Volkl Power Fiber II 17 String Customer feedback

Comments: I see comments that say this string lasts a long time, but I pop a string about every 3 weeks....that said, this is the only string I use. (17#) Great feel, nice bite on the ball.

Comments: I strung this up on my girlfriend's Head Extreme Team (@ 52 lbs). First, I must say that this string is a dream to work with. It strings up like a wet noodle! Forten Sweet 17 is the only string I've used that comes close for ease of stringing. I will buy more of this string. Anyway, my GF loves it. It's easy on her arm, has ample power, good spin, and, most importantly for her, the black string looks good on her racquet :-). She (a 3.5) doesn't hit with a lot of pace or spin, so the fraying described by others is not a problem. I intend to try it as a cross with poly mains.

Comments: Great feel and power. Poor durability, even by multi standards.

Comments: Before I used this string, used Wilson NXT Tour 17. I liked that string, but the Powerfibre is a major improvement. It holds tension better, and the strings don't move. I also found it much easier to put topspin and slice on the ball. I have it strung at 54 pounds on a Babolat XS 105. I feel like I can be more aggressive from the control that these strings provide. However, power is not lacking either. I've only been playing for 6-7 months, so I've never broken a string before, and I guess I'll just have to wait and see with durability.

Comments: I have been playing with natural gut for the couple years, but wanted to try something less expensive, and decided to give this string a try. I love it. Excellent bite on the ball. (I had it strung at 58#.)

Comments: Excellent touch, feel and comfort with this string. I play with a Volkl Tour 10 V-Engine and string in the mid-50 lbs range. As mentioned it does start to shed the outer coating a bit earlier than other multi's, but seems to last just as long despite the shedding. One interesting characteristic of this string is when it starts shedding it imparts more spin on the ball.

Comments: This string has great control and feel. However, it tends to "shed" the outerlayer quickly, but even without it, it lasts a surprisingly long time. If you like hitting with heavy spin and good precision, it's definitely worth the $13. I have found that you increase the play length without giving up much feel if you use this multifilament in the crosses and a polyester in the mains.
From: Blake, Albuquerque, NM, USA. 02/05

Comments: Great tension maintenance, but the outer wrapping frays really quickly. Other than that, great value, especially in 17g.
