Diadem Solstice Power 15L/1.35 String
Line: Solstice Power
$13.95
Diadem Solstice Power is a comfortably firm co-poly with a six-pointed star shape. The result is a string that combines a low-friction surface with maximum ball bite. In other words, this string was built for spin - massive spin. Intermediate and advanced players looking for a comfortable co-poly with pinpoint control have come to the right place. Try this thick 15L gauge for extra durability and directional control.

What players say
Diadem Solstice Power's six-pointed star shape earns consistent praise for spin and a surprisingly soft feel for a co-poly, with Tennis Warehouse's playtest (done on the thinner 16L/1.25 gauge) scoring it high on spin and control but low on playability duration as tension drops off late. A buyer who tried the 15L/1.35 gauge specifically found it fine in a traditional dense pattern but harsh on off-center hits in an open spin-pattern frame, and an instrumented test tags the 1.35 gauge for spin, control, and tension-holding.
Best for
- Players chasing extra spin
- Control-minded baseliners
- Dense, traditional string patterns
- Players wanting a softer-feeling poly
Pros
- strong spin from the shaped profile and grippy surface
- comfortable, soft feel for a polyester
- solid control and ball pocketing
- 15L/1.35 gauge holds tension reasonably well per instrumented testing
Cons
- tension drops and the string gets erratic late in its life
- can feel harsh on off-center hits in open, spin-oriented patterns
- power is on the lower side

very harsh on off-center hits

The grippy feel that this string gave on impact was fairly unique for me.

It lost tension too quickly and became too powerful for my taste.
