If you love your current setup of full polyester but you can feel that twinge in your tendons after a match, I have something just for you.

Have you ever noticed the pro’s who use polyester strings in the mains and natural gut strings in the crosses? Andy Murray, Alexander Zverev, Tommy Paul use this hybrid. Why do they do this? I personally think it’s to save their arms. They keep the performance and feel from their favorite poly in the mains but soften it with natural gut in the crosses. It’s incredibly effective but this can be very expensive.

Let’s keep that polyester in the mains but let’s put PEEK in the crosses. PEEK is as soft as natural gut but far cheaper. It also doesn’t shred like natural gut does and maintains a lot of the same spin and durability of polyester. I personally think this is a better hybrid than with natural gut crosses. So why not give it a try?
