ISO TENNIS 2011 ISO SPECIAL INSIDE
ISO Perfect strings for a perfect game. Our contribution to your advantage. ISO develops customized strings for demanding players. Our range of products is so multifaceted that it can accommodate every type of player. Regardless of which features take center stage during playing, we have the perfect material for every requirement and every level. From heavy-duty training strings to demanding professional strings, we offer a broad spectrum of products. We accommodate special demands with the hybrid system. And that means the highest level of flexibility and, simultaneously, tailor-made stringing that is easy on the racket. More for less. Using sophisticated composite materials and technologies, ISO has produced the first synthetic string possessing the properties of natural gut strings. The Power Ribbons developed by us, which are wound so that they overlap and are diametrically opposed, have enabled us to reconstruct the composition of high-quality, natural gut strings. Thereby we provide excellent elasticity and arm protection. As a result, we are able to offer a decisive advantage. Technology is your benefit. ISO is the technology leader in the field of innovative materials. We are the only company in the world that uses Polypropylene in the manufacture of strings, in addition to the more common materials. With Power Ribbons, we have developed a revolutionary string technology which uses elastic tapes instead of the traditional fibers. And, since 1990, we have carried out successful research on methods for the postprocessing and optimization of materials, such as double heating, a thermal aftertreatment which makes it possible for us to produce an unusual, triangular tennis string. Continuous advances in materials and technologies guarantee innovative, state-of-the-art products. ISO: a story of success. ISO is one of the world s leading manufacturers of premium synthetic tennis strings. As a seperate product line of ISOSPORT, which was founded in 1969 to manufacture materials for skiing and snowboarding, ISO has benefited from its many years of experience in manufacturing and postprocessing synthetics. We started producing tennis strings in 1990 right after we entered the market, the entire Austrian tennis elite began using ISO products for the competitive sport. The trend toward high-tech products has continued to this day and ISO now offers a complete line of strings that is known around the world as being unique.
ISO ISO In technology we trust. Decision Disc A combination of innovative manufacturing technologies and carefully selected materials enables ISO to offer an extensive range of strings for all types of players. What string is right for you? You can find the correct string for your game with this new ISO Decision Disk. Simply adjust the disk to your game features and it will recommend the optimal string for you. ISO we believe in your game What we do ISO manufactures innovative products by means of the very latest technology. Using unique processing technology such as clockwise and counter clockwise winding, braiding, heating and pre-stretching, we have secured ourselves a leading position worldwide, both in terms of market share and as a technological pioneer. ISO superior technology for the perfect string MULTIPLE HEATING: This technology refers to a thermal after-treatment consisting of multiple heating processes that are applied to the string. The heating evens out any irregularities and also eliminates internal stresses. The results are pliable, uniformly elastic strings. POWER RIBBONS (WINDING TECHNOLOGY): Power Ribbons are flat tapes made of polypropylene and polyamide. They are wound several layers thick so that they overlap and are diametrically opposed, thereby simulating the structure of a natural gut string. This makes it possible to produce strings that are elastic and, at the same time, robust. BRAIDED CORE (BOBBIN TECHNOLOGY): The braided core is a tightly plaited cord located in the string s core. Due to its exceptional structure, it gives the string uniform elasticity and high deflection resilience. PRE-STRETCHED: ISO strings are pre-stretched. Pre-stretching the string core or the entire string minimizes the loss of tension, while at the same time, allowing for lower tension weights. LIQUID WAX: Once manufacture is complete the string is refined with a layer of wax. This layer simplifies stringing the racquet and significantly extends the life of the string itself by reducing wear. What we use The use of high-quality raw materials is the basis of ISO tennis string s exceptional quality. We produce our strings from a variety of plastics with a range of material characteristics that provide you optimal support in your game. ISO the prefect string for your game POLYPROPYLEN: Polypropylene is a high-strength, heat-sealable plastic that possesses a stress-strain behaviour similar to that of gut. POLYESTER: Polyester is a stable, highly durable plastic whose rigidity decreases the more it is stretched. POLYAMID: Polyamide, by contrast, is a soft plastic whose rigidity increases the more it is stretched. SPIN Due to their texture surface, spin strings are best-suited for topspin and slice players. LONG LIFE Long-life strings are very durable, due to their somewhat more robust structure. Thanks to their elasticity, speed strings provide extreme ball acceleration. ARM PROTECTION The composition of arm-protection strings is based on that of natural gut strings, making them particularly elastic. They go easy on the arm and the joints. Control strings offer optimal ball control and an enhanced feel for the game.
AXON - multi The multifilament version of the new AXON string offers tennis players an exceptionally comfortable and smooth sensation. Yet the string retains a definite bite thanks to its monofilament core, therefore combining the best of both worlds.

HYBRID STRINGS Spin Speed Long Life Control BASELINE STRINGS Speed Spin Control Long Life The Hybrid-System Unlimited stringing flexibility with first-class quality! Baseline For everyone who wants more: maximum playing pleasure for little money. Individuality & Durability. The ISO Hybrid System now makes it even easier for tournament and professional players: We have now optimized our ability to accommodate the needs of each and every player by offering four types of hybrid strings to choose from, each of which has its own different features. You can combine the mains and the crosses however you like - the result is a highly individual, tailor-made string bed. Play your individual style. MAIN STRING CROSS STRING Baseline Speed LONG LIFE The Baseline Speed model is a very smooth, monofilament polyester string that simultaneously offers outstanding ball acceleration and a long service life. Baseline Control LONG LIFE The Baseline Control model is a compact, monofilament polyester string that simultaneously provides maximum control and a long service life. The string properties may be combined in any way you like by varying the string on the mains and the crosses. The string must be set individually, depending on the type of player and the demands on the racket. The basic rule of thumb is: a stable main string should be used in combination with an elastic cross string. Make sure that fun lasts longer. Moreover, a great advantage of the Hybrid System is that it considerably increases the durability of the string. While the mains often break on traditionally strung rackets because their movements are stronger and they rub against the cross strings, hybrid stringing makes it possible to combine a more stable and, therefore, longer-lasting main string with an elastic cross string. This results in substantially less racket deformation and, at the same time, a longer service life for the string bed tension. HYBRID ON TOUR The ISO hybrid strings are part of the Tour Segment and were specially designed for competition players. They stand out, not only because of their innovative technology and unimagined flexibility, but also because of their fresh, light-green color. So that both your playing and your style will make an impression on the court!
