Feel im finally ready for polys
Been using multis and synthetic gut for a few years now. Was stuck in the C2/C1 level for a while (around 3.5). But recently my fitness has been top tier as well as my game and serve. Been crushing everyone in my level and made the jump to a higher category C1/B2. Felt that my serve, volleys and touch shots where on par with everyone and maybe even a bit better than most, but my forehand was lacking some snap. In this new level, I couldn’t win forehand cross court encounters. I resorted to play to their backhands and slicing.
But now, I decided i wanted to try some hybrid strings. Bit more expensive but why not. And woah! What a difference. I feel i have finally found the snap and power I was missing. I feel now I can finally loose my wrist and just create tons of power without the ball going long.
Haven’t played competitive yet with these new string setup since Im a bit injured rn, taking things slow but I feel such a difference in my forehand it’s crazy. Everything else feels kind if the same tbh, serves do feel a bit less powerful.
