BEST SPIN STRINGS 2024! 

SUPERB VIDEO! Lots of very useful information here. Seriously. I would almost like to see this video broken down into each category that you covered for a deeper dive separately into each sub category. That said, this is a fantastic overview. More videos like this, please.

maybe your best video yet, loved it, thank you!

I’m a former D1 player - despite the heavy marketing that people poo poo, restring zero is legit the best string I’ve ever tried. It is a uniquely good product.

thanks for sharing your research result! you save so much money for me!!

Great video, keep it up!

i get so excited for these uploads

So, this is an interesting video topic at the right time, as I am using "several" different strings and set-ups (a few mentioned in this video) to hone in on my preferred set-up that compliments my play. I realize everyone is different, but if anyone cares (Beckett/TennCom included) I'll give my 2 cents on what I've experienced with some of these strings and what I've liked best...so far. (Toroline) As much as I REALLY wanted to love these strings, I just find them too muted with not many positives besides "durability," which if you're a string breaker and are tension sensitive, it's a 10/10 in those categories. Spin/Launch angles are maybe slightly above average, but nothing special in my books. The best set-up I used (imo) was Toro Toro Main, and Wasabi X Cross (17g) which are both softer amd gave a bit more power and spin compared to the other Toroline hybrids I tried. The worst set-up I used was Wasabi Main/Wasabi X Cross, which provided zero launch angle/spin and felt super muted with a dampened feel. (Restring) I can't say I'm completely disappointed by this string as I haven't fully experiemnted with enough setups (yet) but, the other hybrid setup I'm using is Zero Main/Wasabi X Cross and this unfortunately has a result and feel in-between the Wasabi/Wasabi X, and Toro Toro/Wasabi X combos. Again durability, tension, and snapback are 10/10, but not enough of a trade-off comprimising power/spin too much. (My Current Choice) Tbh...Beckett, I'm pretty surprised this string wasn't mentioned, (maybe you've never tried it) but "Gamma Jet" (17g) for Power/Spin is just above and beyond any string I've ever used, and that's even over yTex Qudro Twist. (Any forums I've read have GJ as the GOAT for Power/Spin) The only cons I could say is that it does lose tension, not nearly as much as Lux strings and not as good as Restring/Toroline, so I would put it "middle of the pack" which is acceptable to me. The other con can be if you're a "consistent string breaker" which I can be from time to time, but once I've dropped my tension to 36lbs, I've had less issues with that. So...as it stands, my current string setup of choice is Gamma Jet (main) and Wasabi X (cross) 17g at 36lbs which I use in my Head XT Graphene MP's (Sinner Mold) and also in my Yonex Ezone 6th Gen. Would love to hear yout thoughts (TennCom, and Subs) and what strings you use for Spin/Power that's better then my choice!

Exact video I was looking! Love the recommendations. Curious to know how different is confidential vs tour m8 in terms of spin, comfort, and control/feel (volleys/approach and baseline linear placement) in smth like a ps v14 97.

Your hypothesis at 11:10 about the tradeoff of feel for snapback, and why it's so, is why I come to this channel. In tennis, everything's a tradeoff. The trick is knowing what for what.

I’m excited to try your offering! I need spin.

Since I've started using rackets with a rounder head and a larger spin window, I have found most polys to be very spin friendly. I find that makes more of an impact than which strings I use.

Any recommended strings and gauge for Speed Pro 2022? I would like some grip but not too much, good blend of power and control, and relatively soft on the arm. Thanks!

Sick video

I’ve just started using Toro Toro mains with ReString Sync crosses on my Pure Aero 98, 52 x 48lbs…. Had one hit with it and it felt great, crisp, yet lively enough, decent pop but great control, great directional control may I add… And good spin. Initially feels better than Wasabi Pro anyway. Then went and began our leagues and played 2 matches with it and won them both playing great tennis! Also…. For the first time EVER I took my vibration dampener off my strings, I’ve always played with a dampener but one of my mates told me to try without it for better feel, I couldn’t get over the ping noise before but gave it a go again…. And I’m genuinely noticing a feel of difference without it, in a good way…. And I’ve got over the ping noise. Might be an interesting concept for a video for u and maybe for others 😊👍

Hi ! Looking your videos from France for few months now, this is really cool ty Just asking but any idea what to string with a Pro Staff X if i want spin? I’m playing with full black code rn

Just getting back into Tennis after 10 years. So thanks for helping me catch up with the new tech.

Hello ! I always see your videos from Germany, good Job ! I have a question: I have a Babolat pure strike pro stock 18/20 with 67 stiffness, 324 swing weight, 324 g strung and 6 pts HL balance, strung with Poly tour rev 1.20 mm 17 G 50 Ibs full, I have also Toroline Wasabi, Wasabi Z and Restring zero. Now I would like change my setup. What do you recommend? Wasabi full? Restring Zero full? Wasabi/Wasabi X? Restring Zero/Wasabi X ? poly rev/Wasabi X ? or I stay by Poly rev full? what tension? Do I stay at 50 or go down to 48? A good control is very important to me, decent Power and Spin and crisp feel no muted . Thank you, Marwen

Great vid!I am currently playing with pure aero 98, i would like to enhance the touch and ball pocketing while keeping the spin (using head lynx tour now). What you suggest? Maybe standard lynx? (but loses tension so quick..or lynx touch or something else that suits this frame?) Many thx in adv!

Good stuff!! I'm not string breaker, and I'm keen to try the following thin gauge combos Hyper G Soft 18 mains / Hyper G round 18 cross Tour Bite Soft 18 mains / Tour Bite (regular) 20 cross what do you think?

Would you do a mix of Zero and Sync?

What’s a good alternative to my natural gut touch vs mains, rpm blast crosses? I use a gravity pro and appreciate the extra spin I get from this set up

Hello, I am French and I love your videos! I play Blade V8 100 16x19 and I'm really looking for the best possible combination! whether hybrid or full. Can you help me ? I'm looking for the best of everything in control sensation effect and which remains comfortable. I am waiting for your return and to know which rope I put in the uprights or the crosses and the tension please 🙏

Great video as always ! I use tour bite soft which is good for my arms. However, tension maintenance isn’t that great. Any alternatives or recommendations pls? Thank you!

Very informative video. I’m surprised you haven’t mentioned any Tecnifibre strings - especially Razor Code Soft (Mevedev’s string). It plays like a softer confidential, a fraction less spinny but with more feel. My fave string atm

Love the shirt! Where can I get one?

How does Lynx touch compare to other soft polys like polytour pro?

Great content. Subbed! You've helped me realise I need to move on from using RPM blast. I'm about to trial the Restring Zero and Hyper G. Don't suppose you could recommend a racket swap for me too? I'm currently using a Volkl C10 pro (which I really like) but I think I'd like to try something with more spin/power potential, that still has good control. I was watching your Prostaff v14 review, and that looks really promising. I'm still unsure though, and any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I play with heavy topspin, but I do like heavy rackets, and apparently the classic feel of the C10. I'm all over the place. Thanks!

Great video 👏. I'm curious to hear your take on someone using Percept 97d strung with restring 0 Caviar mains, as opposed to a full bed M8 or Tour Sniper. 54/52 tension

Hey Beckett, I think I remember seeing you play for UVIC while I was competing with SFU Tennis. Just wanted to say great job producing excellent tennis content. Keep up the great work. I just started posting my own content and I’m hoping to be another successful BC born tennis channel. Cheers

I got to string and hit Confidential with Grapplesnake Irukandji in my Vcore 95D yesterday. Very happy with this combination, but I need to try some Restring Zero in the cross of Confidential (My normal string of choice) or maybe the Tourna Silver 7 in the mains!

hi where do I find that database of strings characteristics shown in this video (listed a sergetti, but I don't see it on their website) THANKS

Hi Beckett. Love your videos. Could you help with suggestions for strings that work well with CX200?.

What do you think about restring zero in the mains with wasabi x in the crosses on a pro staff 97 v13? :)

Any advice on upgrading my string setup. I’m currently using a lynx tour/mlt velocity hybrid. Haven’t experimented much. Control is a priority of mine but looking for something with a little more power without sacrificing too much of the control.

Thank you for the video. I have a Wilson Pro Staff v13 RF 97 340gr. I like to play with lot of spin and power, wich combination of strings do you recomend to me? I don’t want to add more weigh to the racket. Right now I’m using Babolat RPM Blast 17 on mains and Wilson Sensation Control 16 on crosses

Just curious... Wouldn't it be better to put the shaped poly in the mains and a slick rounded poly in the crosses? Since the racquet is on it's side for forehand and backhands, you'd want the bitey string on the mains, right? Like Zero on the mains and Sync in the crosses? Thoughts? Anyone tried that setup?

I love snapper. Its not inherently a spin string but I love it. Put it in my head speed mp after having head hawk in it. I don't want to go back

I use full bed of Solinco Confidential and have been enjoying it but have been considering hybriding it with a smooth poly in the cross, have you tried this and do you have a recommendation for a poly cross string?

Best pair for speed MP 2024 and the tension too? I like hitting at baseline. Strung with razor soft 52/50. Thank you

Hi Becket ! Rn I'm using Hyper G Soft 1.20mm in my Gravity Pro. Do you have better alternative? I prefer soft poly, good bite, & 1.2gauge to open up the string bed. Thanks

Do you have insight about Solinco hybrid Outlast-ProStacked? Is it low powered but with decent spin and great feel?

At 7:33, you show some data from Sergetti on string stiffness. I can't find that data on Sergetti's website - can you please tell us where it is available? Thanks.

Do you think Sync in the crosses of a Square-X-Sharp Main would help tame the launch angle?

hi beckett. could you help with suggestions fot strings that work well with fx500?

I play a full bed of Tour M8 now. Do you see any benefit to using sync as a cross with it?

Hey! Considering that the m8 is somewhat similar to the sync, would it work in a hybrid setup together with the tour sniper?

Can you extend a bit comparing Confidential and TBDR? Would you recommend TB in a hybrid to give a bit more stiff feel if used with a Multi cross? I play with the strike VS and currently running out of my Confidential reel and want something similar in terms of feel but better if thats possible. Thanks

Weiss cannon ultra cable?

What is your favorite cross to a silver 7 tour main in a blade 98 v9 16x19? Was thinking of putting in sync in the cross.

What strings do you think would pair the best with the new pure aero 100? Im looking for something with a medium launch angle and great control and feel

As a flat ball striker I experience the most spin for my 93P and prior stick PB 10 mid is WC Ultra Cable followed by Volkl V-Square.

Great video! Could you review Tecnifibre's PolyFusion strings (Triax, HDMX, Duramix)? They look interesting, but there aren't many reviews out there. 😄

Hey Tenn, how does restringZero compare to Tour m8? And which one do you like better

I love full-bed Zero. It was definitely something different and lasted so long. But when I tried Hyper-G 17 mains and Zero crosses, I hated it. It felt like Zero was locking up the stringbed. The snapback just wasn’t the same. The feel was very muted too. I’m trying to get a less muted feel with Zero involved and from the video sounds like ST7 or Cavier might be something I should try. I’m more intrigued about Cavier mains since I love a poly that has a great pocketing feel. Would it be ideal to try the 1.24 gauge since Zero is 1.23?

do you have any recommendation for strings for lite racquets specifically? use a aero pro drive lite 1pt HL. kind of a flat hitter but can hit with spin when necessary with an attacking game

Great video ! I used hyper g 18g on my pure aero team at 52/50 that was nice and i like the spin and ball pocketing but the tension loss was really fast, and then try other things based on my stringer rpm blast 52/50 too harsh on my arm and low powered, and then wasabi 50/48 but i dont see the bite and comfort like in hyper g, i think it was good for control like you've said? The spin not even better than hyper g Any suggestion for my next experiment Really like the hyper g 18g at 52/50, but not happy by stringing every 2-3 weeks Thanks ! 13:00

Trout Lake, Kaslo... Reppin East Van nicely Beckett

Best pair for speed MP 2024? I like hitting at baseline. Just strung with razor soft 52/50. Thank you

I've been using tour bite in my Vcore 98 2023. It's important to me to use strings with a connected feel, as my Vcore tends to be pretty muted. I like the way tour bite feels, but I haven't found the tension maintenance to be great. I'm concerned confidential or tour sniper will be too muted. I also don't want to compromise too much on spin. Any thoughts?

i know this isn't exactly related to the video but i was just curious what you're using in the back of your videos lol. and i might give hyperg soft a try since i currently use normal hyperg

I know that there is already a comparison between m8 and sync, but could you give me your opinion on those two plus adrenaline? I currently use adrenaline in my blade pro 18x20 but am interested in both and was wondering what you thought the differences were before I go ahead and try some.

Would hyper g soft suit 2024 PureStrike 98 16*19?

Playing with the Pure Aero 98 because claycourt season starts so I need spin potential. Would you recommend Tourbite, Confidential, Head Lynx Tour, RPM or Alu Power? Or is Tour M8 or Restring Zero still the best? 👌

hey becket. what would you recommend for an ezone 100?

I either tourna big hitter 7 tour or hyper g. Do you think a hybrid would work well or should i combine either of the two with zero? vcore 98 2021

what's the best spin string to accentuate spin as a cross with natural gut in the main?

salut d un frenchie! Yesterday i was in a tennis shop, and i saw they had tour sniper... I was thinking of beckett so i had to test it, the stringer give me the racket today and i trained with coach...first impression ...amazing ( i m looking for the best string setup for my tour 100p 100inch 18*20)...the feel and the consistency is so so good...to me i would say this string is very Natural, i felt directly at home. Previously i used confidential..to my taste tour sniper is far better, on my other racquer i have technifibre 4s that i like too for the spin , comfort , tension maintenance, power (or lack of power..) but the feel is ok-ish especially when volleying i m not very connected....i only played one hour and it was only training so i need to see if on competitive point this string is good, and if the tension maintenance is a good as 4s or 4g but the question for one million dollar which string has the same feel as tour sniper ,the same tension maintenance as 4g and maybe 5/10 pourcent more spin than sniper with the same launch angle as the the tour sniper? (In the store they also had game changer but they told me that after 4hours the playability is dropping..for pro player is not a problem...for my wallet it is)

Thoughts on a sync and zero hybrid?

What pairing would you recommend for the radical which offers good spin and feel

Was that a hybrid of ytex square x sharp and resync zero? If so, how did that play?

I normally use Head Velocity MLT. Are Restring Zero or Grapplesnake M8 much stiffer?

No mention of any Volkl string feels like it's missing something. V-Square and V-Torque Tour are great for spin. Cyclone at 19g or Cyclone Tour are awesome too.

I’m curious about what the differences are between shaped strings. For example what are the differences between a square vs hexagonal vs octagonal string? Would more sides make it closer to a round string or does it have more grip than a 4 sided string?

I'm confused, Ive tried a lot of these strings upon your suggestions, and other youtubers as well, and 95% of the time my experience matched the description... except when it comes to ReString Zero, I just couldn't use it, it wasn't stiff but it felt tight and uncomfortable. Perhaps my Ez98 has too tight string pattern, idk. But for me string movement has become the key, so slick square (Gamechanger or Wasabi pink) plus round slick in the corsses (WasX) is the only recipe that has worked for me. Thanks!

What about RPM blast ? I use it still and I think it’s a great string, although not very user friendly if you use a full bed.

If anyone knows, does restring zero have better tension maintenance than solinco confidential?

I've heard restring is pretty firm. how does it perform with a soft poly on the crosses?

What tension do you think is good for zero on the crosses? 🤔

Any experience with Mayami strings? Thanks in advance

Have you tested Volkl 🤔 Power/Comfort: Volkl Cyclone Tour 18/1.20 String Red, $8.99 (my cross string of choice) Ultimate Spin: Volkl V-Square 16/1.30 String, $10.99

What do you think would be a good pair for the pure aero Rafa racquet

It's all about a head racket swing speed , ask guys who play with vs gut on mains

I have Tried many Strings Restring 0 is the Best so far

Whats a good pairing with head radical?

I don't need spin strings.. I need that shirt though!

What do you think the best cross string for gut mains? I recently switched to gut/poly hybrid, but am missing the spin production I got with a full bed of poly.

I like Vokyl Cyclone and Cyclone Tour

How would you compare RPM Rough to Toro Toro?

Missed out on the massive spin potential from Kirschbaum Black Shark

You don't mention the weight of the strings. Why?

I strung my vcore 100 zero mains, lynx tour crosses, the worst string set up I had on this racket ever. It's extremely lively but muted at the same time. Totally disconnected from the ball, slices floating 6 meters over the net, and spin is no where near as good as confidential or ytex q twist. I actually forgot how dodgy lynx tour was but zero is also a let down due to sleek coating and super muted feel.

Great video as always. Completely agree with everything you said but I find restring zero offers more control than wasabi. Wasabi feels livelier for me.

how about dunlop black widow?

Not sure how you can do a "spin" video without mentioning Weisscanon Ultra Cable or even Volkl V Square.
