What players say

Liked 2 sources

Tennis Creative's playtest of the 16/1.27 gauge scored it highest for durability and control, calling it low-powered but accurate, best suited to players who generate their own pace. Tennis Warehouse customer reviewers largely agree it is a durable, dependable all-rounder with good tension hold, though opinions on comfort are mixed, with one reviewer finding it uncomfortable despite others praising its feel.

Best for

Control-oriented players who generate their own pace
Players wanting a durable poly that holds tension
Players hybridizing with a soft multi or synthetic gut
Advanced baseliners who do not need extra power

Pros

Excellent durability, scoring 92% in Tennis Creative's test and described by one owner as lasting at least three weeks to over a month
Strong control, the string's best-rated trait after durability
Good tension maintenance noted by multiple reviewers
Decent spin access from the hexagonal profile (83% in testing)

Cons

Power is low (67% in Tennis Creative's test), so players lacking their own pace may struggle
Comfort opinions are mixed: one buyer called it uncomfortable while others praised its feel
Only sold as a 1.27mm set, not as a reel, which confused at least one buyer expecting that gauge in reel form
