Dunlop Hexy Fiber 17 String Customer feedback

Comments: I liked the Hexy Fiber sting. It never moves on my racquet. I am using a Head Microgel 107. I am a 3.5 player. I would buy it again.
From: Fred, 4/12

Comments: I would have to agree with most of the comments, especially around durability and feel. I can see what Dunlop was trying to go for with a multifilament but unfortunately, poly based strings seem to work best for shaped strings. I bought 2 sets of these but can't bring myself to use the 2nd set on another racquet after my experience with the 1st set.

Comments: Loses tension fast and becomes unplayable. Tried stringing tighter same thing. Great string the first hour or 2. Signum Pro Tornado holds tension and plays well.
From: Anon. 6/11

Comments: Never again will I use this string. The only positive was that there was a lot of spin on offer for the first 4-5 hours of play and very arm friendly. The string moves a lot on almost every shot and does not recoil back at all due to the rough texture. You are left to straighten them after every hit. Very annoying. It lost tension fast and for a multifilament, the durability was horrible. It broke after playing 3 times. 55 pounds - BLX Six one tour 90

Comments: Just ordered this string and put it in my Dunlop Aerogel 500 Tour 4D, strung at about 62lbs. For reference, I generally use inexpensive synthetics, like Prince XXL, Gosen Micro Sheep, etc, all at 17 gauge. The Dunlop string is noticeably softer than the other synthetics. It stretches significantly when you string it.
The hexagonal shape makes stringing a little more difficult as it doesn't feed over string smoothly. As far as playing, it is a decent string. Takes about 30 minutes to settle and is a soft string. Less power, little more control and spin. While I think the low priced synthetics are better overall, this string will be good for big hitters who want to produce a lot of spin. There is initially less string movement. Not sure on durability but will re-post when I have gone through two sets. For what it's worth, Gosen Micro Sheep is a well-held secret. It is next to nothing per set and hits nicely.
