Switching from Solinco Hyper-G to ReString Zero: Player Feedback

"Hyper-G is dead. RPM Blast is dead. Long live ReString Zero."

That's what TennCom had to say about Zero in his review.

Of course, this was tongue in cheek and all three strings have given players memorable games.

However, we constantly get questions asking how Zero compares to Hyper-G.

Rather than just give you our perspective, we've collected real feedback from players and reviewers to show you exactly what happens when players make the switch.

Why Hyper-G Matters

When Solinco Hyper-G launched in 2014, it revolutionized the string market with one of the most aggressively shaped polyester strings ever created.

Its focus on bite and spin changed how players approached their game, creating a new standard for spin-friendly strings.

The green string quickly gained a substantial following at the collegiate level and among professional players.

Most notably, the Bryan Brothers (doubles world number ones who won 16 Grand Slam titles) relied on Hyper-G throughout their legendary careers.

The string became synonymous with vibrant color and lively play, making it a go-to choice for players seeking enhanced spin and control.

Why We Created Zero

Despite Hyper-G's impressive performance, we saw room for improvement.

While the string delivered exceptional spin and bite, players consistently faced the same challenge: performance degradation over time.

The notching that develops during play reduces snapback, which kills spin potential.

We developed Zero to address this specific limitation.

Our six-sided design maintains the aggressive bite players love about Hyper-G while our specialized coating extends playability far beyond what traditional polyesters offer.

The result is a string that doesn't just match Hyper-G's spin but one that maintains that performance longer.

What Players Are Saying

TennCom was particularly impressed with durability: "With ReString Zero, you get approximately 5x times longer lasting performance when compared to RPM Blast and at least 2x longer lasting performance when compared to Hyper-G."

He also said "ReString Zero is truly one of the best strings you can buy today. Even 2 years after launch, I don't think there's anything that produces more spin. Durability remains at the top of the heap."

A player on Reddit shared, "I really like zero. Was using hyper g prior. I would get two solid weeks with hyper g. With zero I get three. They feel slightly different but spin is about the same so on durability alone it is a better string for me."

Another player on Talk Tennis noted, "[Zero] reminds me of hyper g in a sense that it's deader feeling and great spin but I thought zeros more comfortable and predictable."

One player emphasized the environmental benefit: "[Zero] strings lasts to me 5 times more than Hyper G, with great stability, meaning I am sending 5 times less trash to the garbage."

From the same forum, another player added, "I'm actually a big fan of [Zero]. Great spin potential, and also crisp (which I like) without being harsh. Hyper G has always felt a bit mushy to me, but I haven't used it a whole lot."

Tan Tennis said, "I tried [Zero] on 4 rackets so far, Tfight 315, Blade 98, Shift 99, and Pro Stock Blade 98. All at around 46-48 lbs. None of them gave me any discomfort…I do think it feels pretty much the same as hyper G. It just has better spin and I think more controllable power."

The Verdict

Hyper-G earned its legendary status for good reason.

It transformed how players think about spin and control. But the consistent feedback from players who've made the switch to Zero tells a clear story.

You don't have to sacrifice the performance characteristics you love about Hyper-G to get dramatically better longevity.

We believe Zero delivers both and is the evolution that the polyester market has been waiting for.
