YTEX Quadro Twist Tennis String 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 little softer than the white 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: White.
Length: 40ft/12m and 660ft/200m
Gauge: 16L (1.26mm)
Construction: Carbon + Co-Polyester.
Advantage: Power combined with great spin and feel.

I'm impressed with string, their soft poly. I'm using a custom Clash with hybrid stringing. Quadro twist at 49 and gut at 53. Very easy on the arm serve is hitting target. Its really to soon to know the wear pattern. I strung my 1 custom with ytex liked them so much I restrung my 2cd. Thnks YTex.
Strings have good spin, decent power, and good control. I string @ 70lbs on my Yonex Vcore Pro. Tried stringing at 65 lbs but found it is too loose when tension drop to 55lbs (after 3 match). At 70lbs, tension dropped to about 60lbs after 3 plays, and holds at 59-60lbs.
Whatever tension you want your string to be, just give this about 5-10 lbs more and you should be good.
This string is comparable to Babolat RPM. Only difference is that the RPM lose more tension than the Quadro Twist.
Love the Control and Spin with Quadro Twist!! Love the feel as well!

I have really loved the way that Ytex QuadroTwist, SquareX and the rest of the Ytex strings play and string up. I’m still searching for a more durable string in their family. I hav also been a little disappointed that the individual sets are not 40’ feet but are sometimes a foot to 18” short which sometimes is a problem when I do a blend Ytex and a synthetic.
This string is all I ever wanted when it comes to affordability, durability, and spin capability. The softness is easy on the shoulder but still results in a good ball. Overall excellent 👍
Love the spin and durability of YTEX Quadro Twist strings, while being easy on the elbow!
Great texture for spin production! Soft composure for nice power. Deep ball pocketing for more dwell time and control. I highly recommend this string for anyone looking for a more forgiving and lively poly string. Alao for those who have gotten injuries from playing with stiffer strings like lux alu power. I do however recommend the black over white. The two play like almost completely different strings. I have found the black to have more of the qualities stated above and the white to be more like a traditional poly. If you haven't given the quadro twist a try I would highly recommend, you won't be disappointed!
Great feel and touch. Offers great control and excellent pop!
