The Hyper-G family is expanding. Enter our smooth operator: Hyper-G Round.

Unlike its shaped variants, Hyper-G Round boasts a circular profile, delivering a smooth, but aggressive option for the classic ball striker. Engineered with the signature feel and color of the original Hyper-G, its round profile distinguishes its ability for enhanced court penetration and maximum durability in hybrid setups.

• Boosts performance in a poly-poly hybrid setup.
• Recommended hybrid configurations include Hyper-G Round with Hyper-G and Hyper-G Soft.

ROUND STRING ADVANTAGES

Hyper-G Round joins Outlast as another heavyweight option for players who thrive with round polyester strings. Round strings carry a unique set of performance advantages. Their primary benefit is their ability to enhance the performance and durability of a hybrid string setup.

Due to its lack of edges and smooth construction, Hyper-G Round won’t cut into another string on the stringbed, thereby boosting the overall longevity of the setup. Hyper-G Round is ideal in a synthetic or multifilament string pairing, or a poly-poly setup such as Hyper-G Round with Hyper-G and Hyper-G Soft.

Round strings enable players to generate increased power and penetration in their shots, resulting in a deeper, heavier ball into the court. Discover the differences between shaped and round strings in our guide.

TOP REVIEWS

We’ve rounded up the best reviews from players who’ve tried Hyper-G Round. Standout highlights from reviewers include: increased court penetration, durability, and strong spin on the ball.

The Hyper-G Round ball drives through the court very direct with plenty of spin so the ball penetrates so opponents feel a lot of time pressure. -mad dog1

Round has a clean feel without being too muted. Nice balance of pop and forgiveness. Plenty of spin available. –colan5934

I get much better court penetration with HGR using a 16×18 racquet. –loosegroove

“Concerning notching, this string hasn’t really started to lock up or notch at all. This is after 9 sets of doubles and about four ball machine lunch-hour hitting sessions. I’d say that’s pretty darn good. Yes, there is tension loss, but notching isn’t an issue and lockup hasn’t happened. This may be due to the round string and whatever it’s made of, or coated with, because it’s pretty slick.” –Dunlop300g
