually think it’s more credible that they chose strings that people can easily buy online at discount (versus full price at their store) and that don’t have ATP top pro endorsement. I agree Zero is too muted on certain racquets but the feel is quite good when hitting hard (providing a uniquely satisfying metallic pop) or at low tension. While I’m personally using Toroline strings at the moment, I will definitely reconsider Zero when Restring’s new cross string comes out, especially if it adds some crispness.
