Tennis strings praised for exceptional spin and control. Customers said these are "the softest" poly strings, arm-friendly with great feel. Many noted excellent power and durability. However, some found them stiff or too powerful for flat hitters, with one elbow concern. Popular for serves and hybrids.
- These strings are the BOMB! I didn't have to over swing or change my swing for power, spin or control!
- The spin was great but what really sold me on it was how sweet the feel is.
- The best string I ever had.
YTEX has incredibly high-quality strings and customer support.
Twisted X sharp has excellent feel, very good power and spin friendly.
Tournament this weekend and will be playing the Twisted and Quadro!
Really enjoyed playing a few sets with this string. Plenty of power, but enough spin to keep control of the ball. Plays pretty plush even strung a couple pounds tighter than my normal tension.
Players love the Spin, Power and tension control these strings provide! A lot of my to players are now using these strings!
My personal opinion is that these strings are better than LX or TF, especially when it comes to spin, durability and power
Soft yet controlable! We are switching to Square X
i love the strings they have good bite, power, feel, and obviously spin. Ytex is my favorite poly
I bought the strings to improve on spin. I have notices significant improvement in spin with square x strings. Especially while serving, it a game changer.
They were very easy to.install. no friction burn on crosses or grommets as i have seen with other pollies. Recoil was workable and had no issues.with the string kinking. Strung the racquet 2 ahead. Stringbplayed with plenty of power and control. My error i strung it at 50lbs will bump that up a bit next time. Using a previously strung 3 times wilson blx 6.1 18x20.
Strung at 45lbs in a 2023 Pure Aero. I am impressed and enjoying it. Might go a few lbs tighter (thinking 48) but I liked it enough to order a reel already.
Full disclosure – I received my set of strings as a free playtest set from Ivor
Typically, I play with a natural gut or multifilament full bed of strings (Babolat X-One Biphase @ 50 lbs in the mains, 48 lbs in the crosses), but occasionally when I feel like experimenting, I’ll put poly in my crosses @ 46 lbs.
When Ivor reached out, I indicated that I preferred multifilament strings because they were softer on my arm, and he said that the Quadro Twist Black was a very soft co-poly. He was right! The Quadro Twist Black was probably the softest string outside of multifilament or natural gut I’ve ever used, so I would definitely recommend them for people who like soft strings, and especially for people who want to try a poly, but don’t want the harsh feel.
For me, I felt like they played somewhere in between a multifilament and a poly. Not as much spin as a full poly, but more than the multi. Also, I felt like I got less pop than multi, but more than a poly. Compared to natural gut, the Quadro Twist Black felt more muted, but were a great control string.
The best string I ever had.
The string had the spin I was looking for but it hurt my elbow after a couple games so I had to switch back to my other racket.
Good alternative to Grapplesnake game changer. Only played a few sets so I cannot comment on durability. I'm using in hybrid with slick round in crosses.
I demo'd the Square X sharp and was very impressed. I used it in the mains with a round poly cross, and immediately knew that I had found my new setup. The spin was great but what really sold me on it was how sweet the feel is. I'm a local stringer and will be recommending it to my players that are using other square shaped strings.
I received the order 3 days ago and have been able to hit twice so far. I was pleasantly surprised by the spin on my kick serves and the best sound when hitting aggressively. So far so good!
Here's my assessment. I keep forgetting how arm friendly the set is. I tried it yesterday while doing a hitting session. Strung at 48 lbs on a prince phantom 100 18X20. It didn't have the stiff feel as compared to a Dunlop black widow or the Solinco confidential. The control plus bite was there.
I'm 61 and my hard hitting days are pretty much over. I now use my opponents pace and the set is actually perfect for my type of game. This is my opinion of the set . I'm sure everyone might think differently.
57 year old 4.5 rated player needs as much help as possible. I’m always looking for an edge to compete while growing older and older. Well, these strings are the BOMB! 💣 I played a 4.5-5.0 match yesterday and these strings perform! I didn’t have to over swing or change my swing for power, spin or control! Strung the mains at 42 lbs and the crosses at 40. Tried to upload a quick video but it’s too large.
Love the strings, the spin, the control and durability!
Stings are the softest ever that I played with. I don't feel the ball hitting my racquet. No need of dampers.
No compromise to Doing or power ever with lower string tension compared to my old strings
I just started playing with them and too early to tell, but so far they are easier in the arm and a little more power than ALU rough.
Spin is super high off of my left handed kick serve. I'd use these again.
Broke when stringing
If I remember correctly YTex strings are advertised as soft. Well if so, I don't share in the assessment. I went on to the court with the expectation that the string would be soft and I found that the string was stiff and board like. At the time of the order I was using M8 from Grapplesnake 17G and while the M8 has somewhat the same characteristics the M8 was much more forgiving.
I appreciate the opportunity to test the string at a discounted price. Thanks.
Love the spin and durability. Don’t feel a difference to Luxilon Element
Quattro twist white strings offer a lot of spin, to a noticeable degree. With that said, I found a lot of my shots flying long due to the power of this string, and control was also hard due to the launch trajectory I am not used to and am not a fan of. These strings were a big pain to string, so much coil memory and lots of stretch. Also the shopping experience became painful with so many automated follow up emails, some obnoxious. When I would write an email inquiry it did not get the same enthusiasm and the speed of response was not great
