Babolat Duralast 16 String Customer feedback

Comments: I have mixed feelings about this string. It feels like I'm hitting with plastic when I hit it, and then it's pretty stiff. In fact, one of the coaches at my club says it's the stiffest string he's ever felt. But after about an hour, the strings begin to settle in and it begins to feel different, little more pop, and increased spin. Volleys for great, touch shots made just over the net like I wanted. I wouldn't recommend this string but it won't hurt to give it a try.

Comments: I have a Babolat Aeropro Drive gt and I strung duralast on the mains and VS on the crosses. Before I played with RPM on the mains and I am disappointed at duralast. It just didn't give me the control I was looking for. However it did provide substantial power and very good spin.

Comments: I would give this string a great consideration when choosing your strings. It is true that the string breaks easily, but the strings enable you to apply lots of spin on the ball during play. If using a counter-revolution serve I would highly recommend it.

Comments: I like this string. I'm a junior and #4 in long island and I think it is amazing. It doesn't lose that much tension but the down side is that it breaks easily.

Comments: This string is fantastic, even though it does die fast, it still gives great ball feel.

Comments: Duralast is a crazy good string fresh off the stringer. Unfortunately since I play like 5 hours a day, it only lasted me 2 days and a light hit. So if you want to restring during matches and after matches, then go ahead, this is your string.

Comments: OMG finally I have been having to ship these strings from over seas. I love this string. They never break, although they die in about a week but I just love these strings. I use 15 gauge I wonder if tennis warehouse will sell the 15...

Comments: I used this string on my head microgel radical pro, it had nothing special, it is not spin friendly. I broke these strings after 1 week, at first they looked good then the tension dropped really fast. I don't recommend it!

Comments: I don't know why people don't like this string. I just had it on my AeroPro Drive Cortex and it felt awesome. It had perfect spin and control and since I use a lot of wrist action and power on my forehands it felt perfect.
From: Spenser. 8/09

Comments: There are better durable strings out there and this string is not durable. Had to replace strings within a week and a half. Regretted hitting with this string because I started to feel pain in my shoulder and arm.
From: Joe, CA, USA. 8/09

Comments: This string is so harsh on your arm. It does not take long to break in, but the tension drops really fast. If you hybrid this string, it tears through the crosses. It lasts only about 1 week and then it's done.
