Great Feel!I really like the feel of this string, it's soft on impact and not so lively that it trampolines off the racquet. I string my racquet at 60 lbs which allows me greater control. It's been mentioned by others about durability it will break more quickly but remember it's an 18 gauge string. It' more than affordable and I string my own racquets. I love it. Thanks for a great product.
Great strings. Reel needed.Very great strings as crosses with Head Hawk Touch 19g. I wish it has a reel version instead of buying a lot of small packs.

Comments: I agree with Steve's feedback below. These strings would work good as a cross with poly mains. I used them in my Babolat at 53 lbs. They seemed to take a long time to settle for me. Soft feel, avgerafe power and spin.

Comments: I used these on my Yonex 95D the other day. They were pretty awesome! I could hit harder and the ball would stay in.

Comments: I recommend using this string in the crosses to complement a polyester in the mains. One of the benefits is that it won't notch into the mains like an all polyester does when used in both the mains and crosses.

Comments: Great string. Lasts a few days, although that does not sound great, is as long as it takes a Poly to go dead. With the Gamma Synthetic Gut 18 I get the same spin as poly, with the following advantages:
1) Softer - easier on the arm
2) Feel - much better feel for touch shots, volleys, drop shots, etc.
3) Stringing - stringing with this is FAR easier than poly
4) Price - 1/3 the price of good poly's, 1/2 the price of average poly's Compared to other 18 gauge synthetic strings, I would rate this as slightly less feel than the Head PPS 18, but with better durability. Softer feel than Gosen, which is crisper. For me, the perfect combo is a hybrid of the Gosen OG Micro 18 and the Gamma Synthetic Gut 18

Comments: I decided to use a full bed of this in my EXO3 Rebel team 95. To my surprise they felt great! I am only a 3.5 player but felt like I could hit a LOT harder and the ball would stay in. I won a match tonight with it and I could just feel my confidence building with it. I just ordered some more!
From: Shay, Hemet, CA, USA. 07/10
Comments: Not as good as it looks play-wise. Quite stiff and dead feeling. I put it in a fairly heavy racquet (12.4 ounces Radical Tour MP Zebra) thinking that the weight alone would make the string pocket the ball better, but didn't happen.

Comments: Good strings for the money, hard to beat value. The Gamma Synthetic Gut 18 provided me with a good feel and ease of applying topspin. Don't expect great durability though; I'm a hard hitting baseline player and although they'll show minimal wear, these strings will pop within 6 to 10 hours of playing time. But then again, they are very cheap to replace.
