Comments: Strung this on a Wilson nTour at 55-60lbs. You need solid contact and racquet speed for these strings. They are incredibly stiff and will kill your elbow if you aren't regularly hitting the sweet spot. I think a 5.0+ player can handle these strings. On my good days, these strings are the best, but playing average or below, feels like I need herculean strength. Overall, I would recommend to advanced players with full strokes.

Comments: I have used ALU Power Rough for many years, I gave Polylon a try as I wanted some more pop (haven't been happy with any hybrids) and a thinner gage poly might do the trick. I've been hitting heavily with it for two days and absolutely love it. I love the extra pop and spin. My 2 handed backhand is finally doing some damage. Slice is slicier, top spin forehands and serves have more action on them. If I have to restring every week to maintain this, it will be worth it.

Comments: I've used this for several years on the mains or crosses, but on mains especially where it will pocket nicely. I use a soft type in the crosses like Gosen Sheep or Gosen SP (now called Polyquest) at less then 50 pounds tension. It's extremely economical. I restring often and get great performance.

Comments: I have been using this string for over a year now, and I absolutely love it! I used to pop Babolat polys in weeks, and when I tried these strings (mainly for the price) I was pleasantly surprised. They last me at least a month of intense hitting (10-12 hours a week), and they have an amazing and genuine polyester feel. If you are a big hitter spending a lot on strings, I highly recommend you give them a try. And if you don't like them, its only $3!
From: Andrew, 8/12

Comments: I have been using these strings for the past couple months. The strings play well, good spin, can hit deep, decent control, but the feel of the string is horrid. When I used it with my Wilson BLX Tidal Wave, it didn't bother me too much, but when I switched to an AeroPro it started to bug me a lot. Also the string power dies after a couple of days, but the strings do not break. I would recommend this string to a person that strings their own racquets but has a tight budget. (I strung at various tensions all with very similar results)
