Zero vs Sync: Which String Is Right For You?

The right tennis string can transform your game.

The wrong one leaves you frustrated, fighting your racket instead of your opponent.

In this guide, you'll discover how ReString's two precisely engineered strings - Zero for power and spin, Sync for control and feel - can elevate your tennis.

ReString String Philosophy

At ReString, we want to create strings mindfully to help you choose the perfect one for your game.

The reason behind this is that we understand the frustration of navigating countless options when shopping for tennis equipment.

For example, take tennis shoes. A single brand might offer dozens of models with subtle differences, which makes finding the right product much more difficult than it should be.

That's why we've taken a different approach.

Instead of flooding the market with multiple products, we've developed two distinct strings (Zero and Sync) to help you confidently and easily choose which one is best for you.

Next, we’ll explore the unique characteristics of each string to help you find your perfect match.

Zero String

Characteristics

As our flagship string, Zero represents the pinnacle of power and spin technology in tennis strings. This six-shaped co-poly string was engineered for players who love to dictate play with aggressive, powerful strokes.

What sets Zero apart is its exceptional bite on the ball, creating unparalleled snapback that generates massive spin potential. The unique six-shaped profile grips the ball aggressively, allowing you to hit with confidence and create sharp angles that keep your opponents on their heels.

But power and spin aren't Zero's only strengths.

We've developed this string to maintain superior tension for longer periods, addressing a common frustration with traditional co-poly strings. This enhanced durability means you'll enjoy consistent performance, session after session.

Target Audience

Zero is the perfect match for players who thrive on aggressive baseline play.

If you love to dictate points with heavy pace and spin, or find yourself frequently overpowering opponents from the back of the court, this string will enhance your natural playing style.

Availability

Zero comes in two gauges: 17G (1.23mm) and 16G (1.28mm). We explain how to pick the best gauge for you in this guide.

You can purchase Zero as a single 12.2m set, a bundle of five 12.2m sets, or a 200m reel for frequent stringers.

Sync String

Characteristics

Sync is our second string release ever, launched in 2024.

It represents our latest innovation in control and feel technology. This round co-poly string was designed for players who prefer to dictate play with precision and finesse.

What makes Sync special is its exceptional connection with the ball, providing outstanding feel and optimal pocketing. The round profile enables enhanced string movement, giving you the confidence to place shots exactly where you want them with pinpoint accuracy.

Like Zero, we've also engineered Sync to maintain superior tension for longer periods, ensuring consistent playability throughout its lifespan. This enhanced durability means you'll enjoy the same crisp response and precise control, match after match.

Target Audience

Sync is the perfect match for players who excel through control and precision.

If you love to construct points methodically and often find yourself outmaneuvering opponents with placement and touch, this string will elevate your game.

Availability

Sync comes in two gauges: 18G (1.20mm) and 17G (1.25mm). You can find our advice on what gauge is best for your game in our tennis string gauge guide.

You can purchase Sync as a single 12.2m set, a bundle of five 12.2m sets, or a 200m reel for frequent stringers.

Hybrid Setup

Understanding the distinct benefits of Zero and Sync might leave you wondering if you could get the best of both worlds.

The answer is yes – through a hybrid setup that combines both strings.

Hybriding Zero and Sync is a proven approach used by players at the highest level, including WTA Pro Cristina Bucsa.

For optimal results, we recommend stringing Zero in the mains and Sync in the crosses. This configuration creates a unique playing experience, blending power and precision in a way that many players find ideal for their game.

FAQs

Will you release another string?

Yes. Get ready for a new string in 2025. Follow us on Instagram @shoprestring to keep updated!

Conclusion

Choosing between Zero and Sync comes down to your playing style and what you value most in a string.

If you thrive on aggressive baseline play and want to dominate with power and spin, Zero is your ideal match.

If you excel through precise shot-making and prioritize control and feel, Sync will enhance your natural game.

For those seeking a blend of both characteristics, a hybrid setup using Zero in the mains and Sync in the crosses offers a professional-level solution.

Whichever option you choose, both strings deliver the superior tension maintenance and durability that define the ReString brand, ensuring consistent performance throughout their lifespan 🎾

Dear all, I just want to give you an enorm compliment of your Zero string. I am using since the summer the 1.3 version in my Prince O3 and it is perfect. I can hit the ball with lot of speed, spin and slice. I can serve with spin with a lot of speed or with low speed. With all hits I can control the ball as I want. So your zero is a perfect design an innovative compared to other brands. For me the blue collor is perfect but I don’t know marketing wise if it is smart to bring it our in other collors like grey or black but that is up to you. Before your string I have used many other strings and latest was a hexa version from German manufacturer MSV but with your string I am much more in control and can spin more, slice better as you string is more tasting the ball. So I definite will order a new 200 roll when my string is running out. So greetings from Gerjon Gabry from the Netherlands email gerjon.gabry@icloud.clom
