The string features a Zyex multifilament core for increased power and improved tension maintenance with a braided surface for improved spin.

What players say
Independent coverage of this string is almost nonexistent: no YouTube reviews, Reddit threads, Talk Tennis discussion, or written reviews from sites like Tennisnerd turned up. The only verifiable player feedback is a single Tennis Warehouse customer review from a recreational player who used it as a soft cross with poly mains.
Best for
- Soft cross string in a hybrid with poly mains
- Players nursing arm or elbow soreness
Pros
- Reviewer found it very soft and comfortable paired with polyester mains
- Held up three weeks with no issues for that player
Cons
- Only one known player review exists, so durability and performance claims are unverified beyond one person's experience
- No independent data on power, control, or spin from multiple sources
- Needs stringing 10-20% below normal tension per maker guidance, which other players have not corroborated

This string is realy soft and has been a good companion to the main Poly. Been using it for 3 weeks and no problems.
