Great for my hybrid string jobs!
I put them in my neighbor's Yonex VCore 98 (62.5 lbs, at his request), a retired tennis instructor and he raves about the control, since he supplies his own power and spin. He also had no arm issues. I returned his racquet before I took a picture and have yet to try them myself, but who can question the opinion of a master!
The feel is amazing. I cannot underscore this enough. I am a long time player, and and equally long time racquet stringer. This string is easy to use, easy to string, and more importantly, easy on the arm.
GET THIS STRING!
Love the soft feel and spin created with the Touch string!
Soft and great quality!!!
I am a big fan of YTEX products. QuadroTwist black is my personal favorite. It’s a softer Poly string and most can comfortably play with a full bed of it. But at 57yrs are of age I find myself prone to elbow issues so I have been using synthetic gut in my crosses to soften the feel and absorb some of the shock.
Not any longer…..YTEX Touch multifilament is my new string of choice for the crosses in my hybrid setup. Better feel, durability, and playability than synthetic gut. I’ve strung several customers racquets with this same setup and have gotten excellent feedback.
These strings are great! They have made my elbow pain go away! I had pain with the Co-Poly, but these have fixed my pain. They also play great and feel solid. They are very durable as well.. You will get many matches out of them.
Very soft string with great feel. I used the Quadro twist for the mains and the touch for the crosses. I liked the overall play. Very nice.

Tried ytex on a whim when I heard about square x sharp. Thought it would be a novelty and I'd be back to searching around to find something that would fit my needs and protect my elbow. Immediately noticed a difference. Play tested several others but their flagship ended up checking all the boxes for me. I string an ezone 100 with a full bed of quadro twist black at 48lbs. Spin generation and power with full cuts from the baseline have helped my rally depth tremendously. First serves still pop, but my confidence with kick and slider has gone through the roof. Anyone looking to get into the brand should start here and see what it does for them!
With Twist Purple in my other racquet, Head Exteme MP, I strung Hexagon Red as a cross (40 lbs) to Square X Sharp (42), and along with Purple, found it superior to the smooth poly Protour as a hybrid cross. Whereas Purple seemed to exceed Red in power, durability and control, Red did enhance the spin. The full bed is good, but try it in a hybrid, even as a cross!
On a dare from a YTex FB colleague, I tried Hexagon Red, and while I was at it, strung Twisted Purple in my other racquet, Head Extreme MP, as the cross to the mains of Square X Sharp, 42 in mains, 40 in crosses. It beat Hexagon in durability, power, and control. And yes, beat the smooth polys, Protour, in performance. No doubt it has its market as a full bed, or even main, but consider it as a hybrid cross!
My favorite feature of Protour Blue is the softness. There are very few copolys that I can use without hurting my arm. At the same time Protour Blue provides some additional spin in my hybrid with gut.
I was looking to soften my string bed a bit more as well as trying to increase the snapback of my strings. By adding Pro Tour to the crosses with Quadro Twist in the mains, I feel like the strings still grab the ball since QT is in the mains, but I believe I increased my spin due to the better snapback of the strings now that a smooth poly is in the mains. It also made the overall feel more plush, which is what I was after. I'm very happy with this hybrid and will be using it going forward. I string the mains at 48 and crosses at 46.
I have a small and it just barely adjusts small enough but it is very lightweight and comfortable.
I use Protour as a cross with Square X as the main. Gives me plenty of spin and pop on the ball
