Gamma AMP Moto 17/1.24 String
Line: AMP Moto
$10.99
Gamma Moto 17 is a firm co-poly offering more than just control and durability. With its 7 sharp edges this one bites hard. The result is massive spin potential . We found this string to have surprisingly good pocketing for a firm monofilament, with very impressive responsiveness and decent comfort at lower tensions.

What players say
Tennis Warehouse customer reviews of this 17-gauge Gamma Moto, spanning over a decade, split between players who like the bite, control, and crisp pop at the sweetspot and players who find it too stiff, hollow-sounding, or hard on the arm in a full bed. Several reviewers hybrid it with a softer poly or multi to offset the firmness, and durability runs short at roughly 1-2 weeks for frequent players.
Best for
- Players wanting extra bite and control from a firm co-poly
- Hybrid mains paired with a softer poly or multi on crosses
- Frequent stringers who don't mind restringing every 1-2 weeks
- Gamma Ocho users looking for a cheaper, thinner substitute
Pros
- Several reviewers single out strong control and spin bite, calling it crisp with good pop when hit in the sweetspot
- One longtime Gamma Ocho user found it an effective, bargain-priced substitute with slightly more bite on the ball
- A couple of players reported it softened and became more comfortable after breaking in for a day or so
- One reviewer found it more comfortable than their frame's stock string
Cons
- Repeatedly described as stiff on the full bed, pushing several reviewers to hybrid it with a softer poly or multi
- More than one reviewer reported a hollow or unpleasant "ping" sound off the stringbed
- One reviewer said it lacked spin and power and aggravated existing elbow pain at 55 lbs in a dense pattern
- Short lifespan for regular players, with one reviewer restringing every 1-2 weeks

Not sure why these gamma polys don't get more praise.
— Randy, Web
I absolutely love it. Very crisp with plenty of control and nice pop when you hit cleanly in the sweetspot.
— Aj, Web
My only knock on the string is that I have to hybrid with another softer feeling poly.
— Wemdell, Web
However, this belongs to the stiff side so power was not that good.
— JD, Web
it was awful. No spin, no power, and it woke up my elbow pain that had been controlled.
— Dan, Web
The ping sound it made was terrible. Therefore, I cut it out.
