Tecnifibre Razor Spin String Review
I got my hands on the new Tecnifibre Razor Spin a little after Jonas put out his first look at the string, and after a full playtest I have to say I quite like it. That might come as a surprise from me, because I’m usually not a fan of four-sided strings. Square profiles tend […]
HEAD Velocity MLT String Review – The Control-Oriented Multifilament
A durable, arm-friendly multifilament that prioritizes control over power. My go-to recommendation for players transitioning from poly or dealing with arm issues. I’ve played with HEAD Velocity MLT on and off for years now, and it’s become one of my default recommendations when players ask about comfortable strings that still offer decent control. It’s not […]
Toroline A5 – their best string yet?
Toroline is an up-and-coming string company that is perhaps the most prolific in the industry when developing new products. Is Toroline A5 their best string yet? What is Toroline A5, and what makes it stand out among their other strings? The string is engineered with a polymer blend and made for modern swing speeds thanks […]
Toroline O’Toro Octa Review: Controlled Spin with a Predictable Launch
I put Toroline O’Toro Octa on my Head Speed MP, a frame I know like the back of my hand, so it didn’t take long to figure out what this string was doing. It felt like a modern spin-control poly that puts stability at launch ahead of flash right away. It doesn’t want to wow […]
Genesis Infinite Blue 1.23 Review: A Crisp, Spin-Friendly Poly That Deserves More Attention
Even though Genesis isn’t the most well-known brand in the tennis string market, you occasionally come across a string that makes you question why it isn’t used more frequently. For me, one of such strings is Genesis Infinite Blue 1.23. After using it on the court for a while, I think this is a beautiful […]
Luxilon Element Soft Review: Controlled Comfort with a Smoother Response
I tested Luxilon Element Soft in my Wilson Blade 98 V9 (16×19), a frame that already leans toward connected feel and controlled power so it was the perfect platform to see whether this string genuinely softens the experience without turning it into a trampoline. Straight away, Element Soft felt like Luxilon’s attempt to bridge the […]
Genesis Hexonic Power Tennis Strings 2.0 (1.28 mm) Review – Strong Bite with Balanced Control
I tested Genesis Hexonic 2.0 (1.28mm) in my Blade V9 98, a frame that already leans into control, feel, and connected response. That made it a perfect platform to see what this thicker 1.28 gauge version actually brings to the table. From the first rally, Hexonic 2.0 felt purposeful. This isn’t a flashy, elastic poly […]
Ultra-thin gauge strings – a playtest
We all usually play strings in between a 1.20 and 1.30mm gauge on average, even if some of us go thinner or thicker depending on the type of string. This rule of thumb has been embedded deeply in the minds of players apparently, as you hardly find recommendations outside of this norm. But recently, string […]
Wilson Sensation Comfort Review – The Steady Eddy of Multifilaments
Wilson Sensation Comfort Natural is a no-drama, gets-the-job-done multifilament that’s quietly turned into one of the most requested strings in my customer base. Juniors get on with it straight away, club regulars stick with it, and for anyone chasing comfort, easy power and something they can simply trust, it’s one of the safest options you […]
Toroline O’Toro Spin Review – Heavy Spin, Firm Response, Hidden Feel
Toroline O’Toro Spin is one of those strings that makes you stop and think about what you’re really feeling. It looks like a modern, spin-first co-poly that goes well with O’Toro Tour on paper. It plays more complicated than that on the court. I tried it out a lot in the Head Speed MP, and […]
