What YTEX Strings Players are saying
Tired of choosing between spin and a sore elbow?
Most poly strings give you bite or comfort – never both.
Quadro Twist’s four-edge twist grips the ball and absorbs impact, so you hit heavier topspin without the post-match ice pack.

YTEX Quadro Twist's FAQs

I tested the Quadro Twist (black 1.26) and Hexagon X (red 1.25) in two Wilson Blade Pro V8 18x20 racquets strung at 47lbs. Both sets were on the racquets for about 10 hours of play time before conducting the test. The criteria was:
1. Comfort: Simply how it feels when the ball contacts the string bed (very subjective)
2. Control: Based on hitting smaller targets (20 balls in drill)
3. Spin-friendly: Based on the height of the ball bounce (20 balls in drill)
4. Power: Trying to hit lower, penetrating shots (20 balls in drill)
All testing was with a ball machine to eliminate variability from a hitting partner.
1. Comfort: The Quadro Twist was more comfortable.
2. Control: Quadro Twist = 18 and Hexagon X = 15
3. Spin-friendly: Quadro Twist = 17 and Hexagon X = 15
4. Power: Quadro Twist = 8 and Hexagon X = 11
The least accurate was related to Power as I was personally struggling with this aspect of my game...Not the fault of the strings.
Based on this, and the fact that both strings were playing well at the 10 hour mark, I'll be ditching the Head Velocity MLT and using the Quadro Twist. But, I also enjoyed the Hexagon X!

Tried ytex on a whim when I heard about square x sharp. Thought it would be a novelty and I'd be back to searching around to find something that would fit my needs and protect my elbow. Immediately noticed a difference. Play tested several others but their flagship ended up checking all the boxes for me. I string an ezone 100 with a full bed of quadro twist black at 48lbs. Spin generation and power with full cuts from the baseline have helped my rally depth tremendously. First serves still pop, but my confidence with kick and slider has gone through the roof. Anyone looking to get into the brand should start here and see what it does for them!

I gifted 2 sets of YTEX Quadro Twist black to a 4.5 student who needed new strings in her Head Radical MP racquets. Strung at 45 pounds, she felt the racquets came alive with great spin and comfort. She couldn't be happier! She'll be another long term customer.

My college players love these strings. They are arm friendly for my players that have arm problems and they love the feel and spin it gives them.

I used to string my rackets hybrid style until I came in contact with the Ytex Quadra Twist strings. I no longer need a hybrid pattern due to these strings, giving me the power control, spin and elbow safety that I require. I play with a Head Radical and string the mains at 42 and the crosses at 40.

I made the change to give my injured wrist a break from stiff polyester strings, and I got a little more power and spin too. So far so good. I installed this string on the mains and X One on the crosses. I think it’s a great combination.
