Solinco ConfidentialOver the last six months I've tried a variety of strings (brands like Babolat, Head, Tourna, Tecnifibre and Solinco) in a search for the best option. The Confidential is by far the best string I've used. Exceptional tension maintenance and resistance to notching, while producing great spin and power. Confidential also has good feel and comfort, particularly for a poly. Highly recommend!
Solinco Confidential stringA very good string; the best poly. It maintains tension more than other polyesters and feel vivid more of the time.
Confidential 18g HybridBased on TW University's score on stiffness for this string (222 for 16g), I opted to hybrid it with Tier One Ghostwire and I couldn't be happier. I play with several old HEAD i.Radical Oversize racquets and use between 57 and 60lbs tension on the mains and 4lbs less on the Ghostwire crosses. Very plush feeling.
Not a spin monster but control and feel and playability duration are ALL top notch.
There is initial tension loss and then you are good for 3-4 weeks (3-times/week). Who could ask for more?
Confidential in 18gI've tried Tour bite soft and HyperG soft in 18g and they were much stiffer. In a full bed, this is a mushy string. But I don't play full beds. So when I pair this with my current go to cross (Isospeed v18) which is fairly firm for a 19g, I get a very well behaving string bed that offers a nice balance between spin generation, control and power. For me, I've run this full time for 3 months at a time and the only reason i'm cutting out now is because the weather has gone from cold to hot. I also tried 17g, but I find the 18 works better and lasts just as long a time. I guess I'm not a string breaker because I've never broken Conf 18g.
Love this stringPrefer it over the Hyper-G. Strung at 53 lbs on Yonex V-Core. One of my favorite strings.
The BestBetter than most strings I've ever used. Control, spin and power in 1 package. Main at 56, ALU power rough as crosses at 54. Heaven.

Confidential 18I strung my mfil 200 with this string at 48lbs and it's going on my second week or about 10 hours playing time and it's still holding tension. I love this string!
Good for one matchThis is a great control poly string that if you have good technique with spin you can swing away and it will stay in the court. The downside is that this string loses tension quickly and the playability characteristic is different even after one match.
Converted from RevolutionI have been using Solinco Revolution for a couple of years, and liked it when it is first strung (after a couple of weeks it starts to fly some). It was soft enough and lively enough for my arm to go off gut crosses. Now I tried this and no question I am staying with this. Confidential is fine with my arm, not harsh, but gives a crisp level of control and spin without losing pace. Seems more consistent even after a couple of weeks. I have it in a Pure Strike at 54 mains 52 crosses lbs.
Previous Feedback
Comments: I enjoyed hitting with this string very much. I have it in my Blade 104v7 at 46.5 pounds. I liked this string much more than the Hyper-G Soft 18 gauge at 46.5 pounds. I felt like it gave me more spin and better feel.
p>Comments: Video review is spot on. Firmer and more crisp than Hyper-G, less so than Tour Bite, my favorite. I would say it plays similar to Babolat RPM Blast at a significantly lower price point.From: Mike, 10/26/20
