Head hawk touch is awsome

Do you playtest the yellow ptp? The yellow one is much better than the Black one

Great contents, happens to a lot of us that the most popular strings not matching our taste which is fine since different strokes for different folks. Just seeing the tiltle without finishing the video, I would guess the Hyper-G and PTP 😂

I'm 100% in agreement with you on all of those strings!!

Havent use head hawk, but i totally agree with the rest

It's important to say that how the string feels is very dependent on the racket. Hyper-G ... in the Pro Staff RF97A feels very good (for me) since it balances the stiff racket with a soft string (or even Hyper-G Soft). Hyper-G in the soft(er) Blade Pro feels really awful (especially at medium/lower tensions like 23kg and below), since the frame is soft already + the soft hyper-g feels very mushy and weird. Here the Tour Bite feels much better (for me). What racket(s) did you play most of the strings with? The Speed Pro 18x20?

It would be interesting a video matching strings to different kind of rackets and string patterns. Cheers

Great video as always

Interesting... I find the cyclone to be a lto mroe lively and responsive than RPM blast. I also feel the difference in the different contact points very easily too. I string it quite high because of it's springyness and power. It will likely be very dependant on rackets. I use a Wilson Pro Staff 95s and I string it at 60lbs.

I think it's great that you remain positive even with a critique. Some creators are negative..

Thank you. I believe everyone has different play styles and preferences so it's not so much that the strings or rackets I try are bad, they are just sometimes not suited for my game.

sounds like Razor Code white is the string for you

Great videos and content! I recently got sent 3 strings to test. Tourna silver 7 tour, gamma moto soft, and head lynx tour. All in 17 g. What order do you think I should play test them in ?

I haven't tried the Tourna or the Gamma string you mentioned but I believe those are softer than the Lynx Tour so maybe you should save the Lynx Tour for last.

One of the few to pronounce Yonex like the Japanese would. I doubt I’ll like your recommendations. Tour Bite feels dead and stiff to me. Hyper-G feels more elastic. I found the Hawk Touch to be elastic and playable - probably my favorite of your non-favorites. I only put poly in the crosses now, due to arm problems. But before the arm problems, I played virtually all of them and decided my preferences.

Everyone has their own play style and preferences so I'm glad you found something that works for you. BTW, I speak fluent Japanese so that's why I pronounce it like that haha

Is Head Hawk touch similar with lynx touch ?

@opencourt808

Only in terms of comfort. I believe Hawk Touch produces better spin. Lynx Touch stiffens up on faster swings though. Both have good control.

How can the hyper g be both 'springy' and 'dead'?

IMO, springy and dead are not opposite adjectives. I feel the Hyper G launches the ball on fast swings but when I try to hit sharp angles or drop shots, it doesn't give me enough feel

Hawk Touch is amazing, u get multi like feel but with poly like control. If u like it or not, but it's one of the most unique strings on the market IMO...

Is it true that 1.20 hyper G plays better than 1.25?

@opencourt808

Жыл бұрын

I think this is a matter of preference. I like thinner gauges so I would like the 120 better than 125. I heard the Bryan brothers use the Hyper G in a 115 gauge or something

I like Luxilon ALU Power Soft, although that isn't as soft as other "soft" strings. I think MSV Focus Hex soft is good. If you have a sensitive arm, I would just avoid polyester though

Hyper G is too mute for my liking. Tour Bite is too stiff for me.

In that case, the Confidential might be just right for you. The stiffness is supposed to be between Hyper G and Tour Bite.
