Polyester Hybrid Setups – the go-to strings of the future?
As we all know, hybrid string setups have been around on and off tour for quite some time. Players like Roger Federer, Alexander Zverev or Novak Djokovic have been playing with hybrid setups of gut and poly for some time. String manufacturers, such as Wilson and Babolat, often even have pre-packed hybrid gut setups for […]
String Review – base12 Alpha
Next to writing about the latest tennis news and events, I also occasionally play some tennis myself. And for the last couple of weeks, I have been testing a string from a German company called base12. The founders are two former college players, who came back to Germany and according to their website wanted to […]
String hybrids
String hybrids are becoming increasingly popular on the pro tours, but also among club level players. Have you tried a hybrid? String hybrids are when you string the mains and the crosses with different strings. The idea is to achieve an ideal blend of power, spin, comfort, control, and feel. Since combinations are seemingly endless, […]
Stringlab Hydrogen Revo 1.26 Review
I’m not really into bright/neon bright green tennis strings, but thought to myself: “let’s put this one on the Blade to match the cosmetics”. Also, I wanted to try a more plasticky string. Hydrogen Revo Hex feels exactly that when stringing and touching it: a plasticky, not very shiny/slippery string, with 6 pronounced edges that […]
L-Tec Premium Meteor Pro Strings Review
I have been playing this string for more than a year now in both the 1.20 and 1.25 gauge. First, playing at a lower level and using the Diadem Elevate V3 FS98 (1.25 gauge) and the Pro Kennex Ki5 295 (1.20 gauge) at low 20s. During the month of April of 2024, I revisited it […]

And that’s because the last time I had played tennis at all, in November […]
Oehms Alu Pearl Rough Review
Oehms Alu Pearl Rough 1.25 is a uniquely shaped string Made in Germany. Besides strings, they manufacture leather grips. I played it for a month, and this is my verdict. Strung at 22kg full-bed on my Diadem Elevate V2 FS98, my impressions during all warm-ups were that its stiffness level was soft-to-medium, meaning that it […]
Dyreex Strings Overview
I’ve played plenty of Dyreex strings. Some 1.5 years ago, playing at a lower level. Now I think I have enough experience for a Dyreex String Overview. Intro Dyreex is a tennis brand based in France that has a vast range of tennis strings. During these past two years, I’ve played with several of them. […]
Luxilon Eco Spin
Eco-friendly strings are here. Luxilon Eco Spin is the Belgian string brand’s third offering in this segment where 90% of the string is made from PET bottles. We have previously tested Luxilon Eco Power and Eco Rough. These are decent options, but we weren’t super enthused by the performance of Eco Power, and Eco Rough […]
