We normally play on Tue & Fri 4-6 or 5-7pm at my club’s courts, if you are interested, pls let me know, NTRP stanard is 3.0+, but I am sure you are well above it.

Yes, Tecnifibre is a solid product, my partner just got one at 1/2 price during the sale last month, I forgot the model, but it’s a mid-size, very solid feel. Btw I shall try X-code later, thanks.

full black code you have to give yourself one week to get in to it.
if too much “elastic” try red code ( I think Tipsarevic is using or was using it) les responsive, less elastic but, of course less powerful

I am now testing ( always Tecnifibre ) the X-code that is the missing link between mono and multi. I am having on the racket not and was hitting few hours – need to get use but I like the feeling. doubt about life but I’ll see in to that.
I , of course , play with Tecnifibre T-fight 320 and use ( and therefore know much better Tecnifibre products ( thay actually sponsor me ) but I underline I do not sell their products.
Can only say that rackets are very good but not very famous
( similar to your is the new T-flash 315 ). Strings are very good and also relativelly famous but not in HK where big brand dominate. SAid this I do not really make a cent if you buy or not Tecnifibre mine wants to be a help due to fact that I know their products quite well

I’ve tried Black Code on my POG before, I felt it was too soft, may be my old POG is also a very flex classic racket, so a soft racket + typical soft Poly string = too soft experience.

Yes, I will try to mix Black Code (Main) + NRG2 (Cross) and reduce a few lbs, probably 55 lbs for Main and 57 for Cross.

Youteck IG Extreme is a very stiff beast, so may be Black Code will make the difference, I knew many others use Black Code on Babolate Pure Drive with excellent result. Although the pro shop staff told me mixing Poly + Multi may extend the life of my strings may be say 1 month more, but it’s the multi (ie, NRG2) going to break at then end again.

I calculated last time, a pair of NRG2 is HK$170 with re-string job x 12 times a year = $2,040, I can almost buy another 2 Head Youtek IG Extreme Pro, not exactly cost effective.

Oh I really enjoy the feel of NRG2 expecially 17 Gauge, just exactly as described by my partner, first 2 hours is too stiff and you can actually feel the ball eating your string when hitting top spin return or serve, then the next 5-8 hours is the most comfortable time, and then it suddenly drops the origional tension for the next 5-10 hours, finally after a total of 20-24 hours, it breaks as expected.

In any case NRG from Tecnifibre is one of the best string ( feeling oriented ) on the market but it comes at a cost and you know it by now.

Anyway if you will pass to monofilament black code itself is a good choice but remember to reduce your tension of few pounds to have same ( if multi you string at 55 mono string at 50 )

Let me know
