    I remember guys from our park talking about poly string in the 80's/90's. They talked about it resembling weed whacker string. The Toa hybrid string was one of the first complete poly sets I used in the early days. The newer co poly or softer poly strings are a great revolutionary trend to aid players court and arm health needs.

    A lot of side effects of a stiff poly can be mitigated by having a high weight/high plow through racket (both static and swing weights). Most pros add a lot of lead to the hoop and silicone in the handle. That said, I don’t feel like Alu Power is that stiff. But rather it has a high energy rebound activation. If you hit hard with it, it actually can rebound a lot of those energy unlike other stiff polys I’ve tried, and that’s what makes it special.

    Hey Tennis Spin, I have a question about which strings should I use. Right now, I use a tecnifibre black code 17 on a Wilson Ultra 100 L 3.0. I tried the Wilson NXT Soft 16 and they were ok, but they broke not even a week in. So I switched back to the Tencnifibre Black code 17 and they last me about 3 - 4 weeks. Thats the reason why I use the Black Code. Although my right shoulder hurts from them, I at least get to play longer with them and hence wise save money. Which strings do you think I should use? I normally string my rackets with a tension of 23.5kg(51.81pb) and I'm 15 years old, I play quite competitively/ train everyday of the week for 2 hours. Can't wait for you to respond to my comment! Love the vids and stay safe!

    It depends also on the racket. A Wilson Pro Staff 95 can't have the same tension as a Babolat Pure Storm 98. A friend of mine (big flat hitter) had elbow problems until I started stringing his rackets. I put 40-42 lbs (mains poly, crosses sinthetic) on the Wilson and 48-50 on the Babolat. He forgot about the elbow and is very happy with the results. He says the Wilson is now awesome (before the change, at 55 lbs he said it was unplayable).

    ANY string strung at the wrong tension for a particular racquet will cause tennis elbow .... Even Natural Gut at high tension in a stiff racquet will cause tennis elbow (it's just a matter of time) ... The rule of thumb for me is if you're playing with an undamped racquet, be very careful playing with a full bed poly.

    I think the difference is the pros can have it strung for every match so their tension will never drop too low where as normal people will end up with too low of tension if strung too low. For that reason I do low 50s and let it drop to 40s in a few hours of hitting. By then the life of the string is half way done anyways. IMO just depends on what ideal tension u like to hit with and consider the drop when u string it...

    The stringbed gets looser as you play, so how do old 'dead' strings at a much lower tension compare to a new 'elastic' stringbed in terms of force applied to your arm? It seems less force is required to generate the same ball speed for the old set, ie you can swing slower and get the same ball speed. Where is that extra energy coming from? Presumably from the elasticity of the strings, and so I'm going to guess that less energy is transferred to your arm when using an old set of strings that have become loose compared to a fresh, tight stringbed. I agree that more elastic strings will help, but is it relevant when comparing stringbeds that are at a difference of say 10 lbs? What is tension loss of a stringbed at the point it is deemed 'dead', 20%?

    I used to play with 58-60pounds tension as a teenager until my 30s, but as we age, we simply need to accept the fact that our bodies will not be as resilient as before. I reluctant went from 58 to 54 and now to 52. My next string job will be at 50. 😄

    I have used pro hurricane and rpm blast for 15 yrs and finally got tennis elbow 7 yrs ago so I had to quit playing tennis. I'm 50 now and back in the game. I use multi filament string now and they are just amazing on my arm. I still string at 55lb of tension. I wish someone told me about poly's and how they'd kill my elbow.

It was stiff, unresponsive, no pop, probably the strings could have been dead, but it was awful. I don't know how people can play with that shit.

    If you’re not Atleast a 4.5 ntrp, you have no need for poly. It will hurt your game more than it will help. You need Long fast strokes for poly mains to help your strokes. If you don’t have long fast strokes, you will play much better tennis with synthetic mains and even a full bed synthetic and it will have exceptional control.

    I think the biggest problem with polys is that they loose tension ab elasticity so quickly. I recently had my rackets strung alu power rough 1.25 game 1 very stiff a week later perfect, week 2,3 still good. Week 4 dead on blocked returns a little pain after match. Swapped to my number 2 racket at week 4 that was dead to. As a recreational player the deteriarion and string maintenance is far to fast and you end up quickly playing with strings that are deadening and loosing tension. Here’s the thing though the kids of elasticity is disguised by the loss of tension. I’m now using stringster and after my second set of alu power rough and seeing how fast the string looses elasticity and tension is alarming. I’m off to try multis as a club player the string tension consistency is important for me to improve my game. Running a hybrid masks this problem and you could have a hybrid , multi retaining tension at 95% and the poly at 50 to 60% after a month. If you don’t check your polys the frame will suffer.

    I think that combination of high tension + flexible frame = dead elbow I played with wilson kfactor 90 tour ( federer stick ).... Flexible frame with small head size. Every time i put strings higher tension than 24 , my elbow start to hurt... i played with alu power, black widow, some hybrids etc etc After i lowered tension to 21 or 22, evwrything went ok. Hm... maybe we all react different, but for me, lowering tension on flexible frame was ok desicion. Now, i play with RF97 v11- black I had little issues with my upper arm over elbow ( maybe issu with muscle .) when i was playing with luxilon alu power on 27/25kgs After i switched to AluPowerRough never had any arm issues.... Hm, maybe its about stiffnes of the strings, but about tension too.... Now i play again with AluPower and no single issue... i think that its about strenght of your arm and that you must get used to that stiff strings so your body addopt new conditions of playing... I played ChampionChoice too ( gut mains/ lux crosses )27/25kgs Great hybrid.... little stiff first two days...

    So they have been around for some time. I first heard of them in 2010. I was late on this. When I strung the racquet at the tennis shop the girl asked if I want Poly, Multi, Synthetic or Gut. I was like "Poly?" Also Multi I had no idea. Prior to that I was just using Synthetic or Gut, so Multi was a mystery to me too. Love Gut and some Multi. Cheapo Synthetic is no bueno. No good. Multi is so much better than Synthetic. Poly no good also. Feeling of those I don't care for plus my arm doesn't like them.
