These are my TOP 5 Favourite Tennis Strings | Rackets & Runners 

Your storytelling and pace is just so good. Always a pleasure to watch these reviews

Funny and nice seeing the same rallies with Beckett but from the other side 😀

great video! Probably the best tennischannel on this platform right now. Have you tried restring zero before?

Definitely would love to see a video on racquet and string pairs

My favorite setup in my Head Prestige Pro (2021) is Head Lynx Tour (champagne) and (any) gut. Magic.

Great content Luca! What is your go to gauge for your strings?!

Great video like always 👏

I have rpm rough in my prostaff 97 v13 and I love it. I have it in orange and it looks really cool

Would love to see a racket and string combo series

Great vid. Would be good to get a future video of polys that have the best tension maintenance. I think tension maintenance is an under-rated spec for rec players who don’t have time to get thier racquets restrung constantly. I know guts and multis are much better in this area, but I’d still like a vid on polys

“Yes” to the racket + string combo review

Great video luca! Plz do make more string vids. I was wondering what your opinion on grapplesnake strings is/if you could review them for us:)

My Vcore Pro 97D has a full bed Wilson natural gut and I love it. Tension 58lb. Spin is not bad at all. The path of the swing defines the spin more than anything else.

Tried today Alu rough on head Boom pro ... Loving it

I like Luxilon Gut + 4G Soft. Crisp, control orientated with decent power and spin. Good feel, directionally super precise. Much better tension maintenance compared to Alu Power. Massively underrated (only because its a bit expensive).

Thank you Luca for making a video on strings this is exactly what we need super honest and real opinions!!! Great vid as always 🤌

Ok. Mate you are great. You are so spot on. I have the same specific feel with wasabi. I don’t like shaped strings in general but wasabi despite being shaped it plays closer to a soft round string. It’s very smooth on contact. It’s not aggressive on byte like those ultra shaped solinco strings…. it’s soft and plush. Despite being a little bit muted it offers great predictability and control. This string has amazed me the most from toroline and more than wasabi pro and enso pro and k pop which i didnt like it much because of its firm/stiff response. Wasabi is great. The hype is real. And i know what i am talking about cause my main string is 4G ❤

Great descriptions and content. Any thoughts on head hawk power. Love it and it gets better the more hours you put into it.

Excellent summary of your top 5, thank you. Did you test the new PS 98 16x19 with Lynx Tour? If so, assume well matched?

What is your preferred gut? How would rank Babolat vs Wilson vs Luxilon gut? I’ve tried all 3, just curious what your opinion is!

Great video!

Hey Lucas im currently using a gravity mp beefed up at 338 and i love to rip every ball Lemme know which one would you recommend me to use Currently im using lynx tour 1.30 at 54

Love lynx tour, currently comparing it to solinco revolution I have tried gut in mains with lynx tour in cross and the lynx saws into the gut to quickly, but with Alu power it lasts so much longer

Literally 10 seconds and I'm here 🔥 Let's go💪

Hi Luca. Amazing video as always. Congrats mate. Can we change de natural gut for a synthetic one with sameish results?

Thank you Luca for making this video about strings. It helps me a lot as I am still figuring which strings to try or stick to. Btw, it is not related to the video but do you have any recommendations for wide and flat feet. I try Asics Gel Resolution Wide 2E version and I still experience some discomfort in the area around the arch (middle of the foot) after 20-30 minutes of running continuously around the court.

I use Hyper G, which I do like, but you're right that it can be a bit inconsistent at time. Next I will try Hyper G regular mains / Hyper G round crosses, to see if the response is a bit more consistent.

Love my Lynx Tour-dabbled with all sorts of strings but they're just super solid. I also feel like they play decent until just before they break, which is a major perk over other strings (like HyperG and Cyclone, which get really bad well before they break). Have been enjoying messing around with hybrid setups, keeping the mains the same and going for slick and round crosses for feel and control.

I love the Head Lynx Tour, is one of my favorites strings, together with Solinco Hyper G.... the next move is to try Gut + Head Lynx Tour, and i will do that in my new Gravity Pro that's is about to arrive! Anxious about it hehe... btw, your videos are the best, keep doing this work!

I love Tourna silver 7 tour on BP. Willing to try gut in main, any suggestion for cross? Heard good comments on kirshbaum max Power. Luca as usual clear and honest reviewer.

great vid ideas les go

I wonder where you'll place Restring Sync

Thank you for a great video as always! I'm having a little dilemma regarding my new racket - I've been playing tennis for 8-9 months and a few months ago I bought Babolat Pure Aero 2023. Sometimes I really enjoy its power and spin but other times I had a feeling that maybe something with more control and feel will be better to me so I've tested out around 15 rackets this week from all brands and my favourite ones were Head Speed MP (great bh&fh, but not much power while serving), Speed Pro (great power at serving but couldn't control my bh&fhs like with the MP, my groundstokes basically couln't stop flying and kept ending up way behind the line), Gravity MP (I really liked that one too, it has more power while serving but I liked bh&fhs more with Speed) Gravity Tour (I liked the MP more) and Pure Drive 98 (great bh&fh, no power while serving). So actually today I've already purchased Speed MP Legend as I really enjoyed playing forehands and backhand using it but I would love it to have more power while serving like Speed Pro or my Aero 100 2023. Could you recommend any string from whatever manufacturer that would increase the power on serves without loosing control and feel on bh&fhs? And not sure if it's wise but maybe I'll also buy the Gravity MP as it was very close to Speed MP, I definitely liked serves using it more that with Speed, and if I decided to buy it too - do you think if I customize it to make it eg. 10g heavier would that make forehands and backhands as good as with Speed MP + with that additional power on serves? Thanks in advance for your help :)

I love lynx tour! I string it at 45lbs it's not super harsh on the arms and last FOREVER (2-3 months vs 3 weeks for some polys) Have you tried YTex Quadro? I had it for a few hours and it was like a soft RPM Blast with more longevity. Crazy spin on the serves.

Thank you Luca. Could you compare gut mains and gut crosses what is the difference (tension maintnance . snap back etc.)

Luca, great review. I agree with you with Gut/Poly. What tension do you use? When I used 98inch I used to have 53 gut mains and 50 poly cross. With all those setups whats the tension for your sticks? do you use dynamic tension? Also how will you get close to Gut/Poly with Multi/Poly or Synth Gut/Poly? Actually that will be a good video to do... with hybrid setup.

Ah, natural gut and Alu rough, the Federer and Djokovic set up! You’re in good company. What polly would you suggest to pair with Alu rough in a radical mp? Also, definitely yes to the racket string pair video!! Include the radical mp on that list.

Great video!!! my go to is natural gut mains with 4g soft crosses at 25-24kg. I would love to hear your thoughts if you get to try this setup. 😊

Have you played with MSV focus hex. They are my personal favourite but im curious how they measure up to other co poly strings like 4Gs.

So about how long can you play with your #1 combo of natural gut and alu-power rough?

salut, que penses tu du Solinco confidential ?

I am a big fan of Kirschbaum strings, Pro Line Evolution and latterly Max Power (which is actually a low power string).

I am now trying Kirschbaum gut in the Mains and 4G Soft in the crosses. Alu Power is losing tension very quickly.

Do u like rpm rough over rpm blast what do u think is the best strings for pure drive 98?

What strings would you personally put on a Gravity Pro? I really liked the look of the orange ones you used in your Head Racket Rundown video, but it sounds like you might prefer something different from that based on what you are saying here.

If I was to try hybrid, I currently string my blade V8 18x20 at 17kg 1.20mm with Tour Bite, what would you recommend for tension with 4G and gut ?

Hi Luka! Can you please recommend couple of rackets for ntrp player 3.0, going to 3.5 My thoughts, 98 is a little bit small sweet spot for my skills right now, at other side I don’t want to change the racket too often. May be it’s time to change to 98, and improve technique? Or don’t be hurry and play with 100.. Now I’m playing Babolat pure aero team 2017 . 300 gram / 100 I’m 185 cm height, 95 kilos Tennis experience- 1 year (current ntrp 3.0) Thank you! Appreciate for your feedback!

I've only hit with poly string once and didn't like the feel. Could I cross poly and multifilament for a better feel? Any specific combos you'd recommend? Noticed you didn't mention multifilament at all. Is there a reason for that? Thanks!

I've playing playing the Pure Aero 98 a lot recently. What is your favorite string setup in the PA98s?

At what tension do you string your gut/poly hybrid? For instance for a 2024 Speed MP? 😁

Hi luca I wonder what are your thoughts about solinco confidential?

I use yonex poly tour pro in my ezone 100, but its getting boring after few weeks. Will switching to head lynx tour make it more controlled and better feel. Appreciate the feedback

Man this vid was great. Quick question tho, do u think Lynx would go well on a clash?

Absolutely nailed the Luxilon Alu Power description! I enjoyed 4G MUCH more, but only on an 18*20 V5 Blade. Played it again months later with a "Tweener" and was just "meh".

Head Lynx Tour squad hyyype! I do find the orange looking better than champagne, looks straight 🔥in black frames like ProStaff 97v13 and also in Ezone and Vcores.

For the natural gut and alu rough do you string them at the same weight?

Tensions per frame?

Head hawk touch + gravity pro. Yes, you need to do things yourself, but it's extremely rewarding.

Can you explain why rough strings slide better on gut? Also, don't you get spin from the mains snapping, not the crosses?

I'd love to see a review of reString ZERO and SYNC as a hybrid... I've been playing ZERO for a while now, it gives great access to spin, but might be a bit lively and uncontrolled sometimes. My hypothesis is, that SYNC in the crosses should round up the feel while having the same snap-back and durability as you have with a full bed of ZERO... would love to hear your opinion and ideally live experience ;-)

i have a gravity tour with luxilon alu and a boom mp with hawk in it, i cant play with the gravity at all, i lose against people who normally i beat 6 1, i dont think it's the weight, i've played with other 305/310 g rackets and had no problem, will try to change strings and tension and see, maybe it's just the gravity which is too difficult for me (i'm a beginner)

Which tensions are you using for polys and for gut/poly hybrid?

Hi Luca, what tension do you put in natural gut and all power rough?

Toroline sold me the Toro Toro as basically being Wasabi, but more predictable/controllable. Which, at first I took as "yea, sure, whatever". I played with it for ~2 months. Restrung both of my ProStaffs. One with Toro Toro and one with Wasabi (same tension). Switched between the two. To my surprise, it wasn't just marketing jargon. The Toro Toro ACTUALLY felt more controllable/predictable coming off of the string bed. Somehow they impressed me more than when I tried Wasabi. Also, when these eventually notch (they seemed to notch earlier and more aggressively than Wasabi), they still play rather well and close to brand new. However, you will notice that your ball gets a small bit less spin and loses a decent amount push/power once they've notched enough.

What is the best string in the toroline lineup have u tested other strings then the wasabi?

What about the tension for Gut Mains & Alu Rough cross? Thx

should you try and match the strengths of the string to your racket, or get strings that have completely different strengths?

any cheaper alternatives for the gut x poly? maybe synth gut?

Silver 7 Tour better be on there, Luca. You have been warned.

What string set up do you recommend for the Wilson Blade v9 100?

What’s the best control string that’s either a soft poly or multi?

Only draw back of natural gut other than it is expensive is that it notches pretty quick and if you play on clay it looses some of its playability even quicker. Otherwise I would agree that it’s the best coupled with Alu power rough

What tension do you have on your hybrid (guts + alu rough)?

have you tried restring zero? the original? its a new company that makes strings with crazy snap back, and known from its original, not its new one right now yet maybe its great aswell. You should try it!

Hey man can you do a review on the tourna big hitter silver 7 tour

are you tested Restring? what do u think about?

I've always stayed away from RPM Blast and RPM Blast Rough b/c they are not known for their tension maintenance. I was curious seeing Rough so high on this list b/c, even though it outlasts ALU Power, it has the same drawback of poor tension maintenance as ALU Power.

Have you tried hyper-g round variant?

anyone tried head velocity mlt what does it feel like compared to the rest?

If your alu dead in 2 hours of playing with natural gut hybrid, do you just lost $35 to replace the full bed? Or you just replace alu on cross?

Would be nice to include price on each and type of string. Any reason why multifilaments generally do not make this list?

I'm a 4.0 with minor wrist and elbow issues (both from lifting grocery bags, not tennis). I'd love to see you review tennis strings for players at my level and below. What level are you, by the way? Most reviewers are very good players and don't always speak to players of lesser rating. You do. This video doesn't help me as it's clearly for higher level players. I understand. I play tested a Percept 97 recently and loved it. I ordered two from my local tennis shop. I like a 5/8 grip, so they had to be ordered. The demo had a poly of some kind in it, which I loved. I'm afraid to use a poly as I don't want arm issues that will keep me from playing. The owner of the shop restrung the demo and is letting me use it until my rackets arrive. I has some kind of multi or polyester in it and I didn't enjoy the feel today. Sorry for the long post. Any recommendations? Great reviews, luca!

Re. Gut hybrid - isn’t Alu Rough going dead just like basic Alu? Why not use Head Lynx Tour as cross, or Restring Zero or something? What would you suggest? For be gut hybrid lives for 20+ hours, and I want as long-living poly as cross as possible…

A great ALU Power clone is Topspin Cyberflash. It may be even better.

alu power rough in the croses loses playability as fast as alu power ?

I was waiting for the gratuitous mention of the Gravity Pro at the end there but it never came! 😂

Never tried the Toroline … I went back to tennis after 20 years playing right now 6+ hours every week . I always been towards Head interms of racquets so I tried several racquets but always with Lynx / Lynx Tour strings . With Tour I never felt the need to/ will to try another .. I tried in a year almost every racquet om the market and actually purchased too much of them but f there is a constant in my search is actually the strings … Lynx Tour with the same setup , just tighter in the mains if the racquet is on the “power side”

What gauge is better, 16 or 17 and why?

Was kind of expecting to see Hawk Power on the list.

finally YES

According to the Strings you love you should also try Tourna Big Hitter Silver (Seven Tour). IMHO better than RPM and Alu.

doesnt alu rough loses tension or spin like Alu power?

I've been using the natural gut/ALU power hybrid for about 20 years and have yet to find anything better!

Shots fired! Is there going to Becket beef? Tee Hee

I can't tell if toroline is hyped because of sponsers or actually good i ordered two rolls so we will see

try natural gut (mains) with Lynx tour (cross)

How about favorite for cold vs warm weather? Gut is not good for damp weather

Have you tried restring zero ? You are my most trustable tennis Chanel on RU-vid

How do you detect a string need be replaced?

Lynx Tour ftw
