Customer Reviews
Soft co-polyI have had long term problems with tennis elbow but enjoy playing with poly / co-poly strings. The combination of changing to a very flexible Prince tennis racquet and this string has helped elevate the problem.
Good comfort and spin, no powerI put these strings in my Blade V8 16 x 19 at 48 pounds. My arm and shoulder can be pretty sensitive to stiff polyester strings and these gave me the no problem whatsoever. Control, comfort and spin were really good. The only downside I could find is that the string really lacks power compared to every other soft polyester string I've used over the last few months, and it's been quite a few. On the flipside of the coin, I think without the strings being so lively, I did find the strings to have better touch then most other soft polyester strings. I can't comment on the durability of the strings as the lack of power for me is a no go. And lastly, the green color looks spectacular with the Blade.
A perfect combination of power, comfort, spinI have been using a combination of Ytex Quadrotwist in the mains and Ytex Hexagon X in the crosses. This was a dream combination in terms of control and spin. Definitely took the game to another level. However, after using it for almost 7 months, my elbow was a mess. Tennis elbow that took over a year to heal. Since then, I have been searching for a string that is easy on the arm without sacrificing control. Using a multi in the hybrid felt useless to me. Natural gut in the hybrid (mains) with poly in crosses were good but not great. After trying several combinations, finally landed on something that provides all three things. Love this string. Played with different tensions including 45 pounds, 46 pounds, 47 pounds, 50 pounds and 52 pounds. I am finally settled on 50 pounds and loving it. No arm discomfort and no loss of spin or control. Looking to buy the reel.
