Comments: This string plays pretty crisp. Spin and power is all there. Like others suggest, durability is the main downside. I'm usually not a string breaker as I hit with a fairly eastern forehand and each set of strings lasts me about 2 months or so before they break -- playing 1-2 times a week. In fact, you will notice the fraying after the first session (as someone else has mentioned). But it does maintain its qualities pretty well, I must say. I usually know when I'm about to snap a string but the playability stays right til the end, rather than go dead or send balls flying. It's a good value for money string. In some ways the quick life span may be preferred by some guys that like the occasional fresh string job. I used to have to cut out my strings instead when I notice the tension has gone way off but this one allows me to keep playing until it snaps. Others may prefer alternatives like gosen OG sheep micro which is another value for money synthetic. I've used those before and I rekon those lasts longer but it clearly loses playability at some point. To each his own.
From:Alan, 6/16Comments: Using this in the crosses with a poly in the mains for a hybrid. Did a full set of this string at 60 on the PS 88, it lasted only 2 hours but the feel was really great. At about 4 bucks for a whole set, this string is great for tourney play when you want a little more feel. However, the strings did fray to the point where I had to cut them after about 10 hours of play with my hybrid set up.

Comments: This is a nice string, with good playability, good comfort, and excellent control. On the downside, after just one session it started to fray really badly. Looks like the wearguard fibers are peeling off rapidly. Granted this was on a rather wet day, but its something I've never experienced with any other synthetic gut with or without anti-wear fibers. Maybe it's a defective batch... Performance was not affected though it doesn't look like it's going to last beyond my third time playing with it.

Comments: I'd been playing with very thin polyester strings for a few years now, because I like spin and I'd been hitting out too much. After a while, though, I've gotten my control issues somewhat resolved and realized I'd lost pop on my serve and feel for drop shots and even normal volleys. So I switched to these, and I'm amazed at the difference! These strings pocket the ball very well, and are lively without much loss of control. I think I'll be sticking with these for a while. :)

Comments: I used to hit with Kevlar hybrids with syn. gut due to the solid clean crisp feel. I am surprised that I get a similar feel with this string! Good bit of spin, not too "dull and dead" like the other mono nylons, and it is cheap!

Comments:Fantastic string! I was looking for a more durable alternative to Babolat conquest and I've found it! Even with the thin gauge it mixes very well with Babolat duralast tour. Durability is an issue but if you use single filament mains this string is a fantastic on the crosses! I use Yonex RDS 001 MID strung with Babolat duralast mains, Gamma syn gut wear guard on the crosses @ 55lbs.

Comments: Excellent string, great feel, really arm friendly and with nice pop. The only downside I find is durability. In my hands it doesn't last more than 3 hours (it breaks).

Comments: This is my benchmark for any string. I try all sorts of strings. If it isn't better than this one, forget it.

Comments: A great string for feel and power, for a grat price.
