Comments: It is hard to believe, but this poly replaces my favorite Tourna Poly Big Hitter Blue 17. I keep coming back to it as it is super soft and comfortable, has a very good plush feel, and basically exhibits the best traits of both a multi and a poly. Tried the 17g, and it is not as crisp as the 16g.Based on my experiments, I find it best suited for flex frames such as Prince Tour EXO3, Prince Rebel 98, and Head Radical IG Pro as it takes too much power away from stiffer frames such as the new Pure Drive Roddick. Basically excellent for stiffness rating of <62.

Comments: At the moment this is my favorite co-poly string. The Dunlop Black Widow is an awesome string! It is very comfortable, and arm friendly. Don't pay attention the description that says that it's low powered. Trust me, is not! Matter fact some hard core poly users will think that it has to much "pop" The spin it generates is really good! The balls just dropped like a lead zeppelin. But the REAL reason that I dig this string is this. I have it strung on a Wilson BLX Pro.Team Fx with a 103sq.in head size. I don't use this racket very often simply because I own a lot of rackets. So, anyways this racket had been laying against a wall in my room for 3 months collecting dust(literally! I ran my finger through the frame and there was dust in it) So on a cold day(42 degrees) I took it out for a hit. Everybody knows that when conditions are cold, the racket, and the strings become stiff, rigid, and inflexible. That was not the case. I was amazed at the power that I was hitting the ball!, and yes the tennis balls were heavy. I was amazed at how comfortable this strings felt even at 42 degrees( by the way it was at night) Also, I was amazed at the spins generated by the strings. I strongly recommend this strings. Buy them now, today! Sorry forgot to mention that it was strung on my racket at 55lbs.

Comments: Polyester strings should be allowed to stretch for 4 to 5 seconds before clamping off during stringing. In addition, the outer two main strings should be tensioned at 8 lbs more than the other mains, and the lower three cross strings should be tensioned at 5 lbs more than the other crosses. This stops the tension loss during early play. I use this poly as the mains with a nylon string as the crosses in my oversize racket (110 sq. in). I (4.0 NTRP) play 3 to 4 times a week and replace the strings about every two months. This poly is one of the least stiff polys and thus is fairly easy on the wrist and shoulder.

Comments: This is now my favorite string, strung in the mains at 52 lbs with a synthetic gut in the crosses at 56 lbs. I have a history of tennis elbow, so I played for many years with soft nylon strings at low to moderate tensions (56 lbs in the mains and 52 lbs in the crosses). I tried several polyester strings, strung at 48-52 lbs in the mains and with nylons at 52-56 lbs in the crosses in my Prince EXO3 Blue, 110 square inch racquet to get greater spin. I found other polys were too stiff for me, causing wrist tendonitis. It is relatively easy on the arm and in my powerful EXO3 Blue racquet gives me just the amount of power, spin, and control that I want.

Comments: Higher tension showed great results, but once they begin to go, they go fast. Great strings, but don't expect them to last as long as others.

Comments: I concur with the previous post. I was looking for a less lively alternative in the poly domain but it supplied more power than anticipated. The bite on the ball was awesome for a couple of days but now is reduced to an ordinary poly due to tension loss.My suggestion would be to string it 15-20% above standard tension and let it sit for 2 days.

Comments: Expected a lot from this string however results are not favorable. I expected a very low power polyester and strung at mid plus I expected no power...go way too much. All my shots went too deep and spin potential was meh. If you're going to get this string I'd say 60 lbs or more

Comments: Is this a soft poly? My Luxilon Big Bangers have really messed up my shoulder as expected, just looking for a good soft poly. =)

(Aman, our TWU findings show this to actually be a soft poly.--TW Staff)

Comments: This string is amazing. I have recently purchased the new Dunlop Biomimetic 300 racquet and had it strung with this and I absolutely love it. This string's heptagonal surface offers soooo much bite while not sacrificing any power. I use to swing with Luxilon but after this I will come back to black widow definitely.
