What players say
Players who have tried Ashaway Dynamite Natural 17 describe a very soft, plush, gut-like multifilament that is comfortable and controllable at low tension. The recurring complaint is heavy string movement in open patterns, which some find makes the stringbed go ragged quickly, and durability is inconsistent.
Best for
- Arm-sensitive players
- Full bed in dense patterns
- Crosses in a hybrid with poly mains
- Players who like a gut-like plush feel
Pros
- Soft, plush, gut-like comfort reviewers compare favorably to natural gut
- Good pocketing and control when strung well below normal tension
- Works well as a cross paired with a poly main in hybrids
- Tension maintenance praised by at least one long-term user
Cons
- Strings shift noticeably after shots and don't snap back, especially in open patterns like 18x20
- Can feel too powerful/uncontrollable on larger head sizes if strung at normal tension
- Durability reports are inconsistent, from solid to short-lived

The bed was plush at this tension and power was a bit uncontrollable. The strings move like crazy after every hit, so at the end of one long point you would find huge holes.

This is a very soft and powerful multifilament with plush ball pocketing. On a 100 square inch racquet there is perhaps too much power.

I also paired Solinco Hyper G 18 at 50 lbs mains, and Ashaway Dinamite 17 at 52 lbs crosses, and I want to tell you this is a perfect combination!
— Greg, Web
I really like this string. It is soft, yet not bouncy. It allows me to hit harder and the ball stays in. Superior to other 17 gauge multifilaments I have used.
