Quite a good productA solid overall string. My forehand felt like butter and my backhand felt crisp. Biggest pro for me was my serve. It felt like it was on fire and I couldn’t miss my flat serves. It made me feel confident enough to hit two 1st serves at times. The tension maintenance is quite good also. I would say it lasted me about 3 sessions before I felt I needed to change it out.
Great stringsThank you Tennis Warehouse for your quality items and great service!

New racquet, new strings, great results!I tried three racquets through the demo program and had a hard time deciding. All had features I liked and drawbacks. Great control, lacked power, etc. Two or three conversations with the racquet specialists helped me decide… and a big factor was string and tension. Went with a Yonex and Solinco Hyper-G string and very happy with results… Good enough control and plenty of power!

Best co-poly stringI've tried many different strings, but the Hyper-G 16 stands out with its excellent combination of spin potential, feel, tension maintenance, and durability. I prefer this version over the soft variant, especially due to its superior tension maintenance, while still feeling relatively soft compared to strings like Luxilon Alu Power. Additionally, I prefer this thicker gauge over the 16L because it not only lasts a few more hours but also feels a bit softer.

Solinco Hyper-G 16/1.30 String ReviewI honestly thought that Hyper-G is the best string I have ever played with. I'm saying this truly as I can get more power and spin from my frame and I recommend at least everyone to try this string once in their life time.

Great stringTeenage son’s favorite string, have tried most all of the other tennis strings. Daughter prefers Volkl cyclone strings, so it depends on your preference.

Really liking it...I've been an RPM blast user for a couple of years. Recently I switched racquets and after playing it with blast I restrung it with Hyper-G and love the feeling, great spin string too.
It seems to hold tension pretty well too.

Hyper G hyperactivityI run a small academy. We try lots of Solinco strings and tensions. Currently my two top players (UTR 5 & 6) have adopted Hyper-G for playability. Tennis Warehouse has our back with their west coast location and free shipping!

Like the feelI'm an RPM blast fan and I'm switching racquets and wanted to try a new spin-friendly string so Hyper-G became the candidate and I love it. It's got great feel and great spin potential.

Superb stringI am 70, 4.5 level player, and former D1. I was needing to change racquets and string to avoid tennis elbow. The Hyper-G 16 was excellent, a blend of soft but responsive. I am using it with the Yonex Ezone 100 and it is a fantastic combination. After a two week layoff, and starting with the new system, no pain, and a lot of joy.

GreatLove the string used it for years. It has great durability but doesn’t give the harsh repercussions on my arm like other durable stings have done in the past. Strung a racquet with solely Hyper-G or a hybrid with a synthetic gut and Hyper-G both are great the hybrid of course is softer. Less of an impact on my arm either way it’s strung.

WW string fr
Not durable Hyper-G: 01/18/24 to 02/25/24. Hyper-G: 02/26/24 to 03/15/24. I just play two times a week. I'm 4.0 player, the string is nice and I like it, but is too much and I do not consider my self big hitter. I feel frustrated. If I buy again, it's going to break any time in the middle of the game.
HappyGlad to know this string and happy to use it.
Best stringsKeeps my full swing in the court!
Nice spinI do think these strings have elevated my spin game.
SPINGreat string for spin! I highly recommend!
Solinco Hyper-G 16/1.30This string provides excellent spin and feedback.
Heavy balls with lots of topspinAs advertised this string allows you to hit a massive ball with topspin that explodes off the court, and that is with a RF97 v13, not the most spin friendly racquet. I didn't notice any tension drop. The downside is this string broke for me after 2-3 hours of match play.
Really like it! I really like this string, since I use a lot of spin on my forehand and backhand. I have it in some of my racquets, wouldn't mind maybe different colors in the future.
Previous Feedback
Comments: I am using Solinco Hyper-G 16 in a Yonex EZONE 100 at 53 pounds. I agree with most comments; the string has good playing characteristics, but it killed my elbow and wrist. It is actually very stiff. People having elbow problems should look for something softer, or go with the lower tension.
From: Jamil, Baku 6/19/21
Comments: I had been using RPM Blast 16 gauge in my 2019 Pure Aero strong at 53 pounds. It's the most amazing string for the first four hours, then the spin and control fall off. I have found with Hyper-G 16 gauge I can get 12-15 hours of consistent play out of with amazing control and spin. It's relatively comfortable for a polyester and is my new go-to string.
From: Kyle, 2/26/21
Comments: To sum my comment up this is the best string I've ever tried. It's a nice combo of power, precision, spin, and durability. Very arm-friendly compared to other polyesters. This will be now my string of choice. I use it on my Prince Textreme Tour 95 racquet, at 50 pounds.
From: Homey, 2/7/21
Comments: I am a 4.5-5 power baseline player. I have been using a Babolat Pure Aero Plus with Babolat VS in the mains (55 lbs). I started my hybrid beds with crosses of RPM Blast (53 lbs) and then moved to Luxilon ALU Power Rough (53 lbs). I have seen the distinctive green color show up on a few racquets on tour and decided to try Hyper G. It is a great combination with VS and I get just as much spin (if not more) and I get a bit more feel (even a bit of pocketing plushness). Consider me a fan!
From:Greg, 1/23/20
Comments: I'm a 5.0+ aggressive baseliner. My racquet of choice is a Yonex 95D with a Kimony leather grip and a bit of lead tape on the sides. Coming from 16L gauge Tour Bite strung at the low 40 pounds that I've used for the last 3 years, I decided to try Hyper-G, also strung in the low 40's. It has pretty similar groundies as Tour Bite, I like the depth and ease of my racquet. Chips and drop shots have a ton of feel and on the defense, topspin or slice, it still retains that good depth without having to arm that defensive shot. My serve feels more solid than with the Tour Bite. Power is definitely easy with this so I can focus on placement and racquet head speed. The part where it suffers is at the net, I feel like the punching of the volleys causes it to fly a bit farther than desired. I literally have to keep my hand soft until midway into contact. It's still a weird thing to figure out, but I'll give it another two weeks or whenever I break the string. I'd personally use it for singles but I see myself going back to Tour Bite after I'm done with this reel. Not a fan of the color either.
From:Ray, 7/25/19
Comments: These strings do feel easier on the arm than other polys. However, these felt kind of "mushy" to me. The launch off the string bed felt a little unpredictable at times; I tended to hit long. I just didn't feel totally connected to my shots. I prefer more of a "crisp" feel. I tried these in my RF97 in the 50's and even in the 40's when my wrist was injured. Perhaps a hybrid setup might work. I feel like I have to experiment too much to like these so I'm using other strings right now.-WillFormer #1 college player; USPTA Pro
From:Will, 9/11/18
Comments: Strung Hypger-G 16 at 38 lbs, good spin, power, control and at least for my arm, arm and shoulder friendly.
From:J2, 4/13/18
Comments: Used this by a recommendation from a professional stringer after his return from the us open who suggested it as an alternative to Luxilon 4G Soft 16. It had nice bite but for some reason felt muted for me. The spin response was significant but I felt the responsiveness was low and not for me as I string high on my Head Extreme Pro. Durability was average. I'm a 4.5 player who hits heavy topspin.
From:Phillip, 6/4/17
Comments: I used to love it, but I have mixed feelings at the moment. In a more controlled racquet such as my Ai 98, I get nice spin, control, and a muted but flexible feel. On the contrary, when I put it in the Babolat Pure Drive, it felt springy at times and I lost control easily. I don't know what to make of it. I think I should increase the tension from 52 to 54 or 55 on the Pure Drive. I thought 52 would work because I had 52 in my Ai 98 but I suppose it's not so.
From:Matthew, 3/22/17
Comments: Awesome string! Holds the tension well and the ball pocketing is excellent such that you can predict where you shot is going to land with pin point accuracy. I do agree with some previous comments on lowering the tension to get more juice out of the string. I strung the string in my black RF97 at 48/46 lbs.
From:A, 11/16
Comments: I am playing twice a week with great 17 year old semi-pro players. I use a heavily modified Babolat Pure Drive Team strung with BB ALU Power at 53 lbs. I won this string at a local competition. After 4 sets I got golfers elbow. Never had any kind of medical problems. My season is over. Never ever I will buy anythink from Solinco again!
From:Frank, 10/16
Comments: This string is ridiculous! Absolutely insane amounts of topspin. It's almost too much! I had to aim 2 feet higher than normal after coming from Yonex PTP. The ball was exploding off the court. Crazy how different I had to play to accommodate for the spin. I've only played one time with Hyper G so far and haven't decided yet if I'll stick with it. I also recently hit with Lux ALU soft and loved that string at 50/52 lbs. I'm a strong 4.5 all court player. 5.0 soon.
From:PJS, 5/16
Comments: This string pops the ball. The only other string coming close is Babolat Pro Hurricane Tour which I used for a many years. I strung this at 52 lbs in a new Pure Aero Tour and does it ever bite and pocket the ball nicely. Rips groundies with tons of spin and kicks the ball wide on the serve. Has held tension nicely and after 6+ hours of aggressive 4.5-5.0 drilling maintains its playability. Only concern is the aesthetic. Some like the green, but I would prefer it in a black or royal blue.
From:Andrew, 4/16
Comments: Great control and spin. Very good for defense. In the Blade 98S, it last about 3-4 hours of solid hitting (6-10 ball rallies). That Blade 98S is a string breaker. It is a crisp string, which I like. Tension is 48 lbs. It is good on all the strokes -- just solid. I had to try it at several tensions between 48-54 lbs. It just plays better on volleys and touch shots at a lower tension for me. I just wished it lasted longer.
From:Julias, 4/16
Comments: Great string! Switched from Pacific X-cite to Hyper G 16. Notthe softest of polys but it has masses of spin. Holds tension very well.I use this in a Pure Aero strung at 56 lbs. The string excels the harderyou swing. I'm a 5.0 player aggressive baseliner.
From: Justin, 3/16
Comments: I'm 15, I have been playing tennis since I was 3-4 years old. I'm currently using the Head Radical REV (customized) with Lux ALU Power Rough strung a 50 pounds. It's a beast but you want to know whats not "beast" the price. I've been looking for a cheaper string that offers really good spin, control and durability since I am a string breaker. I have the Nadal swing that comes up and around my head so spin might be not much of an issue. Anyway, a buddy of mine recently ordered Solinco Hyper G 16G. He has it on his Radical MP strung at 50 pounds as well. And I loved this string! Spin, spin, spin and control, control, control and guess what? Durability too! It's perfect for my swing style, droping right down with lots of explosion! This one is a little softer than ALU Power Rough and is much cheaper and durable. Overall, I really suggest you try this string. I'm a 4.5 tennis player playing in highschool.
From:Joshua, 3/16
Comments: Great string. Probably the best string I have used that is good for every stroke. It is stiffer, but feels good. After about 6 hours, it does not move in my Wilson Blade 98S, strung at 50 pounds. It is notching, but it still grips the ball very well. Topspin is awesome. I can spin the ball and hit flat shots (really lower over the net spin shots that penetrate through the court). I wish it came in gray, silver, or black.
From:Julias, 1/16
Comments: I recently had this strung in my Babolat Pure Aero Team. So far the performance is great, lots of spin and very responsive. Additionally there is a lot control from these strings.
From:Tristan, 11/15
Comments: This is the best string I've played with. Tried both the 16 and 16L. Lots of pop and spin but softer than Tour Bite. Three players I work with switched as well. A 45 year old 4.5 player switched from Tour Bite because of the arm comfort. One nationally ranked junior moved from Lux BB to Hyper G 16L because of the jump in power and another went from Head Reflex to Hyper G 16 because of the way the ball stayed on the strings longer. Everyone loves the green. Tried the 18 once for fun, but it broke way too quickly.
From:John, 11/15
Comments: Awesome string! It plays very similar to Tour Bite but a touch softer. It's super responsive and has tons of spin. The color is amazing too! The ball tends to get lost in the string bed giving you that edge! I was using Tour Bite Soft in a hybrid because of arm problems. But with Hyper G I go with a full bed strung three pounds looser. I have always been a big Solinco fan when it comes to strings and overgrips. All in all, a great string that's super arm friendly with the same shape as Tour Bite. It feels so similar to Tour Bite Soft, it could be called Tour Bite Extra Soft XD.
