Which TRU PRO String Should I Get?

A short and simple guide to choosing a TRU PRO string. The ultimate test - just play and go with your gut feel.

I am a beginner player and have not played with a co-polyester string before

Try TRIUMPH, a high-end multifilament string offering playability and arm-friendliness.

I am a beginner player used to or want to play with a co-polyester string

GHOST WIRE for players looking to transition from nylon/multifilament to co-polyester. Looking for an arm-friendly playing alternative but still want to enjoy the benefits of a poly string. This string is suitable for all playing levels.

I am an intermediate looking to bring my game to the next level

Give BLACK KNIGHT a go. Your footwork and technique will need to be of a certain level to bring out the best of this control string. Another option vouched for by my customers (and me too) is the BLACK KNIGHT / GHOST WIRE hybrid. Want more spin? Then test out the ultimate spin monster FIREWIRE or with added control and comfort, try FIREWIRE BOOST.

I am an advanced player and play competitive games regularly

BLACK KNIGHT is your knight in shining armour here. Try the thinner gauge if you are not a string breaker for more power, spin and comfort. Go for the thicker gauge for greater durability and slower loss of tension. TOUR STATUS is also another excellent choice here if you prefer a balanced string with a crisp and livelier feel.

ATOMOS, manufactured in Germany and developed by tournament players for the tournament player, finds its sweet spot between BLACK KNIGHT and TOUR STATUS. It offers plenty of control with increased power. In addition, its unique shape adds additional ball bite.

Loved BLACK KNIGHT but not the muteness and low power? Try our newest TRU PRO string, PURE RUSH, with extra pop, spin and feel.

Of what geometric shape ATOMOS has and where does it sit in the lineup?

Since it is not an officially definable geometric shape, it is difficult to answer this question, but internally we sometimes refer to it as a “flower shape”. Based on our playing experience, ATOMOS should offer more spin than BLACK KNIGHT but not as much as FIREWIRE. Plus you can't help but notice the plushness of ATOMOS.

What is the difference between Black Knight and Tour Status? Both plays feel quite similar

BLACK KNIGHT, a six side co-poly, offers exceptional directional and depth control which can be beneficial for competitive players with high racket speeds. Please note that BLACK KNIGHT holds tension very well when it comes off the stringer so you might want to consider stringing it 1-2 lbs lower than your usual poly setup.

TOUR STATUS, an eight side co-poly, is our most balanced string when it comes to power and control. Durability and access to spin are about the same for both strings. It has a crisp and livelier feel than BLACK KNIGHT and offers a bit more power as well.

I have my favourite main string and looking for a good cross string for a hybrid setup

Nothing beats the tested and proven GHOST WIRE, rated by United States Racquet Stringers Association as one of the softest co-polyester strings for a hybrid setup. Lab tests reveal that the 19g is as soft as many 16/17g nylon/multifilament strings on the market!

In fact, pairing any shaped co-polys in the mains with GHOST WIRE in the cross, reduces or eliminates the break-in period and provides a little extra comfort and power with exceptional tension stability.
