<p>Well, I don't think G4 would be able to compete with that venerable hybirid combo. You'd be missing the touch and power of NRG2 and the bite of Alu Rough! </p>

Still not a match IMO for my favorite setup, NRG2 mains and ALU Rough crosses. Perhaps not as soft but control, power and spin all better

So I finally got some G4 on my racquet. Played doubles with it last night. Very playable for a co-poly and really easy on the arm. I strung at 50 and it does provide good control. It didn't hurt my serve and I still generated power although It is certainly not a power string. Spin felt good and any negatives I feel were<br />
more user error rather then string.

<p>Full set or hybrid: full set.<br/>Tension used for playtest: 56 lbs<br/>Regular string set up: Solinco Tour Bite 17<br/>Racquet brand and model used for test: Tecnifibre TFight 320 VO2 max <br/>Power of test string: Low to low moderate<br/>Feel: Felt like a cross between Lux Ace and Pro Hurricane Tour 18 gauge<br/>Spin: High kick serves, but lower trajectory on my Western groundies<br/>Comfort: Smooth and stiff like Pro Hurricane Tour<br/>Durability: Don't know, seems like the coating would last. Sold the racquet to my friend.<br/>Tension maintenance (how long before it became too loose or unplayable) Not sure, my friend has the racquet now.<br/>Control (predictable trajectory? performance on different strokes and swing speeds?) High amount of control, like the other testers noted. For a hard hitter, not for the pusher.<br/>Compare to the string you use most often: Pro Hurricane Tour<br/>Tension recommendations (after hitting it, would you recommend a different tension? Why?) I might drop it down to 53 or 54.<br/>Summary: I would like this string for tournaments where I would want control on all my shots and if I were to hit flatter drives. But for regular club play, sometimes I would want the spin and trajectory of Solinco Tour Bite or Barb Wire. I wouldn't pay beyond $15 a set. But even then, I think I would rather use Alu Rough, for a touch more spin. I can get Pro Hurricane Tour for 9.99 a set and I don't know if the extra resiliency is worth $5+ more. <br/><br/></p> Tries some G4 in my stick tod…tag:tennisopolis.com,2012-09-04:1869403:Comment:9485432012-09-04T02:57:09.637ZHal Wagnerhttp://tennisopolis.com/profile/HalWagner
<p>Tries some G4 in my stick today, G4/Volkl Poly Fibre 58lbs on both. Fairly crisp feeling, lower power for sure, but felt pretty good. Very different than my RPN/PolyFib setup. No serves yet, and was only hitting with top junior, need to see it in action with bigger hitters. I feel I can easily drop to 54lbs.</p>

One of students who is sponsored by Wilson/Lux has some in his stick and although he hit well with it does not like the power level and feel, but he is a finicky 14 yr old.
