What players say

Liked 4 sources

Tennis Warehouse customers who strung this 16L/1.23 hexagonal co-poly report strong durability and tension hold, with good spin and control for a budget string. A few found it too stiff for their arm, and the hex edges blunt out after roughly 8-10 hours, which dulls the spin bite.

Best for

  • Advanced players who generate their own pace
  • Players wanting a durable, control-oriented poly
  • Players chasing spin from a textured string
  • Value-focused stringers (reel pricing)

Pros

  • Holds tension well over long sessions, per multiple customer reviews
  • Durable for a thin gauge, with some players reporting 20+ hours per set
  • Good spin and control noted by several reviewers
  • Priced well for a reel, especially relative to tension/durability delivered

Cons

  • Feels stiff to some players, with at least one report of wrist soreness after two hours
  • Hex edges blunt after about 8-10 hours, reducing spin bite
  • Feel is limited, which reviewers note is typical for a stiff poly
  • Low power, so it may not suit players who can't generate their own pace

Voices

This is a very solid all-around string. Good power and great overall durability.

— Adam (Tennis Warehouse customer review), Web

Still one of the best string on the market.

— James (Tennis Warehouse customer review), Web

What you really get out of this is the durability.

— JP (Tennis Warehouse customer review), Web

Feel was not much, as to be expected with a stiff poly.
