Current Strings in Stock

Luxilon 4G 1.25 & 1.30 mm
$22
One of the best polys known for control, tension maintenance, and comfort.
Plenty of spin potential as well.

Luxilon ALU Power Rough 1.25 mm
$22
High quality, textured, poly. Used on tour (often in a hybrid). Considered one of the best cross strings out there. Just ask Fed!

Tecnifibre Razor Soft 1.25 mm
$22
High-end round poly used by Medvedev.
Nice feel, with ample spin and control. It actually sounds great when hitting the ball.

Babolat RPM Blast 1.25 & 1.30 mm
$21
Probably the most well-known poly on the market. Nadal’s string of choice for its spin potential.

Yonex Poly Tour Pro 1.20 & 1.25 mm
$20
Great round poly for touch and control. Works well with a shaped poly main to add comfort and snapback (Ben Shelton style). Check out the section below for examples.

Solinco Tour Bite 1.20 & 1.25 mm
$15
Hugely popular poly with sharp edges for unreal amounts of spin and great control.
One of my best sellers and in my top 5!

Solinco Tour Bite 1.05 mm (20 gauge)
$15
The thinnest gauge on the market! Spin and power are way up, while durability is down. For players with compact swings that want super easy access to power.

Solinco Tour Bite Rough 1.20 mm
$15
Tour Bite’s round, textured version also offers good bite on the ball. Slightly more feel and ball-pocketing, and a great cross string that rivals ALU Rough.

Solinco Confidential 1.20 & 1.25 mm
$15
A fantastic, low-powered, crisp, five-sided poly for lots of spin. Has a long playability duration as well. My personal favorite!

Solinco Hyper-G 1.25 mm
$15
The string that put Solinco on the map. A shaped poly for tons of spin and control. Has a more muted feel and is popular on the pro tour.

Solinco Confidential Pink 1.20 & 1.25 mm
$15
Solinco’s very first string recoloring! Plays like a softer version of the OG Confidential. Still plenty of bite but a little more pop. They aren’t sure if this one will stick around. They need more feedback. So try it out while you can!

Solinco Hyper-G Soft 1.20 & 1.25mm
$15
Soft, shaped poly with high levels of control, spin, and feel. Another one of my faves.

Solinco Hyper-G Round 1.20 & 1.25 mm
$15
A round poly that’s great for accuracy, touch, and playability duration. Offers a little more power as well. Highly recommend.

Solinco Hyper-G Rough 1.25mm
$15
An unreleased string from Solinco that’s been on the back burner for years. This textured version of Hyper-G provides power and spin. Plays well in a hybrid setup. See section below!

Solinco CB-10JX 1.20 mm
$15
The next big thing from Solinco! This string gets sold as soon as it’s made. It has a smooth hitting sensation, offers decent spin and pop, and looks fantastic!

Solinco Confidential 3.0 LB5 1.20 mm
$15
This is a previous formulation of the 10JX.
A great string in its own right (they still produce it, after all). Plays similar to regular Solinco Confidential, main difference being a tad more power in this one.

Diadem Solstice Power
1.20 & 1.25 mm
$16
Diadem’s flagship string. A hexagram-shaped (Star of David), super sharp poly, for incredible spin potential.

Diadem Solstice Black
1.20 & 1.25 mm
$16
A softer version of Solstice Power with near identical spin, but better tension maintenance.

Gosen AK Pro CX (Natural & Black Spiral)
1.24 & 1.30 mm
$15
Gosen’s answer to Wilson NXT. More comfort, WAY better durability, AND costs less! Some even dare to compare this string to natural gut. It’s that good! Try it in a hybrid or on its own.

Diadem Evolution (Azure & Pink)
1.30 mm
$12
A soft, comfortable, and spinny string, specifically designed to be a durable cross that can withstand shaped polys.

Gosen OG-Sheep Micro (Black & White)
1.22 & 1.29 mm
$6
Highly-rated, slick, synthetic gut;
Good fullbed for a classic feel or hybriding with almost any poly.

Signum Pro Thunderstorm 1.24 mm
$12
A ten-sided, twisted poly for spin and control. Plays similar to ALU Power Rough.
Good budget poly. Great if you like purple.

Hybrid Setups you may want to try!

Solinco Tour Bite /
Yonex Poly Tour Pro

My advanced private lesson clients love this setup. Tour Bite never felt so good with PTP crosses adding comfort and spin from its smooth coating. This hybrid provides a predictable response as well.

Solinco Confidential /
Yonex Poly Tour Pro

Like the above with Tour Bite, this one adds comfort to Confidential without negating spin. I’d recommend this one over the other if you prefer a slightly deader feel. This was my setup for a bit.

Gosen AK Pro CX /
Luxilon ALU Power Rough

The “Champion’s Second Choice,” this hybrid mimics the setup that Roger Federer used during his career. While he had natural gut mains, AK Pro CX is a great alternative. Power, comfort, and spin, all in one!

Solinco Confidential /
Solinco Hyper-G Rough

The HG Rough crosses in this setup make for extra snapback from the crisp Confidential, allowing for loads of spin. There’s a great blend of bite, feel, and a little more power in this one. I’m particularly fond of this hybrid for myself.

Solinco Confidential /
Solinco Tour Bite Rough

While this hybrid is quite similar to the previous one, i.e. spin and feel, there’s something unique as well. The sweetspot delivers a super-satisfying sensation and sound that you don’t get with many other setups.

Solinco Hyper-G Soft /
Gosen OG Sheep Micro

The perfect hybrid for someone trying out poly string for the first time. I use this for my younger junior tournament players and my ~3.0 clients. Even more advanced players will be surprised how much they enjoy the spin and comfort of this setup.

Solinco 10JX /
Solinco Hyper-G Rough

The “Unreleased Hybrid” from Solinco. Like the one with Confidential, it provides plenty of spin. However, it’s a softer feel due to the JX mains. It also has the potential to look awesome in your racquet!

Diadem Solstice Power /
Diadem Evolution

The Diadem-recommended hybrid. The soft but durable Evolution adds comfort to the stiffer Solstice mains. Both still provide huge amounts of spin. Solstice Black would work here as well.

Bumper and Grommet replacement: $15

If you have the grommets I will fit them to your racquet.

Overgrips for purchase

Diadem Pro Feel
$2 each

Sincerely great grip. I use it.
Stays tacky and is quite durable.
