Some interesting Hybrid stringing

29/5/2014

I have had some interesting Hybrid stringing to do this month:
Below are some of the Hybrid combinations:

Racket Mains Crosses

Wilson Steam 105S Tennis Tech Match Pro 1.30 Dunlop Biomimetic Ice 1.25
Babolat Drive Z lite MSV Hepta Twist 1.20 MSV Focus Hex 1.10
Wilson Pro Power 100 Pro's Pro Black Force 1.20 Babolat Xcel 1.20
Wilson K6 1 Lite Tennis Tech Kevlar 1.10 MSV Focus Hex 1.10

All looking for something different to add to their game, It must of worked as they have all said they liked it!

Some of the reasons:
Wanted a softer feel, more durable setup, more power and more control!

Pro's Pro A1
This High-Tech string with extravagant appearance offers great comfort. The center core is made of high tensile multifilaments which are wrapped with a layer of shock-absorbing braided filaments. A layer of monofilaments is twisted around that. This offers an ultimate comfort similar to the one of natural gut. Gauge: 1.30 mm. Color: black/gold spiral.

I wanted another Multifilament to test as quite a few players have asked for another Multi for their racket.
Just strung one of my powerangle (see photo below) rackets with this string, I had forgotten how nice it is to string with a multifilament, no kinking, no coil memory and nice to work with a soft string again. The string stretches when being tensioned so I expect this string to give me a lot of power, feel and control. I may be playing later (weather dependent !) so I will let you know the results of the test.

Played with this string tonight: Good control and feel, lower in power but the balls were wet and heavy ( Playing on Tournament grade astro ) It is a really good Multi I may try it at a lower tension to see if I can raise the power a bit.
The balls went were I hit them and I think this could be a very good string in dry conditions..
A good string plays well and feels good, so into the string list it is!

Pro's Pro Intense Heat: presents a new generation of polyester string. It is made of softened polyester material that does not have the rigid and stiff feeling of traditional polyester strings. This string is constructed by our newly developed nano-technology and creates a smooth surface that allows the string to move back to it's position rapidly during the competition. The result is excellent performance, control and durability. - No string movement, maximum power, superior durability and exceptional tension maintenance. Due to the super soft components, the string is much softer and arm-friendly than traditional polyester strings Gauge: 1.30 mm

Very interested in this string as it has had good reviews in the open pattern spin rackets, looking for a good durable playable string that will last longer than most!

Update: Just played 2 hrs with this string on the ball machine: really good sound from this string, good power ,soft feel for a poly, no aches or arm issues after 2 hrs so it maybe arm friendly :-)
Good control and direction, this is a very good poly, will play with it again tonight and see how it holds up!
Played tonight with this string and I am very impressed indeed, I strung it at 50Ibs and it feels nice and powerful but with feel and control. Will be playing again tomorrow (men's doubles) so will update again.

String Test: Pro's Pro Cyber Power

PRO'S PRO CYBER POWER

This innovative Japanese high-tech-string offers a perfect combination of superlative properties: superior durability and control, optimized shock absorption and feel, with little loss of tension. Especially developed for high demanding tournament players. Compare to Luxilon Big Banger ALU Flouro, Babolat Pro Hurricane.

Ok just strung one of my PowerAngle 102 rackets with this string, I have strung it at 52Ibs which fits in with both the string and racket tension.
When tested for Dynamic tension it registered 52.4Ibs
Feels quite soft and slippery when stringing and doesn't kink or burn when threading the strings.
Ok it's now 24 hrs so I have tested the tension and it's now 49Ibs , this is a 6% drop which isn't bad for a co-poly,(the tension loss should now decrease as the biggest loss is normally in the first 24hrs.)

Right finally got to play with this string on Sunday, (very windy) very nice feel and control, The power is also good !
Really needed the control with the windy conditions and was able to serve into the wind with the power available, nice string. Will be using it again very soon and will update this blog.
Update: Well I played a men's doubles match with this set up and I have to say it was very good, control with power and feel, the courts were a bit slippy with moss so the control came in very handy, wide cross courts took the opposition out into the slippy stuff and then the next shot down the middle for a winner, nice.

Another string I will be offering !
