RSZ may have low string to string friction and the snap back may add spin depending on the tension and providing you swing fast enough to displace the mains for snapback effect. But you also need to account for string to ball friction as it influences both the amount of lateral string movement and the torque the snap-back exerts on the ball

Thank you! I think some of the comments are joking haha but at first I didn't consider that. Hmm hard to say if it's softer. It might be close. The thing is the gauge measurement is slightly different and zero is slightly more thick. I think it's pretty close. However, the snapback is so good that if you really brush the ball I think the effect almost seems to bring softness since the strings move with the ball more easily whereas others there's so much friction.

Snap back is also very important to me as I like the consistency it provides and not losing spin potential, my preference is Head Lynx Tour as the strings snap back into place even after 10h of play. Looking at the string comparison tool from tennis warehouse Head Lynx Tour has one of the lowest string to string friction coefficients. 20% Less than Hyper G and on par with Yonex Poly Tour Rev I will test the ReString Zero when I have the opportunity.

I have more sets but I don't really see the point for me. I tried the one which I was told has the best snapback of their offerings and as you can see it's not even close. I've also found the tension to drop more than I'm used to with zero. So maybe tension maintenance is still a lot better on zero as well.

I think snapback happens optimally at high tensions (for polys, somewhere 50-55), but of course you need to hit big. That's why for most polys (specially shaped/rough ones, spin-oriented) to bend it with the fingers slightly can be misleading. I tend to do those"checks" too, but found that if you release the string as you would a bow's (and pulling hard), snapback is more efficient. That said, lot of players (and particularly recreational ones) prefer polys at lower tensions, so I think in that in that sense Zero could make a great difference allowing players to access snapback-enhanced spin with tensions well under 50 and without needing to hit like Nadal. Dying to try it.

@time410s

Жыл бұрын

I think I follow what you mean. That being said, regardless of tension, I find ZERO to outperform the rest. Poly's are often strung at that mid 50 tension and I never find them to snapback anywhere near as nice as zero. They always line up out of place eventually whereas ZERO never does. The little snapback demo is just one piece of strong evidence but the fact the strings stay in that position for so long throughout the lifespan of the string is the true reveal. However. you can't just show that in a video. It would take a while and people would need to believe you didn't move the strings back into pefect position. I do hope you try! I think you will find it generates more spin, whatever the tension you end up liking it at. For the record, I go low to mid 50's with most other polys of the same gauge but this one feels a little better here. Just strung my SHIFT 315 and EZONE 98 at 49lbs. Will see how this feels soon.

@@time410s I'm one of the guys always asking when will it be available in Europe 😅. I think yesterday I even tried to simulate an order from their website to se how much would be the shipping, but my country (Spain) didn't even appeared in the otherwise pretty long list (though France and UK did). Didn't feel like looking for a valid address in France to at least get the approximate shipping because I guess even if it's reasonable the customs fee would make it just not worth it, so I'll guess I'll wait till it's sold in TW-Europe or something. Regarding the snapback, I think that yes, if you're getting out of place strings due to normal play, you can definitely say snapback is not being 100% efficient (you may still be getting some of course). And from what I saw of you playing I'd say that you actually hit pretty big, and the fact that you brake polys quite fast is a good tell-tale that you are definitely accessing topspin and sawing the strings often, as you explained in the vid. Anyway a string with a higher slippage will both bend slightly further for a given force or strain and also recover faster for a given tension I guess, so yes, it will anyway always have greater snapback and hence topspin. And of course the ultimate proof is that you actually noticed greater topspin playing with it! I'm curious tho that other reviews I saw of the string actually generally praise it but either don't mention anything regarding spin or qualify it as average (for a shaped poly), even tho you can see that in their playtest lots of big drives with decent net clearance were landing very close to the service line and such.

@time410s

Жыл бұрын

Thank you! I am excited for Europe availablity but it is always complicated expanding outside of your area, overseas (logistically) and still keeping things priced fairly for you and the customers. They are definitely working on it though. As for what you say about topspin, I think we agree on why and how much of a difference it makes. I haven't seen other reviews, actually. However, not to toot my own horn too much but it's extremely rare I find anyone hitting with as much topspin as I do. So the level to which I might appreciate this difference is probably greater than most, just due to how I hit the ball. But I'm also very focused on this detail of the string and that combination of players who also have a review channel might mean I'm the only one lol. So I try to make it obvious by showing the snapback because that is something everyone can observe. And if I can, in some future footage, I will try to show how much shape I can put on the ball when going for my most loopy and heavy shots. What would really blow me away and upset me if if TW sells this string someday and rates it's spin potential as less than other strings at the top of the list because that might affect how people think of it since TW is such an authority on tennis but for me, it would discredit how they measure spin potential in a string entirely because there's no way that rpm blast or quadrotwist etc has anywhere near as much.

This is a thoughtful question and I actually plan to dig into this a little deeper in a future video because it's so next level, this snapback, that is does change how the ball feels on contact. Definitely not more harsh. It's really the feeling of the strings cooperating with the ball better. It more easily slides across the stringbed instead of having to overcome all this friction to get that snapback on a typical poly. I find that result to be more comfortable. But it's not so much about the impact as it is the way the strings catch the ball. Know what I mean? The more sharp your angle, the more you may feel this affect. If you hit flat and through the ball, you won't notice it as much.

Alright. I bought the string, strung my head extreme tour 2022 at 53 lb and played with it for two games against a pusher and a big hitter. In the first game, against the pusher the string performed excellent offering me great control and excellent spin. I lacked some power in my first serve, but on my kick serve felt like I couldn’t miss. Overall, I enjoyed it in that game although I missed the power in my first serve. I didn’t have the same experience against the big hitter tho. The string felt very dead and I struggled to generate depth on my shots. The lack of ball pocketing was more perceivable at a faster pace and my cross court forehand was lacking spin and pace as the ball felt like it took immediately after impacting the racket which prevented me from pocketing it and sending back with heavy spin. My first serves were better (I guess because tension had dropped a few pounds) and my seconds serves continue being as good as the first day. Overall I give restring zero a 9/10. It’s almost perfect and a possible switch for me but not right now. I have to try it again at 48-50 lb to see if the ball pocketing improves as well as the speed of my first serves. For now I’ll stay with my trusty Solinco confidential in the main and my string of choice the Tecnifibre Blackcode in the crosses. Take my opinion with a grain of salt, as I’m only a 4.5 recreational player but as you I’ve tried pretty much every string in the market and I also string my own rackets. My string of choice is the Tecnifibre Blackcode 1.24 but in recent times I started using confidential in the main to add more control and counter the quick loss of string tension of the tecnifibre Blackcode.

Yes that's definitely something I think people overlook. Sometimes you change the physics of a string or how ages just based on the tension you pull it up. It's not like you always need to pull more attention to compensate for how much it will lose. It might lose a lot less much less quickly at lower tensions. It takes a while to properly get to know a string. I strung my PA98 with zero means and wasabi crosses. 41lbs all around, I think. Crazy enough, I could still go a little lower. There isn't necessarily a linear relationship to the tension at which you pull a string and the tension it feels like it is at. It really depends on the string.

I see. Yeah in that case I can't really suggest going to a thicker gauge unless you like a more dead and stiffer stringbed. Can help make an overly powerful frame a little more manageable but the result is usually not so desirable in other ways, in my case.

Hey, do you prefer ReString Zero in 1.23mm or 1.28 mm? Also, not sure which video, but I think I heard you say that you don’t like 16 gauge in 18x20 racquets. Can you elaborate why? Thanks and keep up the great videos!

@time410s

Жыл бұрын

sure thing! I prefer 17g. It just feels better, whenever compared to the same string in a thicker version. It's much less stiff and translates those feel-oriented vibrations to the racket better. The thicker strings absorb that a bit. It pockets the ball better, and in a stringbed so dense, it is noticeably lighter and slightly more aerodynamic but you might feel this in a 16x19 as well. The main upside of 16 is durability and "control" but durability on zero is already so crazy good, you don't need to go to 16 to get more. And I put control in quotes because I really just mean it's more dead. But as for zero, I can't suggest 17g enough. It's the way to go. String it a couple lbs or more lower than whatever your reference poly is.

I use rpm blast but want more kick as use western grip, will this string help get more kick without losing power? As rpm blast is powerful but not much feel ?

It could! I'd cross it with wasabi x or sync. Try it out. A couple other mains come to mind. All of these set a very high bar for spin. Toro Toro, o-toro, Wasabi. But my favorite would be zero and maybe o-toro right now. With Wasabi x as the cross or sync. Feel should be pretty good. I've tested in so many frames and find that makes a huge difference sometimes. Give it a try, consider experimenting with tension a little but if results aren't initially very impressive but most people find themselves surprised with the performance gains. I think these outperform everything in terms of spin and durability. Worth trying

Of course! If you aren't a super spinny player, you might appreciate the play and feel of the 18-gauge sync in the crosses. On the denser string patterns it makes even more sense.

Do you think the hyper G doesn't snapback well because of the square shape that graps the ball but also the main and cross grab each other? I put tier one ghostwire in the cross and my main hyper G main doesn't move much. Maybe restring zero is just really slippery. But anyway, my set of restring zero is on its way. Can't wait to try.

@time410s

Very good question and I actually want to make another video more focused on zero and it's features. I can see why showing how slippery the string is might make the string seem like it won't bite the ball but it actually has a shape to it VERY similar to Hyper G. It somehow has the bite and the slip all in one. Most compromise on one but this didn't on either. It's really impressive plus it's way more snapback than any round string I've ever seen. Way more. Excited for you to try as well!

@hillwellford9637

That's what seems to happen for me. Hyper-G as a cross rapidly scrapes into Hyper-G in the mains, after only a short time of hitting, and the stringbed starts to lock up. Head Hawk 17 is my favorite cross right now, and paired with Head Lynx Tour or Hyper-G as the main, it has plenty of snapback. I haven't compared to Zero yet. I have a set of Zero to try next time I restring. If Zero is better than Hawk, I'll be impressed.

I finally tried. Tried it right away during a match with a friend and felt it had more power and had probably more spin. Weirdly, I noticed i was hitting it out more so maybe i wasn't used to the power. I did strung it at 48 as opposed to 51 on my other setup but which has like close to 10 hours on it already. I switched back to my usual hyper G soft main and Ghostwire cross and finished the match with it as I was more consistent with it. I did a session with ball machine the next day and that's when i really felt the difference because of the hundreds of balls i was hitting no stop . Restring zero felt much stiffer although it's supposedly at a lower tension. I guess you could say my hybrid setup is mushy but i actually like mushy as I feel the ball stays in the stringbed longer and i was able to hitting for longer without my arms getting as tired. I will have to hit with restring zero more it matches but for practice when I'm taking less breaks and doing longer rallies, i still like hyper G soft and Ghostwire.

@time410s

Interesting story, thank you for sharing. Maybe you do like a mushy bed hence you using hyper G soft as opposed to the regular. It's possible you'd like it more in a hybrid with the ghostwire. I keep ghostwire around for stringing crosses sometimes! Yet to try it with Zero, though. Keep us posted!

I don’t know if you want to try any more strings but you should be open to trying Weiss canon ultra cable It is the highest rated for the most amount of spin potential and the least string friction and most ball friction on tennis warehouse university and it lives up to this fact even though I haven’t tried restring zero, I would still appreciate if you would consider trying the string to compare

Restring Zero vs Solinco Confidential. Thoughts?

@time410s

6 ай бұрын

As 2 different strings go, many say certain things about how they feel are quite similar and Confidential was somewhat of a reference string in the design phases and stages of Zero. I think Confidential might have more bite (initially) which does help spin in some ways but I think bite matters more at lower speeds. At higher speeds, there is so much force on the ball and strings together that the friction is enough to be roughly the same. That being said, Zero still bites and has WAY more snapback. I think the spin potential is very similar but quickly, overtime, Zero would outperform Confidential. The snapback keeps Zero alive in your stringbed much longer. I will break confidential in a few hitting sessions so like 2-3 days. Zero might last me close to 2 weeks under the same stresses and actually play better the entire time, by my standards.

Good question! Snapback is insane on both strings, nobody else comes close. The difference really lies in feel and tension maintenance. Wasabi does not hold tension as well but zero is honestly one of the best in this regard. Wasabi is also more soft so I string that a few lbs higher, sometimes a little more. "Feel" also maybe a little better on zero.

Love the control, love the softness and touch but when you really need to punch it im struggling and maybe it's not great with spin rackets or a pure aero*?idk. With cavier, yhe harder i hit the faster it goes, and its just not the same with the restring Zero. Should i lower the tension?
