What players say
Mixed 1 source
Only a handful of customer reviews exist for this Forten kevlar/synthetic gut hybrid, mostly on Tennis Warehouse. Buyers like the control, feel, and low price versus Ashaway kevlar, but more than one reviewer reports the 18-gauge kevlar mains breaking early at the grommets.
Best for
- Budget-minded control hybrid setup
- Spin-focused baseliners
- Players stringing low for extra feel
- Oversize frames needing less power
Pros
- Cheaper than comparable kevlar hybrids like Ashaway, per reviewers
- Good feel and control, especially strung at lower tension
- Decent spin and ball connection
- Lasts 6-8 weeks for a frequent player despite thin gauge, one reviewer says
Cons
- 18-gauge kevlar mains reported breaking at grommets and tie-offs early
- Slightly underpowered for some players
- Very few reviews, almost all from one retailer's customer review section
- Only sold in sets, not full reels, which one reviewer wanted

The 18 gauge mains will break at grommets and tie-offs even though the string has not been used for many hits.
