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.
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.

• 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.

Quadro Twist is a Winner
For some time, my go to string was the Luxilon Element Soft IR. I loved the pocketing, which gave great pop and spin, and the arm friendliness for a poly was great. The volley control wasn't the best and the tension loss is a known drawback, so knowing YTEX was well-known for arm friendly poly's I've been looking for a replacement within the YTEX line. I've tried several setups, including hybrids like Square X Sharp mains and Square X black crosses, Sharp mains and Quadro Twist black crosses, and Hexagon X red mains and Sharp crosses. I've also tried full bed Hex Red and most recently, full bed Quadro Twist. I liked each setup for different reasons, but ultimately the full bed Quadro is the winner. I have it string at 50 lbs in a Wilson Shift and it's a match made in heaven. The pocketing, serve pop, and spin are excellent, and the volley control at the net is pretty good as well. On top of all that, the arm friendliness is a great bonus. This is a special string, and I'm thrilled to see where things go from here.

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.
