Hi, thanks for the channel, really awesome! My question is: what do you think about a hybrid between yonex poly tour fire 1.25 and Yonex rexis Comfort 1.25? A tension recommended? considering that I ussually string my racket yonex e zone 98 tour with volkl cyclone 1.25 (full bed) at 48 pounds. I wish you the best! Pablo

If you are looking to soften up the bed of a poly with a syn gut or gut, why not just pick a softer poly or use a lower stringing tension?

@silviosarunic6709 3 года назад

Its not the same in any way...

@sgarte6493 3 года назад

Is not the same, an softer poly is made for people who are searching the same spin as a poly but softer like an multifilament, an hybrid is for people who search for the spin of a poly and the power of the synthetic, multifilament or natural gut

@sgarte6493 3 года назад

And an hybrid holds better tension

@SquatLife 3 года назад

@@sgarte6493 So if you have poly mains and syn crosses, the hope is spin from the poly and power from the syn--plus some better tension retention. Why not just string the poly looser or is something else lost? I'm assuming you will be giving up tension retention, but maybe gain the power?

@Rafedavic Год назад

I use kirschbaum max power rough in my crosses with my gut mains as opposed to some of the more popular polys. Biggest reason being that it holds tension much better. I find with Alu power or rpm blast the crosses go loose rather quickly and you lose the control gained from the polly. Kirschbaum holds tension much better than other polyesters and therefore I get i much longer playability duration. A more accessible string that also holds tension well and would work similarly is lux 4g/4g rough. Tsitsipas has used gut/4g hybrid since having surgery. I find the kirschbaum to be more arm friendly while still holding the tension about as well and much more cost effective.

@ReidVV 3 года назад

Thing you do not address here string tension. Tension changes makes strings play very differently. Better strings his gut mains at 59 and his crosses berween 53 or 54. How do you like to set tensions and what are the resulting characteristics of how the racquet plays differently?

@@Unco_Drew Try head syn gut PPS 17g and gamma moto 17g. I use the syn gut in the mains because I like a softer feel, but it works great with the poly in the mains, too. The syn gut in the mains is a true poor man's Fed setup. If you break strings, switch to gamma tnt2 for the syn gut. It's more durable, but has a little less feel, imho. Tension also matters a lot. String your mains around the middle of your racquet's recommended range and the crosses 5 to 6 pounds less.

@@Unco_Drew if you think youre a string breaker it should last you at most 2 weeks before it breaks. It also depends how often you play and how long. If not then it should last you a month. I used to play with multi on main and poly on cross and that setup used to last me 2 weeks before it breaks.

@peterpenhk Год назад

IMO, for non-professionals that'd like to try natural gut, just do the full set gut and adjust the power by tuning the tension. Tried Gut/Poly hybrid before, it kind of expires after maybe 10hours of hitting, because of the imbalance in tension loss. I've even tried an extreme tension difference of 3kg/6lbs (poly being higher one), in the hope to compensate the eventual tension loss in the poly, doesn't work, poor feel at the beginning, equally poor towards the end of life. On the other hand, full set of gut is just magical on denser string pattern of 18/20, nice soft feeling with plenty of feedback, and not over-powering!

@eincan1313 3 года назад

Tried full poly, could never grow to like it. I have now settled on the best performance set-up in my opinion. VS Gut/ALU Power Soft on my VCore 95. The only issue is I break the gut main in about 5-6 hours. While it lasts though, pure heaven. One day maybe I will try a hybrid with poly mains and a soft synthetic cross. Maybe Triax or TNT as suggested. Not sure if those will allow snap back though.

This is probably the best and most concise and to the point hybrid video I have found. First hybrid string setup for me and just picked my racquet up from the shop. I went for Grapplesnake M8 Mains 56lb, and Technifiber X-One Biphase Synthetic 54lb Cross. I think I may have erred as the poly mains are not snapping back into place. Is this because the poly is octagonal and digging into the synthetic multifillament? Perhaps I should have gone for Solenco Confidential which is round poly? Any advice appreciated. 😢

@markmoore5981 Год назад

I've tried hybrids, gut, synthetic gut, poly mains, poly crosses but I always go back to a full bed of Co-Poly, I just like the harsher more impact feel a stiff Co-Poly gives. I guess it's what you like which is important. I certainly don't like a Mushy feel off the string bed but that's what I'm used to. I even found the Confidential to be a little soft for me, although it is a very good string, just not for me.

I've played tennis my whole life, but pretty much self taught. Never took the game or the equipment that seriously until this year so I'm a little bit of a newbie when it comes to picking string. I'm skilled, and probably a 4.0 at this time. I am a bigger guy and can produce power on my own so I bought more of a "pro" racket for control. What types of string/string combos should I be looking at for more control and spin? I have poly in my racket right now and am liking it, but I'm hearing it doesn't hold tension well. How often do you guys that play weekly have to restring poly? Just looking for some ideas to try out. Thanks

@Reakerboy 3 года назад

I've been playing full poly bed for many years. Depending on the Poly and how much you're playing will determine how much you need to restring. A general rule of thumb. You should restring your racket every year the same amount of time you play per week. E. G., if you play 3 times per week, then you should restring 3 times per year. I would say a good club player should be restringing at least every 3 months, no longer. Most polys drop tension but some more than others. 👍🏻

I use the new Blade 18x20 V7, I string at 48 lbs mains and crosses. If you want any stringing tips just ask away! Good luck.

What about Vanquish main and Confidential on cross?

@djreneschoo 3 года назад

I’d do Hyper G in the mains and Vanquish in the crosses. About the same softness, but more control.

@PokeMech 3 года назад

@@djreneschoo why not vanquish in the mains for comfort?

@djreneschoo 3 года назад

@@PokeMech That could also be an option, but that’s a lot softer than vanquish mains and confidential crosses

@PokeMech 3 года назад

@@djreneschoo what's the implication for softer combination?

@djreneschoo 3 года назад

It just about preference. Softer feel & less control vs more connected feel & more control

Can I do HyperG and TNT?

@jackgillet3800 3 года назад

Probably. I use hyperG and vs touch

Hybrid strings bring another level of complexity to tennis geekdom. What combination of strings gets you what characteristics? What tension on the mains vs the crosses? Madness ensues!

Tried confidential 16l mains with x one biphase crosses was very impressed .

@Qiller83 3 года назад

I use volkl cyclone 18 on mains and cheap cheap head syn gut on the cross. I now have cross on 2lb higher tension to get less pop from the syn gut. But I need to try fliping the tension around as I need It may give me more spin that way

@j_rf3038 3 года назад

Currently have Confidential 1.20 mains at 21.5kg and NRG2 1.32 crosses at 23kg in my Ultra Tour. I love the comfort and the feel for touch shots/volleys etc. What I don't like is the amount of power without being able to control it enough with spin. It's a 18x20 and the edgy mains lock into my soft crosses so there's hardly any snapback. So for next string job, I'm thinking either Confidential or Tour Bite Soft mains with slick, round Poly Tour Pro crosses. Both 1.20 gauge probably. Do you guys think this will work for upping the spin potential? Of course it will be less comfortable but still comfortable enough for me because I'll string both at low tensions and UT is a plush frame. Or do you have another idea that will have better spin potential than the Confidential/NRG2 setup I have now while still retaining a nice level of comfort?

@jlparcerisa 3 года назад

Try Revolve 17 125mm (the round black version) mains and Head PPC Syn Gut 17 crosses both at 49lbs. Cheap and very efective for 2 weeks (4 times a week frequency)

@jackgillet3800 3 года назад

I use vs touch(50crosses) and HyperG (52mains)

@silviosarunic6709 3 года назад

Natural gut Mains 27kg / Luxilon Alu Rough Crosses 25.5 kg Best of the best :)

@MrWandererql 3 года назад

I tried to cross with All power to get more durability out of the gut, but found the Alu power rough has better snap back. Going back to the rough version.
