Comments: Coming from Volkl Cyclone 17, I was very pleased. Hyper-G had better feel, better responsiveness, more spin, and more power. I am finding the Hyper-G to last slightly shorter than Cyclone, but with the upgrades in every other category I can't look past it. New string of choice! I'm 23 years old, 6'5" male and a 4.0 player.

Comments: I really like this string, much more than other Solinco products I've tried before. It has enough oomph and forgiveness to work for me, even in an 18x20 frame. It doesn't last as well as ALU Power does, I'd say Power gives me around 20% more useful life, but when you factor in the cost of both, it's pretty much a similar value. I know the color is a deal breaker for some, but it reminds me of the late 1980s, when neon strings were pretty popular. I've never had an opportunity to try Revolution. Perhaps those two Solinco offerings share some similarities.

Comments: I love, love, love it! This is how I describe this string on my Wilson RF97 Autograph at 56 lbs. All you can read on the TW review was true. Thank you Solinco for this kind of string.

Comments: This was a wonderful string during the time I played with it. First week playing with it was really nice, I had enough power and surprising amounts of spin. My balls were landing deeper than my usual string setup which is Volkl Cyclone 16g yellow. Although I think I played with it a little bit too late since it lost it's playability in the second week. It has been sitting in my bag for at least two weeks before I started playing with it so I'm pretty sure that cut the playability of the string. Overall, I really like this string and I would get this string again. Played with customized Babolat Pure Strike 18x20 (2014) around 52 lbs. I'm a strong 3.5-4.0 player that plays at least 12 hours a week.

Comments: At first I was underwhelmed with this string. But after more extensive hitting with it, I'm converted. I find myself keep coming back to the racquet strung with this string for one reason: consistency. Despite the low tension I string at, the ball comes off the strings in a consistent, repeatable manner, shot after shot, more so than my Cyberflash 17. I'm honestly impressed. The same can't be said for other softer polys like Technifibre Cobra, which I'm also testing. Also, I'm no longer having wrist issue with this string, interestingly. The only thing preventing me from switching to this string is I want to test Tour Bite and Tour Bite Soft before making my decision, but this string is definitely impressive so far.

Comments: This string is awesome. I play with a Wilson Blade 16x19 and these strings perform unbelievably well in it. I am a die hard Luxilon guy with 4g and Element but I have always wished they made those strings in some form of gear shaped. Hyper G has great pop,control and spin. Right now I have 16g in my racquet because my stringer ran out of 17g. 17g pockets way more and grips the heck out of the ball. I wish they made this sting in black or the grey they have. The color is a little annoying.

Comments: Tried this string after one of my USTA teammates (5.0) started using it on a regular basis. I was using Black Widow and ALU Rough and now have to say I have already switched over. The string feels so good and comfortable, balls coming off the bed feel so powerful yet so under control. I felt they would go long and hit inside the baseline. Serves so easy to control. Now keeping this in the bag with the RS Lyon. My two favorite strings! Try it. I have it on my Pure Aero (weighted).
From: David, 8/16
Comments: I like this string as much as I like Solinco Revolution. It has a very similar feel, strung at 50 lbs in my Babolat Pure Aero. Great spin, control, and power with full swings. I will continue using these two strings from Solinco as I have for the past two years.
From: Andrew, 7/16
Comments: Yup. Wowza. Real good stuff here! String it loose and enjoy the smooth ride! Strung on a Prince Response 97 full bed at 42 lbs. More please. First Name:
From: Anonymous, 6/16
Comments: Control is very good. Same amount of usual spin. I can take full swings from the baseline and it has nice touch at the net. Not lacking for power.
From: David, 5/16
Comments: This string is very impressive. I am a high school tennis player who plays tennis every day for at least and hour or two. It is durable as a wire, and has exceptional touch and power. At the net, the feel was on point during some volley exchanges. I would recommend to string it a little loose (about 2 lbs), just like you would with most poly strings. I used this string on Babolat APD 2014.
From: Peter, 7/15
Comments: Finally someone cracked the code on ALU Rough. This is basically Lux ALU Rough, but at a much cheaper price. The bite on the ball is great and the durability is impressive. I currently use this as a poly hybrid with Kirsch Pro Line II. Strung at 57/55 lbs in a Head Prestige Microgel MP. Great feel. I definitely recommend this poly for players looking for a cheaper Lux option.
From: Bruce, 4/15
Comments: This is great stuff - more durable than natural gut and similar in playing characteristics. It has a soft and crisp feel. I get a lot of spin out of these. They also fix in place pretty well compared to other synthetics. I like the soft feel. I haven't experienced a better string than this so far.
