5 Spin-friendly strings
Best tennis strings for spin
Based on lab tests and on-court testing, we found the five following strings to offer tremendous amounts of spin. For players looking to create extra action on the ball, these are all great options depending on your preferences and playing style.
Weis Cannon Ultra Cable is a crisp and firm feeling copolyester. It offers players the ability to take full swings and aggressive cuts to the ball while maintaining control. Enhance touch shots, slice serves and heavy groundstrokes with loads of spin.
While the 17 gauge of the Tecnifibre Black Code 4S offers slightly more spin potential than the thicker 16 gauge version, both options are spin friendly. Granting a firm response and an excellent connection to the ball, this co-polyester is geared towards the advanced level player. Players who like to hit big and prefer a string with maximum control, spin and durability will love this option.
Volkl Cyclone 18L not only provides an extremely comfortable, yet firm feel, but it is also elastic and forgiving upon contact. This polyester string will help you generate enormous amount of bite on the ball and is a bit livelier than your average polyester.
Another option from Volkl is Cyclone Tour. This polyester will also feel lively and fairly soft. On court we found it to afford a high launch angle and generous amounts of power to complement its massive spin potential.
Lastly, the honorable mention of the group is a synthetic gut, perfect for players searching for an arm-friendly and spin-friendly choice. Gosen AK Control is substantially softer and more comfortable than comparable polyesters and co-polyesters. Pair this synthetic gut with a polyester in the main or cross strings to ramp up the revolutions on your shots.
