Mixed experience, not sure yetI tried this string because it falls in the range of stiffness I prefer in polys and is supposed to have the best tension maintenance of any poly. But that was not my experience.
I strung it at 53-lb in a Prince ATS Textreme Tour 98. 53-lb is the exact midpoint of the tension recommendation, and pretty high for a moderately stiff poly. It was strung on a high-end Wilson Baiardo constant pull machine by a guy who has been stringing my racquets for years. Started out fine, but lost tension much faster than expected and much faster than reviews and specs say it should. The string has massive, monster spin capability and is fun, but it became a trampoline after a couple of sets, giving a huge change in launch angle and loss of control that I was unable to adjust to, forcing me to cut it out after a few hours of play, very prematurely.
I'm trying out several different strings, and I only bought one of these, with high expectations. I may give it another go, but will string it at or near the top of the tension range for the racquet. Hopefully it will drop and hold (as it is claimed to do...) where I want it and last for a decent amount of time. I'm currently playing either Luxilon 4G soft 16 or Isospeed Cream 16L, both of which play similarly and last me 3-4 weeks playing 3-4 times a week. I expected at least that (and more...) from the Tourna Big Hitter Silver 7, but it didn't come close in this first trial.

Comments: If you loved Big Hitter Black 7, but wanted a slightly softer offering, this is your string. I have been playing with this string for three weeks and the tension is very close to where I had it strung, 58 pounds, I string tight so adjust for the initial drop. Big Hitter Black 7 is my go-to and I played them back to back for reference and the spin seems to be just slightly less than Big Hitter Black 7, but the additional feel and comfort have been a plus. I have not experienced any arm or elbow pain at all. It also seems to have a little more pop than the Big Hitter Black 7. I highly recommend this if you are looking for a shaped polyester with decent feel and pop as opposed to the normal polyester characteristics. Great addition Tourna!

Comments: Tension maintenance is almost as good as advertised. Decent spin, good control. Feel is terrible, as is the case with most stiffer polyester strings. Ultimately that was a deal breaker, as was the power being too low. These just might be personal preferences though. The normal string for me is Cyclone 16 gauge.

Comments: They just got it right! It holds tension, great spin, no arm pain, great control and the price! I've tried all strings out there and I string myself. They last me 8 hours which is great. The RPM Blast and 4G I used to play with before broke much quicker.
