NEUTRAL – No stand out strength or weakness
Upgrade: Head Sonic Pro Hybrid

The best string for uncertain players – Helps find out what your game is missing
Academy
Yonex Poly Tour Pro – “Poly Tour” (Polyester)
HIGH DURABILITY/CONTROL – Softer feel than Babolat Pro Hurricane but not as forgiving with off centre hits (prone to breaking near the frame).
Babolat Pro Hurricane – “Pro Hurricane” (Polyester)
HIGH DURABILITY/CONTROL – Harder feeling that the Yonex Poly Tour Pro and slightly higher durability
Head IntelliTour – “Intelli” (Polyester Hybrid)
POWER – For flatter hitters who want more power from their strings. Good control but not as much as the performance strings as hybrids.
Professional
Babolat RPM Blast – “RPM Blast” (Polyester)
SPIN/POWER – Octagonal Shape – For players that create a lot of racket head speed. Softer than most polyesters so easier on the arm (not as soft as Sonic Pro though!). Fantastic tension maintenance.
Luxilon Alu Power Big Banger – “Big Banger” (Polyester)
CONTROL – Top used string on tour – Unmatched control. Not very forgiving/doesn’t generate much power (need to hit through the shot)
Tecnifibre X-One Biphase – “Biphase” (Mulitfilament)
COMFORT – Good if you have any wrist or shoulder problems. Fantastic shock absorption with good control, power and spin potential. Will fluff up with use
Natural Gut
Champions Choice – “Champs Choice” (Polyester/Natural Gut)
CONTROL/FEEL/COMFORT + more power than Big Banger on its own – Due to the natural gut this will soften the feel of the string and increase the power and touch the player has
Wilson Natural Gut – “The Cloud” (Natural Gut)
SUPER FEEL/COMFORT – Like the name suggests! Amazing feel of the ball. Not as much spin potential as Champs Choice but an unbelievable string choice with incredible comfort.
