Comments: Super durable string that plays and feels like a multi-filament string. Had Wilson NXT strings
previously, and this Pro Line string is similar. Have used this one set for almost 40 hours and it's showing no signs of losing
tension yet. I'm hooked on these.
Comments: Love this string. A multi-feel and control w/poly spin. If that sounds
good, give it a try.
Comments: This is a durable string in a hybrid set- up using a synthetic gut in the crosses. I used a
Wilson BLX Pro
Tour at 58 lbs at first, which is my normal tension, then lowered it to 54 lbs to get more spin and a softer stringbed.
Now using a
Babolat Aero Pro Drive and originally strung at 59, but lowered it to 56 and it was much better. I have never had a
problem with
arm pain with any string, including this one. For polys I do prefer Luxilon ALU Power above this and any string I have
tried. It
excels in every category except maybe comfort.
Comments: This string is great! The only aspect that is lacking is spin production, however, that could
be solved by
going to the 17g or 18g. The good aspects of this string is the perfect mix of power and control. It has amazing feel
(even better
at thinner gauge), and durability. Tension maintenance is outstanding. volleys are also a dream. serving, the string has
ample pop
and spin for second serves. Overall, I give it 9.5/10 but the thinner gauge will make it a perfect 10. Also, I usually break
strings
every week but with this I've had 3 long sets and they still are great. Strung @ 58lbs on a [K] six.one. 95 16x18
Comments: Kirschbaum Pro Line II is definitely a good choice. I've tried quite a few different polyester
strings this
season, and plan to stick with these. I prefer Wilson Sensation 16 in the crosses for added control and comfort. This
setup is
durable and comfortable. I average hitting 40 hrs with (minimal string movement) before needing new strings. I play
with the Head
Extreme MP @ 54 pounds. A great product, 4 stars out of 5.
Comments: For many years, I was seeking a string that had good feel, easy on the elbow, maintains
good tension,
and durable. I believe Pro Line 2 meets all my expectations. In fact, Pro Line 2 was way above my expectations. I used
to use
Luxilon Big Banger Original but it was too stiff and lost tension too quickly. Pro Line 2 is definitely worth a try.
Comments: Wow! This is the best string I've played with yet, previously I had been using kirschbaum
competition at
52 pounds in my head extreme pro, and this string is much more durable, gives you great spin potential and is very
soft. I find
that this string is also much more forgiving when you don't hit the ball out of the centre. Great string all in all.
Comments: Nice String. Arm friendly, good pop and feel. Strung a full set @ 54lbs on a MG Extreme Pro
2009 and
the mains moved a bit too much. Durability wasn't that great, they lasted 3 weeks playing 2-4X a week. If you're
looking for a soft
copoly I highly recommend MSV Focus Hex, the strings are the business and they come in red.
Comments: Richard, string it lower, I had the same issues but then I restrung it lower at 55 and it helped
signifcantly in every aspect of the game. If you string at 60 make sure to drop it at least 4-6 pounds, and it will make a
difference
in you game. Also if you're playing on clay red clay in particular string it slightly lower like 53, but if you're playing on
harder
string it at 54 for added control.
Comments: Richard you strung it too high. Try 51-54 and then make a comment.
Comments: I have recently bought six Dunlop Roland Garros Racing frames and had them strung with
Wilson,
Tecnifibre, Gamma, Luxilon, Babolat and Kirschbaum ... all strung at 60#. After few hours of play with each racquet,
when strings
have settled, I can safely say that Kirschbaum Pro Line II 16 was by far the worse string of that lot, in every aspect that I
could
think of. Eventually I have settled on Tecnifibre X-One Biphase 16 [white], which I now use at slightly different tensions
in four of
my Dunlop frames. Two frames I strung with Gamma Pro Live Wire 16, which came out close second to Tecnifibre. To
sum up, I
wouldn't recommend the Kirschbaum Pro Line II 16 to anyone. There are far better alternatives on the market, including
the
Dunlop Tour Performance 16, that Dunlop racquets are generally sold strung with.
Comments:After many years, I had pretty much given up on finding a polyester string that offered both
feel and
kindness to my longtime, tender playing arm. This string has successfully addressed all of these issues, along with
offering some
extra pop and spin. I read some reviews that suggested that it doesn't even need to be used in a hybrid setup, so I tried
both
ways. It does play great when put in both mains and crosses, though I have gone to the 17L for maximum feel.
Durability is
good, too. Thanks, Kirschbaum!!
Comments: I have tried dozens of strings over the past 20 years from Natural gut to Tecnifibre NRG to
most of the
Gamma strings before finally settling on TNT2 16 gauge. I play with a Pro Kennex Pro7G racket, which really helps my
tennis
elbow issues. Decided to try this string based on the reviews. The first 3 times playing with it I experienced fantastic
feel and spin,
but then all of a sudden the string went dead and had almost no feel or pop to it. I strung it 4 lbs lower than I usually
string my
TNT2 (58 lbs instead of 62 lbs). These strings definitely do not move and the red color is pretty cool looking, but given
the high
cost and very short "feel" life span I do not recommend them. After that 3rd session I grabbed my back up frame strung
with TNT2
and was amazed at how much more feel these strings had than the KB after a short period of time.
Comments: Excellent string. I use a K-factor Tour 90 and string it about 57lbs., and the spin you get is
amazing.
Definitely a good buy!!
Comments: This string is made for players who need a softer stringbed. It takes a couple weeks to get
used to. It is
THE GREATEST STRING I HAVE USED. IT TOOK ME TO A NATIONAL FINAL. It is definitely the way to go.
Comments: This is the best string I have ever played with. It has the nicest feel and control of the all the
strings.
Comments: I tried this on a couple of my racquets at 55 lbs tension even though I prefer 65+. This
string is stiffer
than most and doesn't lose tension easily. It's definitely an upgrade to the Luxilon Big Banger if that gives you tennis
elbow. The
Big Banger is very forgiving, and this one is less forgiving. I would say less bite too. The Luxilon ALU Power is rougher
and can eat
into ball, and this string doesn't do that for me. I am an extreme topspin player and like the bite. After 10 hours of
play, there's
no significant string movement of the main/cross biting each other. Not bad, but I prefer the ALU in a hybrid string
pattern to
eliminate tennis elbow issues. I also use 90 sq.in or smaller racquets that are heavier than average.
Comments: This is by far the most complete performance string I have ever played with.
I have been playing tennis for 20 years and have only played with the best racquets and strings money can buy. I no
longer lose to
inferior players due to the spin potential that allows me to play aggressive and win as efficiently as possible. There is
no need for
a hybrid my MicroGEL Prestige Pro is a perfect combination the Kirschbaum Pro Line 2 string.
Comments: Awesome feeling!!! After playing all my life with ALU Power y thought that I would never find
something
better. But I did.... It outturned in all: Very sensible, more power but spite comfortable. The best came after 8 hours of
hard
playing, amazingly I noticed less movement and no drop of tension at all. I'll switch and recommend it to my fellows.
For the record I'm an 18 junior and playing futures. I tried it on my K factor Tour 95 with 56 Lbs.
