Solinco Hyper-G 16L / 1.25mm Tennis String Set

really powerful, great feeling strings

String came quickly and is playing as advertised. Great strings for getting spin.

Where can I begin with this string? I got the 17 Gauge at 50 lbs - Here's how it went: 1. The first 60 minutes of using this string, coming from a Babolat RPM I immediately thought "This is the biggest mistake I've ever made. JESUS are these strings STIFF and hard on the arm! I thought my shoulder was going to fall off after playing with this. First string that gave me such intense pain after playing. The spin was so intense that a lot of my shots were getting caught by the net, I had to adjust my swing path to make this string reach the opponent's baseline. It's very low powered and had to muscle through the ball to get some depth. 2. Three days after using it for the first time, I noticed the strings felt a lot better, softer and gripped the ball a lot better. My shots got faster, with increased control and direction. 3. Two days after that, I'm in love with these strings. I got the hang of it and now my slice serve is an actual weapon. The balls are curving and landing hard, cutting quickly to the sides, my opponents are really having a hard time returning that serve. After the first use, I almost ripped them off my racket to go back to the RPM's... but now that they settled in, these might just be the best strings I've ever used. Let's see how long they hold before needing a replacement.

Great string, perfect for hybrid set-up.

If you hit with top spin and want a powerful grippy string this is it! my hole family likes that string (myself, wife and daughter. Especially good compliment if you play with a control Raquet like Blade, it will give extra ump and spin.

Really like this string, with one minor ding that I'll get to. For reference, I have this in a Wilson Pro Staff 97CV, strung at 48lb mains/46lb crosses. As a former tennis elbow sufferer, was hesitant to go full-bed poly again, but this string and tension is marvelous. Very soft, and excellent spin. I can swing out and get a nasty drop-in near the baseline. My one-handed backhand especially benefits from this. Serves also benefit from the spin. Slice and kick are really spinny, although flat serves take a little more effort due to the low power. Flattening shots is a little more difficult, as well as defensive shots on the run. I like to flick the racket almost like a squash shot, and have trouble getting any pace/depth on these defensive shots with this string. I'm trying Tier One Firewire Boost in my other Pro Staff (see my review on it for a similar comparison), which in a nutshell has more overall power (for me) but a little less spin and control. Hyper-G pros: spin, control, comfort, serve spin Firewire Boost pros: easier power, flatter groundstroke, flat serves, crisper but still comfortable at 52/48 Both are very good string combos, so it's they're basically in a playoff to earn the rights to stay in the Pro Staffs. I may actually stick with both and use Hyper-G for singles and Firewire Boost for doubles. Hope this helps,

Durable, great value,

Really like this string, great spin, nice feel, and comfortable. It plays crisp without being too stiff. One of my favorites so far

Solo conocedores….

Ich bin mit der Qualität der Saite sehr zufrieden.

Le prime due ore di gioco sembrano corde con una risposta secca e poco piacevole. Man mano che si gioca la sensazione migliora e anche gli effetti che si danno alla palla diventano piú accentuati. . Le corde non sono adatte a giocatori amatoriali, men che meno ai neofiti. Necessitano di un braccio allenato.

Very reasonable price with good quality product.

If I had my own stringing machine or unlimited budget for restrings I’d definitely use Hyper-G and cut the strings after each time I play. Plays beautifully for first 3 hours or so, then turns to mush.
