Your tennis playing style should determine your string choice.
Not marketing hype or what your favorite pro uses.
When your string aligns perfectly with how you naturally play, magic happens on the court.
The hexagonal profile of Zero creates fantastic bite on the ball, while its special coating generates superior snapback.
This means that players who hit with power from the baseline or rely heavily on their serve stand to gain the most from these specific characteristics.
In this article, you'll learn exactly how Zero's performance features translate to real benefits for aggressive baseliners and big servers, helping you decide if this string is for you.
How Does Zero Play?
Zero is a hexagonal-shaped string that gives incredible bite on the ball when you hit it. The string also has a special coating that reduces friction significantly, generating superior snapback for more spin on your shots.
When you play with Zero, you'll immediately notice its power. The string helps you hit through the court with added pace on groundstrokes and serves, giving your game that extra punch needed to keep opponents on their back foot.
The mix of the hexagonal shape and quick snapback lets you do several things better.
Firstly, you can create sharper angles with your shots. You also get more topspin, making it safer to hit harder. Plus, you can push your opponents off the court with heavy spin shots.
Let’s dive into who these playing characteristics suit best.
Is Zero Right for Your Playing Style?
Aggressive Baseliners
If you love to dictate play from behind the baseline with powerful groundstrokes, Zero is made for you.
This string gives aggressive baseliners the tools to control matches with devastating power and spin combinations.
Your playing style as an aggressive baseliner typically involves big swings, staying behind the baseline, and focusing on heavy shots that push opponents around.
Zero complements these characteristics perfectly by adding even more bite to your already powerful shots.
If you are unsure what this playing style looks like, just think of Rafael Nadal. He exemplified it using extreme spin and power to wear down opponents.
Juan, ReString co-founder and aggressive baseliner himself, uses Zero specifically because it enhances his natural playing style. He finds the string allows him to hit deeper into the court while maintaining the heavy spin.
Big Servers
Zero also works great for players with a big serve. The string’s natural power creates more pace when you need it most.
When strung at lower tension, Zero will help you gain a few extra kilometers per hour on your serves. That extra boost can transform a 195 kph serve into a 200+ kph weapon that's much harder to return.
Beyond pure speed, the hexagonal shape grips the ball firmly during contact, allowing you to generate more spin on slice and kick serves. This added rotation makes your serves more unpredictable and difficult to handle.
Will Woodall, a ReString sponsored ATP pro player known for his powerful serve, uses Zero to maximize this area of his game. His experience shows that Zero’s performance can be relied on at the highest level of the game.
