What players say
Tennis Warehouse's playtest team found this old-school polyester firm and low on power but strong on control, spin, and durability, best suited to players with full swings. Customer reviews spanning over a decade average 4.4/5, repeatedly calling it one of the best value polys available, though a minority find it too stiff or lacking spin and feel.
Best for
- Big hitters with full swings who want control over power
- Budget-focused players who break strings often
- Hybrid setups paired with a softer cross string
- Advanced players comfortable with a firm, dead poly feel
Pros
- Strong control, even on full-speed swings, per playtesters and many customers
- Very durable and inexpensive, repeatedly called one of the best value polys
- Good spin generation for players with faster racquet head speed
- Several long-time users report no arm discomfort despite being a firm poly
Cons
- Low power and a dead, old-school feel that some players dislike
- A notable minority call it too stiff and lacking spin or feel
- Tension maintenance is inconsistent across reviewers, despite good durability
- Not recommended for players who want a lively, powerful response

I loved the control from this string.
— Siobhan, Tennis Warehouse playtest team, Web
The ball didn't fly, so the power/control combination was really great for me.
— Etienne (FL), Tennis Warehouse customer review, Web
I felt confident being aggressive with this string and taking full cuts.
— Anonymous (TX), Tennis Warehouse customer review, Web
This string is a terrible poly. There is no spin.
— Old George (MD), Tennis Warehouse customer review, Web
This is the only poly I found so far that I have no muscle problems with after several hours of hitting.

They lack feel and spin, so I use TNT in the crosses
