ISOSPEED Energetic 17 String Customer feedback
Comments: The term "pleasant surprise" is definitely deserved. Seems to do everything nicely for a pretty decent
price.
Comments: I was pleasantly surprised by the performance and durability of this string. I have no problem
generating spin and I like the combination of control and power I get from this string. It is stiff for a multi but that is one of the
reasons that I like this string, because it does not get mushy/trampoline like. I had this strung on Head Speed Pro at 58 lbs.
Comments: I love this string. It has great control, power, and maintains tension, easy on the elbow. After
Tecnifibre discontinued the TR PRO, it took me two years to find this string, which I like even better. It is very gentle on my elbow.
There is plenty of pop on my serve and excellent touch on my volleys. Frankly I hit a pretty flat to slice ball, so I cannot comment
on spin - I certainly get bite on my drop shots and drop volleys. I am a good 4.0 doubles player with a Volk PB3 110 square in
strung at 60 lbs.
Comments: I love this string. I put 2 lbs less than normal on my Head Prestige (64) and it feels great. A perfect
balance of power and control and it feels like the sweetspot increased in size, no hard vibrations if you hit outside the center. It
also gives me plenty of spin
Comments: Have tried both 16 and 17 gauge. 16 gauge lasts a tad longer, while
17 gauge is noticeably livelier. Prefer the 17 gauge: the livelier feel of the 17 is worth more
than the bit of extra durability of the 16. Others comment that the 16 feels dead; while this
may be more or else true, control is not lacking in the 16. The 16 allows you to get out of the
stringbed only what you put into it, not more or less--the stringbed (and your shots) becomes
predictable this way. Reducing tension could add pop. Both play best newly strung and
maintain tension noticeably thereafter. Vibration is somewhat muted on both versions (less
muted on 17). One could actually play without a vibration dampener. This quality may help
the elbow a bit. The 17 has all the benefits (tension maintenance and muted vibration) of
the 16 with the added benefit of a livelier responding stringbed. They are both control strings
if you know what to do.
Comments: Well, my first impression is that it plays like kevlar without that pesky
durability. Spin production is weak compared to my regular string, Gosen OG micro, and I
didn't like the stiff feel. I'll give it a few more sets before I cut it out, but isospeed energetic is
probably not going to be one of my favorites.
I'm a 4.0 all court player using a prince thunderlite mp, strung at 63lbs.
Comments: At first, I thought I had found the perfect string. It feels good, got lots
of spin, and lasted a long time. However, it was too good to be true because after a week,
my arm was hurting so bad I thought it was going to fall off. Back to the drawing board on my
search for the perfect affordable string.
