String for the ATP Top 50
After a period of intensive testing, the Solinco Hyper-G , the new string of ATP top player Donald Young , is now available. The square co-polyester construction of the Hyper-G provides a perfect balance between spin and control, making it a popular choice among competitive players.
Technology and Playability
Square Shape for Spin and Control
The Solinco Hyper-G has a sharp square shape, which offers two important advantages:
- Extra grip on the ball to generate more spin and slice.
- Longer ball-string contact time , which provides better steering and control over the ball. This is especially beneficial for players who play a lot with topspin, but also offers advantages for those who have a more flat stroke.
Medium Stiffness
In terms of stiffness, the Hyper-G is somewhere between the Solinco Tour Bite and the Tour Bite Soft . It is a medium-stiff string, which is ideal for players who can generate speed themselves with a full swing. Because the Solinco Hyper-G is a low-powered string, you don't have to worry about overheating while hitting.
Spin Potential
One of the standout features of the Solinco Hyper-G is the extra "ballbite" it offers. This allows you to easily create large angles with your shots, which is especially nice for players who play with a lot of topspin. In addition, the extra margin that this string offers ensures better control, even if you have a somewhat flatter shot.
Comfort and Response
Despite its focus on control and spin, the Hyper-G offers surprisingly good comfort. Many strings in this genre can feel quite stiff when they are strung tightly, but that is not the case with the Solinco Hyper-G . The comfort level remains high, even at higher string tensions. This makes the string attractive to a wider audience that is looking for playing comfort in addition to spin and control.
The Hyper-G also offers a direct feel and response, so you can clearly feel when you hit the ball well, which contributes to control during play.
