Since my arm hates polys I’m a big tester and user of multis. For several months my favorite one is thé Head RIP control because you got best of both world : great control, decent snap back, really comfortable, average durability and maybe the best spin friendly.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'm going to try out X-One before I finally crumble and get a full bed of Wilson Gut for my Six-One 95! But you missed out the best multi of all time: Wilson Sensation. I can't explain it, but the feel is still great even though it's really cheap and strung in many 'Walmart' rackets. Also great in a hybrid.

Tested the NRG, X-One and NXT before moving on to the polys. NXT

Great stuff TW as always! Please do one session to introduce hybrid combo. Thanks! 🙏

hi, thanks for the info. question...im havin some golfers elbow, so wanted to go full bed of multifilament in a very low tension...how low in tension can you go on a ful bed of multi? i know you can go 35lb on a monofilament, but what about multi strings? Im using now a head youtek speed mp(315gr, 18x20, 2 grams of lead at 12) with a hybrid in 42 lb, poly in the mains and syntetic gut in the crosses....want to go to a full bed of multi till I get better, but I dont know how low I can go in tension, and still be playable...thank you very much!!!

Which multi has most snapback

I've always played with polys, but my arms absolutely hate them, I've been really dealing with bad tennis elbow. Would you recommend trying a softer poly (Sidewinder, Tour Bite Soft, etc..) or a more controlled multi? I really like the control I get with a poly, so I'm looking for a way to maintain that control, but have to find a way to get some relief for my elbow. Thanks!!

Yeah, it sounds like the safe bet would be to go as soft as possible, just to try and help alleviate the pain. Maybe even consider a hybrid of the two, a soft poly, and a more control oriented multi, that way you won't be giving up all aspects of the poly. Troy, TW

Really nice vlog. Just wandering what is the major difference between your bite, hyper G and volkl v square?

Check out our comparison video of Hyper-G vs. Tour Bite, here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hGeFkpqkY862d84.html. We also have an article on it, here: www.tennis-warehouse.com/comparison/STB16_SHG16.html. Volkl V-Square offers just as much spin potential as the other two, maybe more, but doesn't quite have the control, and tension maintenance of those two strings. V-Square plays more lively, and feels a bit more elastic. Troy, TW

How would you say the power of alpha gut 2000 compares to Multifeel?

Please do a similar video for synthetic gut. I am not a multifilament fan because they lack control unless you string them tight. I'd rather use a syn gut at a medium tension for a combination of spin, control and comfort. The durability is pretty good too as I mostly hit flat shots. Many thanks for listening!

@tenniswarehouse

It offers a softer, plusher feel and more power. You might want to consider bumping up the tension a couple of pounds as you'll be using a more powerful string and also putting it in the more dominant position (main strings) so the overall power of the stringbed will noticeably increase. The higher tension will help bring back some control. Once you get used to it you can start reducing the tension bit by bit if desired. Cheers, Chris, TW

Both of those polys aren't considered soft polys, so I could see that. If you are going with a soft poly, I would consider something like ISOSPEED Cream, or Volkl V-Star. If you were to try a multi I would go with something like Wilson Sensation Control, Tecnifibre Multifeel, Tecnifibre HDMX Floro. It will take some experimenting to see what works best for you, and you might also find that a hybrid of the two string types will be a good option for you. Troy, TW

Gut slides very well with a poly cross so you will get some nice snap back for added spin from that set up. For multis I like Tecnifibre Multifeel as an affordable and very spin-friendly multi. For a premium multi Head Reflex MLT feels spin-friendly for me. Alpha Gut 2000 offers me so much control I can swing fast enough to generate spin without fear of over hitting. It's also a great price. Also, a new string from Tecnifibre is coming out at the end of the month called Triax. It blends multifilament construction with poly filaments in one string. We are finding it to offer great spin/control yet still be very comfortable. Cheers, Chris, TW.

How often are you breaking your strings? and what string have you been using? If you have been experiencing some arm discomfort, you would likely want to go with a softer string type, in which multis are best for that. Polys are more durable overall, but they don't hold tension well, and usually lose a lot of the playing characteristics much faster than a multi. There is also the option of a hybrid, where you mix the two string types, and that could be an option to consider. Troy, TW
