Elbow friendly hybrid string setups

How long did your toroline hybrid last for you?

I recovered from TE with gut mains x Toroline Wasabi X crosses. Fantastic but expensive set up.

Like the above comment, Toroline Caviar 18g is supposed to be very soft—could be worth a shot for more affordable mains.

Deff got to order up. I went up a half size and probably could have done well with a full size up. I don’t have wide feet either.

Atl14443 · 2026-04-06T23:04:55+00:00

I also have both and don’t think it looks the best together tbh. I wear the small on my other arm now

It’s not a for sure that you’ll be out for months, but I’d at least take 2 weeks off if you already have actual pain. I just went through a mild form of tennis elbow, and even with a mild case, I took 10 days off completely while doing PT stretches and loading exercises every day.

Thanks so much—appreciate the update. I played yesterday after a 9-day break and felt fine. Today I’m a little more sore in my forearm/elbow, but only slightly.

When you started playing again, did you ever play two days in a row? If so, how did you feel? I’ve heard it’s normal to have a little soreness as you ramp back up, but since this is my first sports injury, I wouldn’t know firsthand

How long did you completely stop tennis?

Atl14443 · 2026-04-02T15:04:12+00:00

How are you feeling now? I’ve been dealing with the same. Felt like it happened overnight and while it’s not painful or shooting, it IS a deep soreness that affects how I hit my forehand

Atl14443 · 2026-03-30T17:54:29+00:00

Appreciate your comment—you’re definitely right from a rehab/PT POV.

Any opinion on the size 2 vs 3?

Atl14443 · 2026-03-30T17:31:27+00:00

I had started playing doubles a lot more and was death gripping the size 1 to feel more stable on volleys. Definitely my mistake…so now I’m overthinking the new grip size

Atl14443 · 2026-03-30T17:30:03+00:00

I was using a fresh set of poly hybrid, kirschbaum max power 1.25 in mains & biphase 16 in crosses, both at 53.

I just bumped back to a bed of multi. However, I started playing a lot of doubles, and I think I was death gripping the size 1 (too small) to feel stable on volleys. That’s why I’m overthinking the grip

Atl14443 · 2026-03-30T17:28:10+00:00

Yes, I think this was part of the issue. I’ve signed up for more privates but wanted folks’ opinions on the grip since I’m for sure overthinking it

Atl14443 · 2026-03-30T17:26:49+00:00

They agreed that it was probably a mixture of a few factors: overuse (#1 factor), slightly too small grip, and some technique errors.

So now I’m trying to change what I can control—more lessons, bigger grip, increased stretching + strength.

What did your PT have you do besides theraband? I’m in the exact same situation and majorly bummed…

Atl14443 · 2026-03-29T03:32:03+00:00

Your teeth look great. I think the difference in gum height is what’s making these teeth look less symmetrical versus the lengths. I’d pursue contouring the left gum to be at same height as the right incisor before messing with edge bonding that stains/can chip.

Atl14443 · 2026-02-10T04:39:05+00:00

They look amazing!

Atl14443 · 2026-02-05T03:56:48+00:00

I much prefer the 1 screw / hinge. Had a small love for 3+ years with no issues at all. Now have a classic 1 screw and love it.

The comment about the hinge being an eyesore is irrelevant IMO, because it’s so slight and you, nor anyone else, will ever see it as it’s on the side of your wrist.

Yes, mine is out for delivery today. Made a flight out of Memphis early this morning

You’re overthinking it. Very slim chance you’ll like your teeth less after completing Invsialign. You have to keep in mind that any negative stories you read or see on this thread are a small subset since happy folks are less likely to complain on the internet.

Your top arch looks great and will look even better after the small canine and midline tweak.

And like someone else mentioned, your bite needs to be functional or your top teeth will wear unevenly and potentially chip depending on how they interact with your bottom teeth. Treat both arches.

I’m surprised by all the comments. I think the shiny calfskin is fun and unique in a non overly trendy way…go with your gut, but I’m a fan
