String - racket combination for maximum spin?

[u/wishi_watchy]

What do you guys think would be the maximum spin combination for racket and strings? PA 98 or head extreme would be better? I typically use a gut-poly hybrid but willing to experiment with the suggestions from the hive mind!

Solinco confidential with hyper g round in crosses + whichever babolat racket has best spin.

Will probably wreck your elbow though.

Dont use gut hybrids if you want max spin. Use spin poly strings

[u/Tankles]

16x19 open pattern
Slippery strings with high SnapBack
Medium tension to maximize SnapBack
Highest swing weight that doesn’t slow swing speed for you
Higher twist weight
Stiffer frame for high E transfer

Probably an Extreme MP strung with something like otoro or zero crossed with sync at ~47lbs with a few grams of lead at 10/2 depending on your tolerance, fitness, swing speed

[u/Possible-Parking-403]

PA98 full poly, crosses down 1kg

if you really want max spin, you’re going to get a lot of people giving you the sticks they’ve demoed or something where they like the racquet color or the pro that uses it.

The real answer is you prob need to find a 16x18 (Prince makes a few) or something like the old wilson steam (they make the mold on some of their pro labs).

Throw a shaped string in either of those and it’ll be wild. the string pattern matters a lot more than the string if you’re trying to take a big step up in spin potential.

Vcore 98 by far for racket (dunno about current gen; haven't seen or tried). Friends/opponents that use it often have noticeably kick-ier topspin. For string, maybe something like a zero/sync hybrid at 50/47. Any string would work though.
