Where to buy
What players say
Reviewer discussion is limited to customer reviews on Tennis Warehouse (no YouTube, Reddit, or forum threads found specific to this string). Most reviewers who bought it call it a comfortable, arm-friendly synthetic gut that is hard to beat for the price, with one dissenting review calling out weak control and power.
Best for
- Budget-conscious players who restring often
- Players wanting an arm-friendly, soft-feeling string
- Hybrid setups as a comfort cross with a poly main
Pros
- Soft, comfortable feel that several reviewers say is easy on the arm
- Seen as very good value for the price
- One reviewer got around 20 string jobs out of a reel, calling it among the more durable synthetic guts he tried
- Works well as a cross string in a hybrid setup
Cons
- Very stretchy/elastic; a drop-weight stringer user says tension often needs to be pulled twice
- Does not hold tension as well as some comparable strings (named comparison: Prince Duraflex)
- One reviewer found it lacking in control and power and would not recommend it on that basis
