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 !

Hi Dave,

I have both PP Cyber Power 1.25 and Signum Pro Xperience 1.18/1.25 strings which I intend to use as a hybrid in a Yonex Vcore Pro 97 HD racquet, Which string should I use in the mains and crosses and at what tension? Thanks.

Regards,
John

John never go above 53Ibs for both, use the thinner strings for the mains, but the questions is why are you mixing poly strings?

John Use the shaped Signum in the mains, as for tension I would never go above 53Ibs for both, If you have any arm/shoulder issues drop it to 50ibs (or don't use any poly with arm / elbow issues)

    Hi I'm Dave Giles, This is my Blog page, please feel free to leave a comment, I will of course review any comment before it is published.
    I have been involved with racket sports for over 40 yrs. I am a string tester for  various companies. I play mostly tennis nowadays but have been tempted back to squash coaching.
