What players say
Little data 1 source
Searches across YouTube, Reddit, Talk Tennis, and written string-review sites turned up almost no independent player feedback on this exact 16-gauge Explosive Bite string. The only substantive player account found is a single customer review on Tennis Warehouse; everything else is retailer marketing copy.
Best for
- Players chasing heavy topspin from a shaped poly
- Baseliners wanting a firm, controlling string
Pros
- The one detailed player review found rated it above Hyper G, RPM Blast, Black Widow, and several Dunlop/Tourna poly alternatives for spin, comfort, and control
- That same reviewer got about a month of play from it at 53/55 lb tension, roughly three practices a week at USTA 4.0-4.5 level
Cons
- No YouTube, Reddit, or forum discussion of this exact string turned up, so there is no real consensus to report
- Retailer listings disagree on basic specs (1.30mm vs 1.32mm, co-polyester vs monofilament), making it hard to confirm claims independently
