Head Synthetic Gut PPS 17 String Customer feedback
Comments: I am a junior satellite player who is about 4.5 and I used these strings throughout most of the summer. I like to get the most power possible and I noticed that it had excellent pop and easy access to spin. The bad things about it were that it lost tension fast. I was constantly fixing my strings with the "string thing," which made the outside "power strip" break and eventually the string broke when I started hitting big forehands in a match. I would strongly recommend this string to players who like their slice or are clay court specialists.
Comments: I am a fairly good junior who has won a few tournaments and I used to always play with poly/co-poly strings. My friend recommended I try these strings. I absolutely love them! They have great power and nice control. The only thing I found a bit annoying was there durability. I bought 16, 17 and 18 gauge just to see what they were like and let me just say they don't last long. I would definitely recommend these strings to anyone who isn't a frequent string breaker or strings there own racquets.
Comments: I currently use a Microgel Prestige MP with lead tape under the grommets at about 12.1 ounces. I strung this in there at 56 lbs and I love it! i have tried almost every single poly there is and about 70% of all other synthetic strings and for the price, i like this because it plays consistent from start to finish. It lasts me about 6-10 hours of good hitting at a 4.5 level.
Comments: Tried the string, and I liked it. Definitely worth buying to try out at least once. I ended up liking it more than Prince Syn Gut 17, unfortunately no durability. It lasts me about 6hrs if I'm not hitting my best. When I'm hitting all out on a good day no more then 5hrs usually less, hits nice, decent feel and good power (for the price). Doesn't hold tension all that great, but since it goes pretty quick its not really a problem. Definitely a string worth trying out (the 18G is amazing although it has no durability what-so-ever).
Comments: I usually don't go for the cheaper synthetic gut strings ($3-$4 ones) but I have hit with a few before that I liked. My local pro shop had these in stock so I figured I'd just try them out for the fun of it. Overall I have to say that this is a pretty bad string as far as feel goes. My string of choice is Head IntelliTour 17g hybrid. I noticed a considerable reduction in spin production with this string as compared to my usual. That doesn't help considering my Head LM Radical has a dense 18/19 string pattern. And the feel just wasn't great especially at the higher tension that I like.
Comments: I did not like this string as much as Gosen Generic 17. I don't
expect much out of a 17G synthetic, but both playability and durability were worse than the
Gosen, which is cheaper by the reel.
Comments: I have tried many strings and I really liked the way this feels. It
added a lot of bite to the ball. The only drawback is the durability. I'm a baseliner who hits
with heavy topspin and hard flat serves and heavy kick serves. I get about 3 hours or
approximately 3 sets out of this string. Easy to string if you have your own stringer and this
string is easy on the arm. I would definitely recommend this string. I will, however, wait and
see if it becomes available in a reel. If you're not a big hitter, then you will probably get the
durability you’re used to with a thinner 17 gauge. Currently use Wilson Stamina 17, which
lasts twice as long, but with less playability.
