I’m wondering how this compares to the other strings that tecnifibre makes, like x-one biphase, specifically in terms of which one is closer to a natural gut feel? Biphase tends to be praised as the closest synthetic to natural gut. I wonder how triax compares
I totally agree it’s the best gut alike string in a full bed that I have tried. I would say that the stringing should be done depending on the weight of the racquet.
They feel super plush and comfortable but I got only 8 60 minute hitting sessions before they broke. Kind of an expensive proposition. Sticking to Proline II rough. They last 3 to 4 times as long. I may try them in a hybrid if the price improves
i noticed that in his previous video, about overanalyzing racket specs, so that's how new pro staff line will look like. 😁 I'm very curious to know will they make any technical updates.
Great review. I would like to ask how does the Triax compare to the x-one biphase, NRG2 and Babolat xcel overall? I am looking for a good multifilament to string in my mains with a co-poly in the crosses.
Tried the very expensive Tecnifibre HDMX before which is a poly multifilament and looks like it's made exactly same as Triax. This is just a cheaper version of HDMX. Frankly, I wasn't impressed at all by HDMX but felt it was slightly better than Lux Element but prohibitively expensive. I'm definitely not buying into this hype. Been burnt already.
Is it a good replacement if you usually use a hybrid of a multi filament mains and poly cross? I often break strings but I need a really good crisp feel (needs to be somewhat low powered)
hi steven. I just strung it up in my Pure Aero in a hybrid with RPM Blast and the setup is quite lively. If you're looking for extra control and durability, I'd say use a thick gauge and string it tight.
I am a tennis coach in Helsinki, Finland. I have Triax in one of my Babolat Pure Strike 16 x 19. I have the mains at 24kgs... the cross at 22.5 kegs. I teach between 25 to 30 hours a week. I have been able to hit with my high level students and have come to the following conclusions.... A) Super arm friendly with a gut like feel B) Good spin potential.... almost as good as a “rough” poly string C) I will string my racquet a little tighter next time because my flat serves were a little long. SPIN SERVES ARE AMAZING WITH TRIAX!! D) Tension maintenance seems okay so far E) No vibration dampener needed! A PERFECT STRING FOR TENNIS COACHES AND ANYONE WHO IS SEEKING AN ELBOW FRIENDLY STRING! I will ultimately hybrid with Babolat Origin 🎾
Wow great to hear all these good points. I was sitting on the fence but not any longer. I've got a short swing so yes need power but feel and control as well? I'll try it two glowing reviews cant be all bad. Thank you for posting 👋👍
Rich Ireland.... you might want to check out TENNISNERD’s part 1 review of Triax as well. Nothing against Harry’s reviews but TENNISNERD goes more in depth and has a higher level of understanding in racquet mechanics. I have videos of me hitting on my Instagram “loveableskibum” so feel free to check those out if you like. I plan on doing my own review of Triax for my RU-vid channel in the future.
I ordered it from online store strung at 52, when it came in about 6 days according to Tourna string tension meter it was already 46 and it feels like a bit loose. It’s been little more then one month already and I am going to measure once again soon
@@villiam7941 I had the same exact experience. Strung at 54, and without even playing the tension dropped to mid-forties within a week. Played once. It is at mid 30s now after about three months of sitting in a frame and without playing.
Hello, greetings from France; please, while you comment products, give us tension in Kg as well, i am a french follower and that would be highly appreciating for a better understanding, thank you for your consideration, keep going like this on your vids, i like it !
I am not quite sure what they were thinking with Triax following so closely on HDMX (another poly-based multi... the ostensible replacement of the HDX Tour). TF has some issue with marketing, and I think it shows from the fact that power was the first thing you talked about, but then note that it's nowhere on the packaging. They are keeping the "HD" moniker around, but not for Triax? I guess it's not engineered with "HD" tech, whatever that is?? If you want my honest take on it, TF just said, hey, let's hit 3 price points... we'll sell this Duramix thing as an "economy" string at 200 Eur / reel, we can sell Triax at 300 Eur / reel, and let's plop this HDMX at 250 Eur / reel. I ask you, look at this video clip... facebook.com/watch/?v=656443724840044&extid=xFa0agc5z4LBY39x ... and tell me what name you might pick to describe the geometry... tell me you think "tri" something, as in "Tri-ax", 3-axis of symetry, etc.! But look again, because that video is not for Traix, it's for HDMX,. Maybe they just ran out of their HDX Tour stock sooner than expected and said, hey, we have to launch the first one with an "HDX" name? Who knows... but it don't make sense to me. One thing you don't discuss is how the surface of the string feels when you are working on the string job. I found that HDX tour was kinda gummy, in contrast to another poly-based multi, the Dunlop Pearl, which was on the slick side. When I was stringing Ice Code recently, I thought of Pearl (now discontinued), which had to be strung north of 55 if you didn't want your strings to be moving all over the place. Does this Triax have a "rough" / gummy outer jacket, or does it feel like the same coatings TF is currently using for their Ice Code? Just curious.
I strung mine at 55lbs but I think it will still play well when the tension drops some but I take a big swing and prefer my tension (in poly string) to be above 50lbs.
Loved the soft/crisp and plush playability of this multi. It’s also durable. Feel is great. My main issue was that i found it low powered and i would like a little bit more easy spin. Hands down best multi i ve ever tested.
I am asking for advice. I'm a relative beginner. I bought a Head Extreme MP racquet that says they recommend HEAD SONIC PRO strings at a stated optimum tension of 57 +/-5 lbs. I bought a Triax - 17/1.28, but I can't find a recommended voltage anywhere. I see you have experience with Technifiber Triax, please recommend lbs to get the most out of its features. 2. Is it necessary (is it better) if the horizontal and vertical strings are of different tension? Thanks!
Thank you for your new video. I am currently using either fullbed blackcode (strung from 38 to 40lbs), bi-phase fullbed (strung from 50 to 52lbs) or hybrid of both but I could feel that Triax fullbed (string at 46lbs) was a great option after a brief trial. No need to care about racket deformation like Hybrid. I agree that Triax is somehow close to natural gut feel. I bought a 200m reel without hesitation.
looked like Coach Rob was holding the new 2020 ProStaff! You can see the retro lines on the sides next to PRO STAFF 3:20. It's a call back to the ProStaffs of the naughties. Release is imminent I hear.
If you watch his video posted this past Friday or Saturday, the one about over analyzing your equipment, you see it at the start of that video and he picks it up and puts it in front of camera a couple times during that video.
Luxilon element loses tension totally in 8 hours max. triax I’m not sure what to make of it. Hit hard like a poly and I don’t get enough spin like a poly. Hit flat and it’s not as powerful as gut. I guess it’s really in between. It’s better than hybrid, hybrid really doesn’t work for me.
So this is better than the other one from a month ago? ^_^ The Ytex string? Polyamides (poly - amide) are a family of plastics - nylons are polyamides. Polyesters are another family of plastics - mylar and PET (what they use in 2 liter pop bottles) are polyesters. Both are known for toughness and (for nylon) elasticity. I'd guess PU is polyurethane, no idea what SPL would be. Given what you've said about natural gut strings in other videos, it sounds like this is a slam dunk. Wonder why "synthetic gut" strings are the cheapest string available - aren't those supposed to approximate natural gut?
It's a multifilament, kind of like X-One except it's got poly fibers instead of a poly coating. Might be decent in a hybrid, but multi is way too powerful for me and this shit is seriously overpriced especially since it's 50 percent nylon.
i like your enthusiasm but you are not telling me how it compares to similar strings from other brands. is this a new category? I wish i saw this video yesterday before ordering a few sets natural gut and ashway mono gut zx. I will give it a try thanks next time
I tried TGV on Babolat Aero (Decima) last year and had to cut it after two games. Horrible control - like flipping a coin is more predictable; when hitting the ball the string was making a nasty sound, the vibrations were like giving resonance, speading throughout the entire racquet and the feeling was quite odd. I am using Head RIP Control now. Is TRIAX similar or better than that one?
The string feels lively n'touchy right from the start in 1.28 mm. However, I couldn't find any added spin potential compared to other multifilaments. I played it hybrid in my PT57A (16/19) on the mains and paired it with HEAD Hawk Touch. Tension was 21/20 kgs. Well, Triax snapped after an hour of play right in the middle from a clean hit. A bit of a disappointment as I don't break strings often. Won't buy it again. Instead, I'd opt for my trusty multifilaments X-One Bi-phase and Wilson NXT Power.
What happen to the strings sets or strings reels that were purchased couple lf years ago. Did the strings lose its life time performance or quality? Thanks
In subsequent mentions be interesting to know if it frays like gut or even if it needs too? Coach from Helsinki here really liked the spin already? Thank you for video Tennis Spin, couldn't be more timely 👍🙂
Hi Tennis Spin, thanks for your review. How did you feel with this string when stringing? You are a professional stringer so it would be interesting to have your first impressions when stringing it for the first time 👍
At 5:43, he said, "that new Pro Staff." So is that the new Wilson Pro Staff 97 for 2020 that's supposed to be announced on Sept. 14? Did we just a sneak preview of it?

If you changed the string then no it wouldn’t, but you could get the racket shop to stencil the Yonex logo on for you. Or buy the stencil and paint and do it yourself
great content! I have a question, I have a vcore 98 305, I find it too stiff for me, I would like to change to ezone, do you think that's a good choice?
I experienced that issues with HDX Tour. It was like, why pay "multi" prices if it's going to need to be restrung like a poly. However, I have also a theory and that is that pre-stretch these strings causes them to break, like if you were doing that to a poly. It's just a theory based on a few anecdotal incidents.
Been having some arm issues lately, using full poly setups. So I switched to the Head Prestige Classic 600, had it strung with Tecnifibre TRIAX 1.38 in the mains, and Head Velocity MLT 1.25 in the crosses (@ ~22/23 kg). And it worked, pain is almost completely gone already. Excellent setup btw, highly recommended👌
Hi can you share what tension are you using? I love the hybrid setup- Triax 1.28 in the mains and Ice Code 1.20 but Triax broke too fast.. only after 2-3 hours. Thinking change to other poly in the cross.
@@yooyoungkim3011 This is why I chose the 1.38 gauge for the TRIAX in the mains. A bit better durability. Of course it also helps that I'm using it in a 89.5 square inch racquet with an 18x20 string pattern. It still plays beautifully btw. But I reckon a multifilament in the mains in let's say a Pure Drive won't last as long. So keep head size and string density in mind. And if you're a big topspin hitter you'll be restringing a lot more often as well. Tension: 22/23 kgs (48.5 - 50.7 lbs).
Now you are getting into uncharted territory. Varying string tension between mains and crosses is the alchemy mad tennis scientists are currently experimenting with now
@@mirthandir 55lbs, and RF97 Autograph. Still the "best" string I have used but too expensive given that for me it snapped within 1 month... Hyper G Soft 1.2 at 48lbs feels good too.
The first string type PolyAmide is pronounced like poly-AIM-I-de. Unlike polyester which is rough and dry polyamide is smooth and silky and is often used as stand-ins for wool or silk fibers (natural polyamides)
Great videos mate! Looks like you’ve added a tonne of lead tape to your clash pro 100 racket. Would love to see a full review of how you customized it, what the final weight, swing weight and balance is? Being such a popular racket of choice for many players, I’m sure others would be eager to see this video! Cheers.
