ALU Power is the GOAT... But THIS Better

ALU Power is the greatest polyester string of all time. The problem is that it just doesn't last and it's too expensive. Can ReString Sync dethrone the king? With it's superior durability through amazing tension maintenance and long lasting snapback, it's certainly got a chance.

Fantastic video. I’m a rec player who plays 2-3 times a week. I use ALU Power Rough on a pro staff at 55lb. Off the stringer, it’s impeccable. My shots are full of confidence and intent. I feel like a god. But, after 3-4 sessions, I’m a completely different player. Almost no feel or control. Because the drop off is so drastic, I’ve been searching for alternatives. So I really appreciate this video. Definitely going to try these out.

First off, I loved the playful metaphors and great editing. Well done and keep up the good work! I can't help but think of Toroline when watching this video. Both small stringing companies with above par snap back and heavy KZfaqr praise. I would love to hear your opinion on a head to head comparison of their round offerings as crosses, i.e. Sync vs. Wasabi X vs. Enso Pro. I might even add Ghost Wire in there because they're also a small manufacturer. I enjoy supporting underdog companies; they're hungry for market share and quite frequently have high (or higher) quality products at more competitive prices.

@TennCom 3 ай бұрын

Thanks! I'm slowly working my way through optimal round poly's and the concept of poly-poly hybriding. If you haven't caught my last video, it's the beginnings of this exploration. Ghostwire, Hawk, PT Fire, Enso Pro, Irukandji are all on my radar. I've also got some Kirschbaum stuff on the way. Toroline's stuff definitely has a signature, more muted feel and i just strung up an experimental hybrid of Toro Toro/Enso yellow!

Agreed!!! Round strings typically allow you to play the way you want as well. Shaped strings the launch angle can get little erratic. Like you're meaning to flatten the ball out and hit through the court, but Hyper G launch angle gives you 4ft of net clearance. Tour Bite lets you flatten it out, but has so much spin on it that the first bounce is at the service line... Rounds strings (I use Poly Tour Pro) will give you PLENTY of spin with full and relaxed strokes. But what I like is the string does what you ask it to do as long as you do your part.

Great video, @tenncom I know you tried Torolines before. How'd you compare a full bed of Wasabi X (mentioned in the review) vs Sync. Both probably need to be 17 gauge? I pre-string everything on my CP electric stringing machine and pre-strung Torolines hold their tension really well: Wasabi, X, Enso Pro. They don't notch much, snap back great until their break and have balanced levels of power/spin/control. I doubt Sync is [much] better than this...

@TennCom 3 ай бұрын

I haven't tried WasX in a full bed. The Toroline stuff is softer and more muted feeling than a lot of strings on the market. If that's your jam, stick with it. I tried Enso Pro grey in a full bed and I liked it a lot but I notched it a lot faster than the Sync. This is because Sync is stiffer and I think ReString's coating is more slippery and longer lasting. I felt this way about Zero too. Sync is infinitely more connected than anyting I've tried from Toroline and that's also what I prefer. Had I felt as excited about Enso Pro or WasX, I would have made a full video on it. Sync was exciting enough for me to make full video on, something I didn't have to do, but wanted to.

I'm always confused on what "feel" stands for. Since Sync is control oriented, is it stiffer than zero? to me the soft/stiff variable determines feel.

@TennCom 3 ай бұрын

To me feel can be visualized on a compass. East/West being soft/stiff. North/South being muted/responsive. Stiffness wise, they feel quite similar to me, but Zero is very muted (feels softer than it is) and Sync vibrates a lot more (feels a bit stiffer). Another way to think about it, feel is just vibration. Vibrations travel in waves. Soft strings/racquets would have longer waves lengths, stiff setups would have shorter waves lengths, so you get more vibration with a stiff setup. However, the waves can also vary in amplitude. So you something muted would have low amplitude and something responsive would have a greater amplitude.

Ph tennis likes toro toro. They said its like a better version of 4g soft, which is supposedly a better option for alu power…

@TennCom 3 ай бұрын

Yeah that's psychotic. I like Toro Toro too, but its so far off the feel and control of anything Lux 4G that I struggle to understand how anyone could have that belief. It's more like a softer shaped poly-tour fire or lynx edge

luxilon alu power is not the most powerful string . Joker core is way better in tension, crispiness and power. I have compared the two strings at 50 lbs, dunlop 98 inch, tour, 2023. I have to say that joker string is by far more powerful. what amazing is the tention maintenance. I hope tennis warehouse should test

In a full bed, I find the lack of control and feel to affect my confidence too much for me to enjoy using it for match play. For durability/spin/power, its easily number 1 all time.

You can take it that way, if it suits you, but here's my perspective. I've been partnered with ReString for a year now. I was part of the development testing team for this product and contributed feedback to make this string what it is. I feel confident standing behind the product because I know the owners of the company are good people and the product suits my preferences. A huge amount of passion and labour went in to producing this content, writing the script, filming the b-roll, stringing the racquets and testing the strings. To produce a video of this caliber, I need to find ways to earn more money than the $30USD KZfaq pays, not because I'm in it for the money, but because I love making videos and I want each video to be better than the last, and that costs money. I've had several opportunities to work with other brands. Diadem, for example, is very open with their affiliate program, but I don't think enough of their products are produced to a sufficient standard for me to feel comfortable supporting them that way. So does ReString support TennCom financially through affiliate sales? Yes. Does that change anything about my passion for tennis and the search for the best tennis products out there? No.

Thanks. On another note, it was obvious that Jonas isn't that familiar with the RW/MGRI aspect of racquet fitting. My takeaway from that podcast was Dr. Godmode/Tenncon is the top "tennisnerd" in the game right now.

alu power is not a good string at all, first you have to be of a very good level to have a very high swing and very fast to control the ball, then it is very rigid, very expensive, and loses tension after 20 minutes of play, a real marketing rubbish

True is that this string is made to be hybrided (as cross!) with natural gut or top multi such as Gosen AK PRO CX. And this is my plan, once I got it from my mate from Portugal @tennisracketseu.
