You don’t see as many strings released in a year as the number of racquets. What is your favorite string in 2020? I tested a bunch of interesting strings in 2020. It will be hard to choose my favorite, but two I keep coming back to, which is a good sign! What is your favorite string in 2020? Please comment below. If you haven’t tried any new ones, I am …

I was sent a couple of samples of the new Yonex Poly Tour Rev string. It’s firm, bright-orange, shaped, and spin-oriented. I strung up the Yonex Poly Tour Rev string in my Yonex Ezone Tour at 22 kg or 49 lbs and I have hit with it twice. It was easy to install, has a glossy coating on it call SIF which is supposed to improve string movement and spin …

I have been testing the Hyper-G Soft over a couple of weeks and here is my Solinco Hyper-G Soft String Review. Solinco Hyper-G is a popular but pretty stiff string. But like with Tour Bite, Solinco has now introduced a softer version. I don’t know the difference in stiffness, but the string is definitely softer and more comfortable. Solinco Hyper-G Soft comes in four different gauges: 1.15, 1.20, 1.25, and …

If you are a player who is concerned with arm problems like tennis elbow (wrist or shoulder), why not use multifilament strings? Multifilament strings are softer for your arm and will give you more free power. Those are the benefits, the cons are that you won’t get the same durability, spin potential, and control. Still, if you are not a string breaker and you perhaps have more of a flat-hitting …

Toroline is a new American string brand in an already congested market. But they do make some high-quality strings! Here is my Toroline strings review. I wrote about Toroline strings as soon as I got my sample pack. I did like that they split each set in two (saves time) and that the total length was 13.4 m instead of 12 m, which gives the stringer more to work with. …

Here’s part 2 of my Tecnifibre Triax String Review. I have now tested the string for a month in a couple of different racquets. If you want to read my first impressions post about the new Tecnifibre Triax string, click here. For you who haven’t heard about Triax, it is a string that is 50% poly and 50% multifilament. The idea is to provide good comfort for hard-hitting players who …

I made a vlog about some upcoming string reviews from Toroline and Tecnifibre. I also mention Mayami Tour Hex, a favorite poly of mine. As you have read from the Toroline string preview, I am testing a couple of strings from this new U.S based brand. So upcoming string reviews will feature Toroline Caviar and Toroline Super Toro and probably their other strings too. I am not sure whether I …

I have created the first part of my Tecnifibre TRIAX string review and you can find the video below. Part 2 to come! I have played with the Triax string for about four and a half hours and I’ve really enjoyed it. I am testing the 1.38 gauge (which should be the most durable thickness in the line) in my Babolat Soft Drive and it’s started to fray a bit …

Ferenc Ferdinand Weisz is back with a string review. This time he writes about the Isospeed Control Classic string. Isospeed is the tennis brand of the Austrian sports manufacturer called Isosport. They are manufacturing nice co-poly strings like Black Fire or Baseline range, which I reviewed earlier, but I think the main strength of Isospeed is the multifilament. They are producing many multifilaments: Professional, Control, Professional Classic, Control Classic, Energetic, …
