$14.99
Aspera Triplum is one of Grapplesnake's most advanced and unique offerings. This square-shaped string features a semi-rough texture and incorporates a unique indent along two opposing sides. While square-shaped strings tend to be fairly stiff, Aspera Triplum bucks the trend by utilizing softening agents along with a particle infusion process that helps mitigate the durability and longevity trade-offs common with softer co-polys . According to Grapplesnake, Aspera Triplum rivals Grapplesnake Alpha for comfort, making it an obvious choice for those who want or need a more tendon-friendly option. Additionally, this co-poly only comes in a 1.19 mm gauge, which is thinner than the average polyester from Grapplesnake, giving it extra bite and feel. Ultimately, with its unique construction, Aspera Triplum offers up impressive levels of spin and pocketing , making it perfect for to those looking to hit with heavy spin. The fact that it's also comfortable, while lasting longer than your average co-poly, makes it awfully hard to beat.

What players say
Reviewers agree the Aspera Triplum 1.19 produces unusually high spin for a four-sided poly, with a comfortable-for-its-shape feel and solid control. The tradeoffs are modest power, noticeable movement in the string bed that needs rework during stringing, and faster-than-average wear on the ball felt.

The strong point of this string however is clearly the spin production.
— Jonas Eriksson, Web
It does deliver LOADS of spin, with a much higher launch angle than he expected from his frame.
— Simon Zeitler, Web
Power was nothing special or rather a bit underpowered.
— Andrew Hwang, Web
It stretches like taffy, and doesn't stop, during stringing.
— Kathi, Web
Good launch, spin, and tension retention after about six hours at 55 lbs in a Blade v9 98 18x20.
