Topspin Cyber Blue 17/1.25 String
Line: Topspin Cyber Blue
$8.49
Offers the same great control and durability as Topspin Cyber Flash string but with a softer and more dampened feel. Topspin Cyber Blue (formerly called Cyber Power) offers improved tension maintenance and added comfort over many competing co-polyester strings. The thin 17 gauge offers lots of bite and a livelier feel compared to the 16-gauge version.

What players say
Dozens of Tennis Warehouse customer reviews of this 17-gauge Cyber Blue set, spanning nearly two decades of use, describe it as one of the softer, more arm-friendly polyesters on the market with very strong tension retention. Most reviewers report good control, solid spin, and a comfortable feel close to synthetic gut, though a minority find it too dead or muted and a few report durability or arm-soreness issues.
Best for
- Players wanting a soft, arm-friendly poly instead of a stiff co-poly
- Topspin baseliners who prioritize control and comfort over raw pace
- Players prone to arm or elbow soreness from firmer polyesters
- Hybrid setups paired with natural gut or another poly on the mains
Pros
- Repeatedly described as one of the softest, most arm-friendly polys available
- Strong tension maintenance that many reviewers single out over multiple restrings
- Good control and solid topspin bite for most players, with several comparing the feel to synthetic gut
- Several long-time users report little to no elbow discomfort, even switching to it specifically for arm relief
Cons
- Some players find the feel too muted or dead, lacking the crisp pop of firmer co-polys
- A few reviewers report it loses tension and durability faster than expected, breaking down within a couple months
- At least one reviewer reported elbow and shoulder soreness despite its soft reputation
- Spin potential felt below typical poly expectations to a couple of players
