🛠️ MY STRING REVIEW PROCESS
I test new strings on a weekly basis, never cutting corners. Each review is based on a full set of strings—often multiple sets—played until breakage. Throughout the testing period, I alternate between two identical, customized Head Gravity MPL racquets (16x20 string pattern, 325grams, 6pts Headlight, and 318 Swingweight) to ensure consistency. This method allows me to analyze key factors such as snapback, accuracy, power, durability, tension maintenance, and feel across multiple sessions. I benchmark every string against my go-to setups: Kirschbaum Orange and Head Lynx Tour.
