First time user after seeing ads for a couple of years
First time user after seeing ads for a couple of years. I'm a senior player coming back to the game after a few years off. I didn't start playing until I was 51 and when I began my journet, it was with my son so I learned the modern game. That means arm and shoulder abuse - especially with modern equipment such as stiff rackets and poly strings.
At the start of this year, I tracked down several old, flexible rackets for sale on Ebay. My goal was to get some to use for practice to save my bod. I now carry rackets like the original Head Prestige Classic and 600, Rossignols and even some Yonex frames. These rackets are heavy BUT flexible. I quickly learned they allowed me to hit till I was I was tired - not sore.
At first I was using multi and syn gut strings to preserve the arm but eventually went back to poly and was fine. Not sure if my technique has improved or if it was because I was using such flexible sticks. Then the Head Squared was released followed by the Yonex Muse and suddenly I had modern equipment with Flex! I now carry 3 Squares and 3 Muse frames and find all of them to be "arm friendly" - even when fitted with Polys.
I then started experimenting with strings. I tried Toroline, Solincos big 3, Luxilon. Volkyl Cyclone and others. For my game, I find strings with an edge get me the best amount of spin even though round crosses are supposedly better performing. As many of you know, playing with edges tends to be more abusive to the arm and they don't wear the best but for me, I just love the spin and control. And after playing the Square X Sharp, a 4 sided string in a thin gauge, I'm happy to say they're not only arm friendly and generate tons of spin, they also provide very good feel. I'll be replacing my Hyper G's with this string which are about half of my sticks. And though I've yet to try the Quadro Twist set I also purchased, I'm hoping they're similar for my game. The only reason I didn't use them first is due to their thickness. I only found a 16 and I prefer a thinner string which is why I started with Square-X. Any chance the Quadro will be available in a thinner gauge or did I just miss it on your site? Thanks for your attention to detail and communication with your customers. I read as many of your newsletters as I can fit into my schedule and I'm looking forward to adding your strings to more of my sticks!

I really liked them
I really liked them. They are very comfortable and easy to put on the racket. It’s hot here in Arizona, so grips need to help with sweating hands. They performed better than any other brands I have used. I will continue using them.

My name is Anthony Maniaci. I've been playing tennis since I was 12 years old.. I played in high school and in college.. I coached for many years and I would like to say YTEK really has some amazing string ! For all different levels of players from beginner to expert. My favorite is the Quadro twist. It's truly the best string I've ever played with.! Depending where and what I'm playing on I play full quadrant twist, and sometimes I mix it with natural gut. I highly recommend. YTEK STRING YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT.!
