Misinformation on Tennis String
I am constantly amazed by the misinformation that prevails concerning tennis racquets and tennis strings. The prevailing notion among many tennis players is that using the same equipment that tour players use, just has to make them better players. The truth is very far from that; At least for the most part.
Let's start with strings.
Tennis strings have improved tremendously over the past 10 years. For years it was virtually impossible to get good feel and durability from the same string. Now there are many strings that provide durability, comfort, and spin potential. Most of these strings are called co-poly or copolymer strings.
For years we have been hearing how most tour pros use "Big Banger" strings. And now RPM Blast is all the rage. To clarify Big Banger is a cool catch phrase that Luxillon puts some of its string packaging. Actual string names are Luxillon Alu Power or Luxillon Adrenaline.
RPM Blast is a cool looking octagonal shaped black string from Babolat. Many professional, hard hitting junior and college players like these strings for a few reasons. Because these strings are pretty firm, advanced players are able to take bigger swings and keep the ball in the court. And due to the texture and/or shape of these strings, potential for additional spin is excellent. But most of all they are extremely durable. Most tennis players including professionals cut these particular types of strings out of their racquets before they break due to tension loss.
We constantly hear how much spin and control these strings provide. But we seldom hear the negative issues associated with them. While the stiffness of these strings is a benefit for some players, it is a detriment to many more. Wrist, elbow, and shoulder pain is a constant complaint from players. And they tend to lose tension much quicker than you would expect. Especially considering what they cost.
There are many co-poly strings that are very durable and much softer than the most popular ones. Kirschbaum Pro Line 2, Poly Star Energy, Solinco Tour Bite, and Luxillon XP are all excellent co-poly strings. Cost for stringing varies from around $33.00 for Poly Star Energy to $43.00 for Luxillon XP.
We carry all of these great strings at Hardcore Tennis.
