What players say

Mixed 2 sources

No video reviews, Reddit threads, or forum posts turned up for this exact reel; the only player voices found are buyer comments on Tennis Warehouse's listings for this string (sold as a 660ft reel and as 40ft sets). Feedback splits between players who call it a decent, affordable, comfortable synthetic gut and heavy topspin hitters who report it breaking fast and dulling their spin.

Best for

  • Budget-minded players who restring often
  • Cross string in a hybrid setup
  • Flat or moderate-swing players
  • Players who want a soft, gut-like feel at low cost

Pros

  • Several reviewers call it comfortable and soft, with one saying it feels natural
  • Rated a good value, low-cost option by multiple Tennis Warehouse reviewers
  • One reviewer found it lasted about two weeks of regular play
  • One reviewer was impressed by the topspin it produced

Cons

  • Heavy topspin hitters report it breaking quickly, one got less than two full matches from it
  • One reviewer felt it reduced the spin his racquet normally produced
  • Control and power rated only average by at least one reviewer
  • One reviewer felt the WearGuard wrap made it feel less like natural gut

Voices

The string itself is fine; just an average synthetic gut.

This is a good low cost cross string.

— Jack, Denver USA, Tennis Warehouse reviewer, Web

It has taken away most of the spin my racquet used to have.

— Bobby, Stamford CT, Tennis Warehouse reviewer, Web

A very good and affordable string. It lasts pretty long.

— Michael, Long Beach CA, Tennis Warehouse reviewer, Web

I did not even get 2 matches out of it.

— Mark, Orlando FL, Tennis Warehouse reviewer, Web

I'm amazed by how much top spin it gives.
