Our Journey
YTEX was founded with a simple goal: to create innovative tennis strings that deliver exceptional performance while remaining comfortable and arm-friendly.
In 2014, Ivor Savage acquired YTEX because he believed there was an opportunity to bring something different to the tennis market. Too many players were forced to choose between performance and comfort.
As a lifelong tennis player, coach, stringer and former South African National Top 30 player and USTA 10.0 Mix Doubles National Champion, Ivor understands the importance of confidence in your equipment. Players deserve strings that allow them to swing freely, generate spin and play aggressive tennis without unnecessary strain on their arm.
Since then, YTEX has continued to focus on softer, more arm-friendly co-polyester tennis strings trusted by players, coaches, clubs and stringers.
Performance and comfort should work together.

Meet The Owner
My name is Ivor Savage, and my mission is simple: to help players enjoy the benefits of modern polyester strings without the arm pain that often comes with them.
As a former South African National Champion, coach, stringer and lifelong student of the game, I have spent decades understanding what players truly need from their equipment.
After acquiring YTEX in 2014, I saw an opportunity to build a brand focused on something many larger companies overlooked — comfort. While most manufacturers chased stiffness and durability, YTEX focused on developing softer co-polyester strings that deliver exceptional spin, control and feel while remaining easier on the arm.
Today, YTEX products are trusted by players, coaches, clubs and stringers around the world who believe high performance should never come at the expense of arm health.
