PACIFIC is known for inventing hybrid string combinations. Hybrid stringing consists of using different strings in the main and cross strings of a racket. Hybrid strings are gaining more & more popularity as players are looking for best characteristics of varying string qualities. By selecting different hybrid combinations of string, players can fine-tune the playability, comfort, durability, liveliness and control offered by the stringbed. For example, a hybrid string combination could use a durable string in the mains (e.g. polyester), while a natural gut or elastic synthetic string could be used in the cross strings to provide desired comfort and feel.
