Hyper-G in short
Since 2014, Hyper-G has endured as the top string choice for tennis players around the globe. Developed for an ATP top 50 player, this shaped co-poly with an impressive combination of spin and precision allows big hitters to take massive cuts at the ball without having to worry about overhitting. The square profile with sharp edges bites the ball at contact, generating massive spin. Topspin players who like hitting balls that dive sharply and explode off the court should love this string. With an unmatched selection of 7 gauges from 15L to 20, there's a Hyper-G for every playing style.
Revolve Spin in short
Revolve Spin is a five-sided co-polyester string with two "wow" factors: spin and control. It's a niche string for big hitters who like ripping the felt off the ball and watching their shots land on a dime. The pentagonal shape bites the ball at contact for excellent spin generation. Quite firm and low powered, which is perfect for advanced players because it gives them the needed control to execute their most powerful strokes. At just $8-10 per set, it's one of the best value shaped polys on the market.
