String Description

YTEX Quadro Twist Tennis String Video Review By 5k Tennis

The Quadro Twist is our "Baby" and flagship string from YTEX.

If you are looking for a very' SOFT co-poly and a SPIN Monster...then this string is for you! This is the absolute best' string on the market you can get besides natural gut! RSI (Racquet Stringers Industry) rated the Quadro #1 in spin and #2 overall out of 157 strings they playtested. 

Quadro Twist has outstanding tension hold and is also highly recommended for the main or cross in a hybrid combination. If you've never played with a poly string then the Quadro is a great introduction for you to the poly world. 

Note: The black color on this string does play a SOFTER' than the white color so be sure to get the right color according to what you are looking for in a string. The Quadro is a little livelier so this one you can string a bit tighter than normal. 

Color: Black.
Length: 40ft/12m and 660ft/200m
Gauge: 16L (1.26mm)
Construction: Carbon + Co-Polyester.
Advantage: Power combined with great spin and feel.

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 Review By 5K Tenis

Engineered for Extreme Spin

Quadro Twist’s square-twist shape grips the ball, sending shots down fast instead of drifting long. That’s why the USRSA lab ranked it #1 for spin out of 157 strings.

"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."

Gentle on your arm

Softer than most polys. Players with elbow or wrist issues report pain-free hits. String it 2–4 lb tighter for steady control.

"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."

Works in Any Setup

Full bed or hybrid. Quadro Twist stays lively and holds tension. Black color plays a touch softer; white is slightly firmer.

Not Your Typical Poly

Most poly strings make you pick spin or comfort. Quadro Twist gives you both, plus better value every time you restring. Here’s how it stacks up against a typical polyester option.

YTEX Quadro Twist's FAQs

Is it safe for tennis-elbow sufferers?

•⁠  ⁠Recommemded by players dealing with arm discomfort
•⁠  ⁠⁠Arm-friendly string choice for players with tennis elbow

Quadro Twist’s low stiffness and vibration damping make it one of the most arm-friendly polys.

What tension should I use?

Start 2–4 lbs tighter than your usual poly for maximum control.

Durability vs RPM Blast?

Similar life for heavy hitters (6-10 hrs), longer playability for most club players due to better tension hold.

Black vs White colour?

Black plays ~5 % softer & livelier; white is slightly firmer for flatter hitters.

Does it work in hybrids?

Absolutely – many pros pair natural gut in mains with Quadro Twist crosses for spin + comfort.

Live the strings!!!

First time using these strings and I love them!! I really like the way it feels during my serve, I was able to have more control and spin without feeling too heavy. I’m ordering more to restring my other two rackets.

Happy with the strings...so far

I've only played with the new strings twice but so far I'm enjoying the feel. I'm getting better spin and control than I had with my previous stings. Hopefully they're durable as well.

Agree: More Topspin and Better for Elbow

I've had the string in place for two weeks. I saw more topspin immediately and a frequent hitting partner said the same thing. I could feel the string's softness as well. After about a week I hit without my tennis elbow brace and recognized that there was almost no pain in the elbow. More topspin and less arm pain are promotional points of the string and per my practical experience I agree. Another plus for me is that by stringing with a little less tension, I got a little more power and didn't feel any loss of control.

Quadro black twist

My daughters play tennis and both love the quadro black string. The eldest was having issues with her wrist and elbow, since we changed it to the quadro twist, her wrist and elbow are not bothering her anymore when she plays.

I usually use Babolat RPM/VS. I played a couple of sets this week and really did not feel much different. Your string is a little bit easier to string. I can tell it is softer, but I don’t know if it “performed “ any better

They are the best strings I’ve ever played with.

The feel of the ball is much livelier, and I’m able to generate more spin on the ball.

Enjoy the string, I felt my serve had a little more move ment on my kick serve.

Love the additional spin that added to my ground strokes, and serves.
