Great video! I’m a tennis director in Florida. I string hyper G hybrid for my entire club, including myself. Thanks for all the great videos! You’ve helped me so much with my pro shop.

Hey, Harry! The new Luxilon Alu Power VIBE is just in time for this hybrid subject. It is superior as a arm comfort string and great for low RA racquets such as the Clash. Also, it can be used in stiffer racquet frames to aid arm comfort. As a full bed, it plays soft with great access to power. To get more feel, one can use VIBE as a cross with a firmer poly on the mains. Vibe has a surface to aid snap back and reduce friction wear. Thus, you get feel, comfort, durability and performance. Yippy!

Thanks again for your great info🤌😎🤙🎾🎾🎾👊🙏

My setup: Head Speed MP with Luxilon ALU Fluoro mains / Wilson NXT crosses @ 49 lbs. 4 1/4 grip size + undergrip + 2 white wilson pro overgrips + 8g lead tape at +- 30 degrees from the head side center line. And crazily enough, I 100% agree with your analysis of soft/soft hybrid setups! My hitting style and build I have spent optimizing for 3 years now at a club level for my florida college all of whom play between a 4.0/4.5 usta rating for men's and can hold our own against UF (who can be regarded as some of the best competition at the JV collegiate level in the nation). The perks of my setup is the softness and minimal harsh vibrations/feedback that would hasten tennis elbow & wrist injuries especially at the collegiate level while providing strong pop and power. It does come at the cost of diminished spin from groundstrokes and serve. This has proven to be a formidable setup for doubles where flat, low balls are ideal and serves/volley playstyles are rewarded. I consistently play above my weight class because my setup gears me for success in doubles. Would recommend for players who are older that play at a moderate level and dont/no longer have the necessary strength to muscle the ball back every time.

Bryan bros used to hybrid hyper g with gut

You can hybrid anything. Just comes down to personal prefs.

I'd like mine to play a "C" note when striking, should I hybrid some guitar or violin string for that? ... ;)

My favorite hybrid when recovering from shoulder injury was VS gut 16g on the mains at 54lbs and Technifibre Black Code at 51 on the crosses. Lately I've tried hybriding VS gut and Confidential, works as well.

In your video on June 14th, 2020 you suggested the Hyper G as a good combination option for hybrid strings. In this video you say something else again. Make up your mind XD

I have done hybrid with Hyper G and Syn gut (Gosen OG Sheep micro). works great!

If you want a soft cross that will allow a spin oriented poly to activate, try the Isospeed Cream. Even though its soft, it's a round and crazy slick poly. Try to pair something firmer with similar tension loss. Some good choices are Technifibre 4S, Diadem Elite XT, or Confidential.

I used a full bed of Luxilon Element and it played well. But, it did not last. I used very disappointed in the durability. Then, I used the Element on the mains with a coated snap back type of string and it lasted so much longer. Now I am a Element fan when i use it as a hybrid partner.

confidential G17 main toalson 130 poly cross works best for me…i got introduced to solinco confidential because of this channel..thanks!

Thx Harry! I actually hybrid Yonex PolyTour REV with a Yonex PolyTour Spin G together at the same tension 48 lbs, they're both great, but one feels more muted than the other and by combining them both - my shots are silent but with the perfect amount of feel from the PolyTour REV on the mains! ... Also tried a 2 lb tension difference from mains to crosses with no difference in feel/playability, so just stuck with same tension all around. These strings are what I found when I was looking for a complete RPM Rough replacement for a better price (around $170 / reel on eBay :) ... Use it on the newest Yonex Vcore Pro 97 and the Vcore 98 before I upgraded (needed more stability on my one handed backhand, hence maybe why Shapovalov replaced his Vcore 95...)

Ya, hybrid setup of Hyper G and Technifibre multi only lasts me one or two matches before they break and then they break like 5-6 strings will break at once and they all frayed lol. Love the feel tho.

A weird but interesting question to be answered.

so i have been hybriding Hyper G with technifibre multi feel. I really love hyper g as a full bed, but in stiffer frames, it gives me elbow issues. im using the ezone line up right now, the 100+ and 98 tour both with lead tape. They felt really stiff at first but once i got the multi in the crosses, the racquet feels much better. I prefer having a full bed still though, it gives you more control, and less lag time on your frame which i like. but i think having the multi feel in the crosses make it a little more powerful from the trampoline effect. i might lose a little bit of spin and launch angle.

Hey tennis spin! Can you make a video review of synthetic gut strings? Thanks

Very much appreciate your videos. I was really confused to hear you say you don’t hybrid hyper G frequently since you suggested that a lot for hybrids in videos from 2020. I guess those were more hypothetical suggestions perhaps. I do like hyper g in a hybrid but after seeing this video I may try a full bed just to see.

I would string the triax 5 to 6 lbs higher on the crosses than what ever tension you put on the poly's mains. I've hybrid the hyper g 17g mains with Tier One Ghost 17g on the crosses and got great spin and power from that combination. Because of the rounded ghost string with a coating on it makes main snaps back freely.

Planning to do a hybrid gamma live wire in the cross and alu power rough in the mains🔥😤🥴

According to one stringer, they string alot of rackets for their 4.5 players with HDMX or Triax with Yonex Pro tour air.

got hyper G hybrid and it was far too soft, ended up breaking very quickly. now play full poly

I'm about to restring my Solinco Hyper G as my main and Solinco multifilament as my cross to try. Trying to target it both at 50 lb to 48 lbs. And will provide feedback.

hyper G size 20 on main and Babolat synthetic size 17 on cross, gives decent durability for me, tension at 38 LBs on main and 40 for crosses and plays perfect, soft and lots of spin. if you put same synthetic on main and same poly on cross sound or feel becomes really nicer but of course breaks faster.

I have used Hyper G on hybrid with synthetic and I loved it.

What synthetic exactly? I’m planing to doing the same combination in the near future.

I’ve used either Wilson or Gamma Synthetic. Forgot the name but it was a cheap synthetic string.

After trying many different hybrids in many different frames, I decided that I preferr polys in a full bed. The only hybrid that worked for me was Champion's Choice for example but it's $$$. For me, the problem is finding the tension that works best with each string and frame combinatioin. A universal, go to tension for all racquets can sometimes feel unplayable whether a hybrid or full bed.

Nice time I was planning on hybriding head lynx tour as mains and tecnofober x-biphase for the crosses...seems like it'd be a mismatch.

What about the other way around, tourbite in hybrid feels great(soft even)…but full bed feels much stiffer.

I recently tried kevlar mainstream with solinco tourbite and you're right, it felt very very soft.

Love the channel. Would you ever hybrid technafibre multifeel and rpm blast? I picked up a used racquet that has it and it’s weird but feels nice. I was thinking of re stringing a similar way but not sure if there is a better option and what a good weight to get would be. Thanks!

Well based on my little experience, to match two strings in hybrid you should look at strings measured data, available on subscription databases, to create a string bed that works synchronous. However the poly will always decay faster than synthetic, multi or natural gut reason why never works for many hours and becomes erratic in spin, mostly on modern frames. Unless you change racquet every 9 games of course.

i have yet to try it but i hear that tier 1 - ghost wire is really good as a softer poly to mix with the harsher polys

I really enjoy a hybrid of Yonex Poly tour pro and Velocity, goes very nicely together...you should try it!

Hello what tension?

Hi, I’ve been hybriding Wilson NXT 16 on the mains with Luxilon ALU Power Fluoro (17g) on the crosses. I like the feel a lot (fair to say that I’m not a string breaker, durability is not an issue for me). Am I doing it wrong? I started using this combination back in 2015 when I got my first-generation Wilson Burn 100S, but I’ve kept it on my 2nd and 4th gen Burns 100S and it also feels good. I’m about to change to a Yonex Ezone 100 (300 gr), Do I keep the same strings?

I hybrided hyper g in the mains with Wilson revolution, which I liked full bed on my burn 100s, in order to make an extreme spin combination. Well, it didn't go as planed and I am still trying to figure out why. It was so disappointing that I immediately cut it after getting home. On a friend's pure drive I tried msv focus hex mains and technifiber ice code crosses to fit his needs but it finally proved to be one of my two favourite racket-string combinations with the other being a slighly customized gravity pro with lynx tour, but in this case I know exactly what happened. For him I should have dropped the tension about 4 lb because he needs more from the racket than I do.

Can you please make a video on Gosen Sidewinder string and how do they compare to solinco Confidential/ Hyper-G / Tour Bite?

Hyper g at 52 mains w/ Bab origin at 55 works for me. Triax 2 sticky and does not allow mains to slide. Unfortunately origin is going away.

I am thinking about using hybrid String in my Percept 100, Poly Tour in Mains and Rexis Comfort in Cross. What do you think?

Some don't like firestorm or luxilon element, they become too difficult to control. Also i feel almost all poly produce much much more spin in full bed vs in hybrid with multi. Anyway, i my case i don't have a choice, i have to use hybrid due to arm and shoulder pain if i use full bed poly

I mix hyper g with lynx touch on my blade v8 18x20 cuz I think full bed hyper g lacks the touch I need

HyperG 18g soft (main) 48 lbs and Syn gut 17 g (cross) 46lbs. This seem to be a good combination for a junior 12U

im about to hybrid Volkl Cyclone on the main and tnt gamma react on crosses. anyone know if that'll be an issue?

People don't mix hyper g bc it's bright green... that's its main selling point

I'm really enjoying the new Lynx Touch as a cross with Confidential mains. Lynx Touch is round and, although soft as a whole, has a hard poly outer layer that will last longer and allow snap-back better than any multi.

I tried a Hybrid with Hyper G twice and I didn't like it. The strings doesn't move and snap back. Once with a wilson multi and now with a soft yonex poly. Going full bed next time.

Poly relies on the snap back effect to work. If the hybrid string you use stops this process then it will effect the playability.

You're in Greenbrae? What club is that you play at?

Certain poly's may not hybrid well with multi or syn gut, but almost all poly's hybrid well with a softer, slick, round poly cross, of which Tier One Ghost Wire is IMHO the best of the lot when considering playability and tension maintenance. If you need to go even softer, look to the silicone (rubber) infused poly's: IsoSpeed Cream and Yonex Poly Tour Air. A stiffness scale for all three: GW (stiffest) > Cream > YPTA (softest). That said, 19G Ghost Wire is also as soft or softer than many multi's. Give all of the above a try; I think you'll be quite pleasantly surprised at the ability to "hybrid" more poly's with other poly's (for example: Hyper-G or Confidential mains with Ghost Wire crosses is an insanely good combo!).

I use Yonex Poly Tour Pro in the mains and Yonex Dynawire in the crosses in a hybrid setup on an EZone 98+. I’ve tried a dozen hybrid setups and this is what I like the best so far. 48# all around.

I haven't tried hybriding those two, but played with them separately in full beds, liked the PT Pro in a friend's Ezone. I hybrid Yonex PolyTour REV with a Yonex PolyTour Spin G together at the same tension 48/49 lbs, they're both great, but one feels more muted than the other and by combining them both - my shots are silent but with the perfect amount of feel from the PolyTour REV on the mains! ... Also tried a 2 lb tension difference from mains to crosses with no difference in feel/playability, so just stuck with same tension all around. 48 is perfect, but only lasts me a few matches, 49 seems to last almost a month (playing 2-3 times a week.) These strings are what I found when I was looking for a complete RPM Rough replacement for a better price (around $170 / reel on eBay :) ... Use it on the newest Yonex Vcore Pro 97 and the Vcore 98 before I upgraded (needed more stability on my one handed backhand, hence maybe why Shapovalov replaced his Vcore 95... ;) Haven't tried these strings in the Ezone 98/+, it unfortunately gave me an elbow pain in the first 5 minutes of demoing, which I never experienced in my 30+ years of playing tennis. Maybe it was the cheap TW demo tennis strings, felt good with the PT Pro in my friend's Ezone 98 during the warm up ... ;)

I am not a hard hitter but when i string multi babolat exel on main and hyper g soft as cross... The multifiliament broke in 11 days...

Agree with the gut as a hybrid and not the multi. My daughter when she was13 would break the multi/poly hybrid in a few hours at practice. The Gut was much better

I always string my brothers racquet, and he loves to use hyper g 18g on the main and alu power soft 16L on the cross and he says it’s the perfect combination. He preferred that over full bed of hyper G, he plays with a pure aero customized. And for me I always mix solinco confidential 17G with Head Hawk touch 18g with a Yonex Ezone 100 customized and I feel like it gives excellent feel with a lot of pocket(I play with a lot of topspin).

Hyper G with Alu is great! Confidential with Alu is awful!!

String wonkiness. I've never seen this kind of discussion on forum boards.

Hyper G in hybrid with multi will lose control and spin due to too soft of string bed

My favourite hybrid setup is Dunlop black widow 1.30 mains 53lb with head rip control 1.25 crosses 52lbs. The issue is that I cannot find the Dunlop any more where I leave and straggling to find a substitute. Any thoughts on what I can use instead?

Tourna Black 7 is very similar to Dunlop Black Widow

I won’t hybrid two different kinds of strings. When I hybrid, it’s always two polys.
