What players say
Tennis Warehouse customer reviews of the Gosen Polylon 16/1.29 reel praise it as a cheap, durable co-poly, with several players and a coach citing it as a go-to for string breakers. Feel is reported inconsistently across reviewers, with some calling it stiff and others soft, and the clear colorway in particular draws complaints for feeling mushy compared to black.
Best for
- Frequent string breakers on a budget
- Players who want a crisp, low-stretch poly and don't need top-end spin
- Hybrid setups (per older customer reports)
Pros
- Very durable; several reviewers call it one of the longest-lasting polys they've used
- Good value for a 660' reel
- Crisp, playable feel noted by multiple reviewers for a budget poly
- Coach-reported pick for high-level players who need durability
Cons
- Feel is inconsistent across reviewers: some call it stiff, others soft or dead after it loses tension
- Spin is described as average to low by several reviewers, including one who switched from a multifilament
- Clear colorway reported as noticeably softer and gummier when stringing than the black version
- One reviewer found the crosses chipped within about two weeks of frequent play

I coach high level players most of them play with this string for the durability and feel.

The clear version strings and plays nothing like the black version - the clear is much softer and has "gummy" feel when stringing.

I don't get quite the spin out of them that I did with other strings
