Overview
An excellent co-polymer string with some extra sting . The Weiss Cannon Scorpion offers all the control of a regular polyester but with more pop. We found some nice ball pocketing with this one resulting in excellent spin, control, ball speed and a softer hit.

String @ 35lbs cross onlyTried all gauges of Scorpion its the GOAT for Xs - clean predictable pop, feel w/ pearl slippery surface BUT only @ 36-40lbs go higher with your fave shaped poly mains @ 4-8lbs higher & watch your abilities transform to psychic superpowers. No BS this is my gift to tennis lovers.

Comments: I have tested most Weiss Cannon strings now: this is the only one I'm not impressed by. Surprisingly boardy and missing the spring that their other thinner strings have: the Scorpion 1.22 plays much better - more lively and pockets more than this. If you want a control string, slightly 'dead' and long lasting, try this - but I suggest a low tension, because even @ 52 lbs mains in a Volkl 10 MP - bland and boardy. Suggest high 40s to find some pop and maybe liven up crosses with something else.

Comments: Tested this string in a hybrid combination with the Tecnifibre NGR2 string in the crosses. The combination felt very stiff. I think I should have tried this one with 50 and 54 tension because at this tension power was hard to get, spin was very limited, and power & spin on the serve was hard to get. I ended up cutting the string. I still have the other half of each so I might try this one again at a lower tension. But not now.

Comments: As polys go, this one is medium powered and seems to stay in place a little less well than other strings of its type. Tension maintenance is good. Spin production average, less so than the Luxilons. All in all, nothing special to recommend it.
