Comments on: An arm-friendly poly hybrid? This Physical Therapist thinks so… http://www.gutsandglorytennis.com/blog/2012/03/an-arm-friendly-poly-hybrid-this-physical-therapist-thinks-so/ Fri, 17 May 2013 15:54:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: ChicagoJack http://www.gutsandglorytennis.com/blog/2012/03/an-arm-friendly-poly-hybrid-this-physical-therapist-thinks-so/#comment-2549 ChicagoJack Thu, 21 Jun 2012 03:09:01 +0000 http://www.gutsandglorytennis.com/blog/?p=1902#comment-2549 Cool, cool. I'm intrigued, but I'm not quite "getting it" I guess. The string is designed to have the poly in the main, the syth in the crosses, and the crosses strung higher than mains? It seems so erm.. backwards. Won't reversing the traditional hybrid set up inhibit the mains from sliding freely on the crosses? You'd loose the incremental spin gained from the snap back. Am I missing something? Thanks! Cool, cool. I’m intrigued, but I’m not quite “getting it” I guess.

I would suggest 51/55, a difference of 4 lbs between mains and crosses. 50/55 on a POGOS should be close. I would suggest 51/55, a difference of 4 lbs between mains and crosses.

Because of the savings, I ordered the Dual Reality string today. I will try about 50/55, unless you think I should do something else. If they don't work I will try your other recommendations. Looking forward to the experiment! Thank you. Because of the savings, I ordered the Dual Reality string today. I will try about 50/55, unless you think I should do something else.

In terms of strings you can stay with the multi at your tension or even a couple pounds lower and you should be fine. Durability will be an issue. You could go with a softer poly main...something like a Silverstring or MSV Focus Hex blended with a soft solid core like Signum Pro Ultra Power SF of L-TEC FLX. If using the later setup you can drop tension to no more than 52 mains with 56 crosses. The POG OS has a history of being a healthy frame.

I am going to try Prince Original Graphite OS and am looking for a string recommendation and maybe tension recommendation too. (I have been using multi 16 gauge strung at 61 lbs with my Wilson H6 110.) I find that I am happy with playability of most strings. I am looking for durability (I am hard on strings and heard that POG OS is too), strings that I don't have re-adjust after every point would be nice. Final(and perhaps most important) preference is for a string that is easy on my arm. Any ideas? Thank you. I have been dealing with arm problems (shoulder and elbow).

We do not have it available online as of yet. Have been playtesting for the past 60 days. Just as we've come to expect from WeissCANNON, it's a solid performing string with a strange name. It is called...get ready..."The Big Fantum." Yep, that's the name. We will try to get it up and available in the next 7 - 10 days. It just arrived. We do not have it available online as of yet.

It is currently clearing customs. We should have it by next week. WeissCANNON is VERY excited by the performance of both of these new offerings.
