Some of my clients provide their own string and I was reminded of the power of Head Intellistring while stringing a Head oversize frame. The Head Intellistring is a hybrid and the package contains RIP Power in a 16g (1,28mm) and a RIP Feel in a 17g (1,23mm). Generally one would put the Power in the mains and the Feel in the crosses, and this becomes easily determined because you will find that the Power is cut to a 22 ft length and the Feel is cut to a 18 ft length. Generally you will need to keep this in mind if you are going to switch it up because 18ft may be cutting it short in the mains for a 18 x 20 pattern. The Power has a rough exterior that is excellent for topspin. If you were stringing the racket all around with the rough string it might be harder to string, but in the hybrid with a smooth cross string, it installs fairly easily.

It has been around for several years and has come down in price some at the retail level.
If you are looking for the latest in Head technology you might check out the PWR Fusion string or FXP Power. If you visit Head's website and review the current line of tennis strings you will not find Intellistring listed.
Providing your customers with string choices is important for your business and for customer retention. The challenge can be deciding what to carry. When starting out your stringing business it might be best to pick one or two current strings in each category and add a new string as your business increases and you have a better feel of what your clients want.
