SOLINCO HYPER G SOFT TENNIS STRING REVIEW 

Try this setup...it's what I use. Solinco Hyper-G Soft 17 in the Mains at 51 pounds and Dunlop S-Gut 17 (blue) in the crosses at 56 pounds. I'm a senior player...and this combination allows me to hit out and still keep the ball in the court and it's very responsive during volleying. Why did I choose Dunlop's S-Gut as crosses? I had tried Dunlop's S-Gut in the mains and crosses for a while and while I liked the feel, but they were too powerful and moved a lot causing broken strings from sliding them back into place, so I thought they might be a good choice for a softer hybrid setup...and it worked out. I added Hyper-G and crossed with Dunlop's S-Gut stings and surprisingly it has worked out rather well. My string bed is now stable...no movement. My new hybrid setup has a very nice feel, not to mention that it looks nice in your racquet. BTW...I'm using Babolat's 2015 Aero Pro 100 inch frame. So, string according to your racquet and playing style. If you're a higher level more energetic player...you may want string tighter or use something other than Dunlop S-Gut in the crosses. And try adjusting the string tension until it suits your style and arm comfort. I have no arm issues with this setup. (I once had to take off a year with a bad case of tennis elbow. Consequently, I've tried a lot of different strings and setups...and I find the above one of my favorites...if not my favorite. It's really allowed me to pickup my game and take it to the next level.) Hope this helps.

What did you string it at? I used RPM Blast. Sometimes a hybrid with Luxilon ALU Power and Gamma Professional. I find Hyper G to be easy on the arm for a poly. I remember a dozen years ago getting a reel of a poly at a low price and put it on several student's racquets. A few days later I cut them all off and restrung them. I gave the reel to a stranger who actually loved that string. After that I always hit with a string before putting it on someone else's racquet.

Then you haven’t tried Volkl Cyclone

@@imateapot51 around 48lbs, I think

@@2ndAveScents Indeed, I tend to stay away from shaped strings

@@msalvs has nothing to do with the shape, it’s the formula. There are plenty of shaped strings that don’t feel like wire lol. I like Head Lynx Tour and Edge, Alu Power Spin, Tour Bite, Oehms Alu Pearl. You might like Solinco Confidential for something that feels the opposite of Hyper G for example. Tourna Big Hitter series, Quadro Twist, Ultra Cable, all have decent feel compared to Volkl Cyclone. I’ve ordered the tour version to see if it’s less wiry feeling.

1.25

alu power or 4g will do the job, better for the gut to not be in hybrid with a shaped poly, even though it has not the worst shaped edges. Still works of course though.

It's beyond me why would anyone ever put a shaped string in the crosses, especially with gut mains.

@@msalvs True but we all can't know it all every time ;)

@@msalvs yep the point was to check if the strings were not shaped with the NG

I tore a soft string to shreds and learned never to hybrid Hyper G. Same with ALU Rough but Federer does not seem to mind.

P T T I totally agree with you. I have been at 40Ibs for about almost 2 years now. I have been playing my best tennis ever. Do you recommend trying to go at low as 30Ibs? How did you like 30Ilbs vs 40Ibs? 4.5 player btw.

@@austinkim7124 Glad to hear! Can't argue with success! I haven't done 40 lbs. I tried 47 lbs. and it was not any better than my old 52 lbs. If you can find a way to string your own racquets it will make it easier and more fun to try out your favorite string at different tensions. You are probably like me in that we want the set up that makes us feel like we can smack the crap out of the ball! Even If you can't string your own, I would try minimum of 5 lb increments. Update: clash 100 tour with tour bite diamond rough at 40lbs and Clash 100 tour with Confidential at 40 lbs. Love them both. I could not hit short target whip shots at 30lbs but baseline accuracy was good. now I can do both Confidential is ripping the felt off the ball!

I string 20kg on the mains and 18 kgs on the crosses.

Dead dead

I highly recommend you try MSV Hex Focus +38 / 16gauge at 54lbs....

Love Ultra Cable.

@@kyzersoze.musicology will give those a go thanks!

@Y wasn’t a massive fan of the Hyper G’s, prefer the Ultra cables but they do feel a bit lifeless sometimes....maybe I have them strung too tight at 56lbs in my Pure Aero VS.

Solinco confidential at 60 pounds bro

@@thequestion2056 sorry bro last time he send me a dm an said that he plays Hyper G

@@thequestion2056 fr wow🤐

Thickness... Higher number thinner 17, 18 = better feel but less durability. The opposite also applies for 15, 16, less feel, more durability.

Tour Bite Soft 17 is a good one too. It is thinner 1.2 mm compared to Hyper G Soft 16L which is 1.25. It is also a tad stiffer 186 lb/in compared to172 lb/in. Bite has a bit more spin potential. Both have tension loss of 29%.

I would not recommend poly strings for children and young teens to avoid damaging their arms. Multifilaments, natural gut or nylon

Yes, audio is so low

The audio is fine, relax.

@@theolizotte5919 Shut up fool! I'm not the only one who can't hear the sound.

Subtitles work pretty well. Cranked on my phone just is adequate.

Use headphones.

Haven't played with it, but I will give it a shot. I switched from Solinco Confidential 16L to Luxilon 4g and Luxilon has far better touch, and better pocketing. Play both at 49 in a Clash 98.

how are you this funny?

Yes

@@brianchia thanks. I'm not a fan of shaped polys. Do you know any budget friendly strings similar to alu power?

@@vanshagarwal2362 Kirschbaum Max Power

@@vanshagarwal2362 kirschbaum competition is a nice round poly, pretty similar to alu power i think, not as crisp perhaps

@@brianchia thanks for the suggestion.

Maybe huiré g 17 would be better for the pure aero

Hyper g 17 I meant

I LOVE my Gamma Electric X-stringer. (Blue one same as Frisco Tennis). Very solid, well built. about $1400. No problems or issues. If that's too pricey, start with a Gamma that you can add the electric part latter. Stringing my own has helped my game more than anything! Lots of people are playing with the racquet they were handed and have no idea what different tensions would do. Getting the right tension is more important than the string, IMO.
