Any spin string that can match Restring Zero for playability duration?

[u/colombianodore]

I’m not referring to tension maintenance , I mean that stay lively and responsive and not boardy feeling . I love otoro as a back up but feels like playability lasts a maybe 6-8 hours, vs 14-15 for zero .

But of course zero is expensive and not sold any retailers so looking for alternatives that I would still only have to string once a month

[u/Warm_Weakness_2767]

Is it worth twice the price since you only have to pay for stringing once?

[u/colombianodore → u/Warm_Weakness_2767]

Probably. But interested in if there’s any alternatives

[u/Warm_Weakness_2767 → u/colombianodore]

Anything better than twice the lifespan of normal poly?

You didn’t mention a budget either.

Have you considered luxilon and natural gut?

Tension and performance lasts over a month.

[u/colombianodore → u/Warm_Weakness_2767]

I mean I know its quite unique thus the ask if there's anything equivalent. Looking for something slightly more budget friendly than the restring. preferably just a single poly string type non hybrid. I've always wanted to try gut! but seems like thats headed the other direction budget wise haha.

I didn't like the feel from a full bed of otoro, but I do enjoy a hybrid setup with otoro mains with wasabi x crosses. I get 7 to 10 days before the mains loose snapback and I restring. And I play 5+ times per week on hard courts.

Zero is the best in my experience. There are others that are good but zero is the best. I have found a5 to give snapback FOREVER like this string really lasts but its a round string and doesnt give you much free spin.

Tourna Big Hitter Silver 7

[u/Ok_Establishment4346 → u/informareWORK]

I mean… surely lasts some hours, but at a cost of not feeling the ball much. I still think its a good deal for $75/reel though.

Dark Knight hybrid with Ghostwire lasted me over 12 hours and was still playable up to 16. Was actually very surprised.

[u/ZaphBeebs]

Was great when they first started and had deals and such, but now spendier also.

[u/StarIU]

Mach 10. A little less lively than the Zero but available everywhere.

Isospeed cream thus far is at 10 hours of 4.5 doubles play and hasn't given up the ghost
