What players say
Reviewers on Tennis Warehouse split on this budget synthetic gut: several found it soft on the arm and good value for the price, while others reported early breakage and inconsistency between sets, with a couple suspecting a bad manufacturing batch. No video or forum coverage of this exact 16-gauge version turned up, so the picture rests on a small pool of written customer reviews.
