Alpha - Set

Alpha as hybrid

Been searching for some time now for a cross string to hybrid with my preferred string (Restring Zero) in the mains. I'm a big hitter and hit heavy spin as well. I play with a Head Radical Pro, strung around 50lbs give or take a few lbs based on conditions, and while I absolutely love how a full bed of Restring Zero works, its a bit demanding, just a bit harsh, and I've been trying to find a cross string hybrid to soften it just a touch but not lose any of the character of Zero - that crazy spin and snapback that lasts until the end, and the consistency of playability that lasts up to the break point. After trying many many strings, Alpha works GREAT! Specifically, it maintains consistent play for the full duration and doesn't "fall off" like other poly strings do. And, perhaps most importantly, it stays "slippery" against the mains in a consistent way and doesnt notch and change character early- or ever. In my experience, this is rare. Zero against itself stays consistent, but any other string against Zero has not stayed consistent, until finding Alpha. Really really happy with this combo...lost nothing and gained a little feel and a little softness. Highly recommend this string if you are searching for something similar. The only other combo I've found similar, and its been an exhaustive search, is IsoSpeed V18. Worth noting the V18 also has a thinner guage option, which in my opinion is also desireable for a cross string. Thanks Grapplesnake for making a great string in Alpha!

Impressive

These strings provide great bite and spin potential without the unwanted stiffness of many other polys. Paired this in a hybrid setup with Babolat VS gut and after three sessions I'm quite impressed.

Seemed nice

Seemed like a nice string but broke when stringing crosses so I was not able to try it.
