Overview
This extremely thin version of Volkl Cyclone is a gear shaped spin monster. Boasting multiple edges, this medium firm co-poly puts a very tight grip on the ball and provides the player with amazing control. This one also comes with exceptional ball pocketing and feel. Try this version of Cyclone for more spin and feel than the thicker gauges.

Great power and spinI use a Yonex 97HD Vcore Pro. This racquet is soft and great for my tennis elbow, however not the best for my hitting style. I'm a baseline slugger with tons of top spin. I originally tried the 19g to open up the string bed a bit for more spin and it worked, however I lost some control. I then went up to the 18L and strung at 53l bs and it is working beautifully. I am getting a ton of spin and zero arm pain. If compared to my previous setup, a 98 Vcore (2021) with 17g Cyclone, which I would rate 10 out of 10 for spin. I would say my current setup is an 8 out of 10 for spin, but with more control, a better serve, and zero arm pain. Hope that helps.
Definitely one of my favorite poly's!After years of stringing, this is one of my favorites to play with and my trusted go to string when play testing other string sensitive rackets. Love the spin this can generate! Also hard to beat the cost.

Comments: Love this string, it really grips the ball and has adequate power. I prefer thinner polyester string and this one definitely sets a standard.

Comments: Well, I actually made a mistake on my order and thought I had checked the regular Black 18 gauge Cyclone. I have used Cyclone 18 black before in other racquets and I like the spin and control the string puts out. It tends to put out what you put in with no arm pain. The 18L was a different animal or at least as I tested in a new racquet, the Prince Textreme Warrior 100. I strung it at 52 lbs and that was likely too low. I got way too much pop which was difficult to control and I had to alter my swing to keep the balls in the court. I would say the jury is still out on this string and will try them out at 55-57 lbs on my other set.
