Found this great post on strings used by top players at tennisthis and will list it below. Luxilon Big Banger is a bestseller but we knew that already and that players like to play with hybrid stringing is not news to most people, but still an interesting list. I wonder what you would have to do to convince a player to change their go-to-string. (I play with Babolat RPM Blast, Tecnifibre X-One Bi-phase and One Strings Carbon NRG myself by the way.)
