Comments: Awesome string! It's too pricey though, and it's not durable at all.

Comments: Playability-wise is much more similar to the natural color. Unlike the black XCel french open which has more of a coating than a dye, this string is much easier to string in comparison. Many times while stringing with the black XCel I noticed the coating would start to shred halfway down the crosses. While it doesn't affect play, there were some people unhappy with how it looked. This new color does not seem to have the same problem, so thank you Babolat!
