Overview
Live Wire Technology exposes the polymeric materials in the string to "an advanced, super high energy, Gamma irradiation process. This process energizes the molecules and accelerates the cross linkage (bonding) between the molecules by more than 25% to create Live Wire monofibers. This increased cross linkage provides greater dynamic resiliency and greater elasticity, compared to other synthetic materials." Live Wire 17 XP offers "Maximum power & control, superior durability and a crisp, solid feel in a thinner gauge."

Allows movement, but not enoughI strung this @ 50# in the crosses with poly @ 47# in the mains. The first time out, after hitting I saw the mains had moved but not completely back to the starting positions. For the first 40 minutes balls flew following a technique adjustment, normal flight resumed. A decent string, but a synthetic gut at half the price may match the performance.

Comments: A very comfortable string! This string was recommended by a string-shop pro when I asked for something arm-friendly, and it is now my go-to string when my elbow needs some TLC. It is so nice to walk off the court with my elbow feeling zero soreness. It also gives depth of shots without having to work so hard. Volleys in the sweet spot have a bit of bounce or springiness to them. It is a softer, gummier string, so it won't offer spin via snap-back, but it does seem to grip the ball pretty well. I am not a hard hitter nor a string breaker, but those folks are probably looking at different types of strings anyway.
