It's tough to see which string the pros are using on their racquets but some string makers are getting smarter, making sure you know. Witness the x on Mikhail Youzhny's racquet face.
The x is Pacific's logo. Youzhny's string of choice? The USRA Survey top-rated Pacific Tournament Pro ToughGut, a poly/gut hybrid string that offers gut's love, power and control plus durability, $22.95 per set. Not cheap but anything involving gut never is.
The string comes in 16, 16L and the Russian's choice, the thinner 17 gauge. It has a natural/light orange color scheme.
Youzhny's racquet is the Head YOUTEK Extreme Pro, MSRP $190. You will usually see both the Head and Pacific logos painted on the strings. His apparel? adidas.
