Weiss CANNON Blue Rock N Power 17L/1.20 Hybrid String
Line: Weiss CANNON Blue Rock N Power
$13.50
Attention big hitters looking for a spin machine. We have the perfect hybrid for you. It's called Blue Rock N Power and it delivers surgical control and massive spin potential. Unlike a traditional hybrid, this one features two poly-based strings. The main string is a 4 sided co-poly with extremely sharp edges (think bite). The cross strings are round and slippery to enable the main strings to snap back with extra force (think heavy spin). Durability is impressive for a thin gauge. Did we mention the spin potential?

What players say
Tennis Warehouse University testers rated this co-poly hybrid very highly for spin and control, praising the square-profile mains for bite and the round crosses for snap-back. Tennis Warehouse customer reviews are more split: several players confirm strong spin and slice, but others report a harsh feel, a broken cross string while stringing, and mains/gauge that measure thicker and heavier than the listed 1.20mm.
Best for
- Advanced players who want maximum spin and control
- Players who hit with full swings and want grip on mishits
- Players willing to pre-stretch and restring often
- Not recommended for beginners or arm-sensitive players
Pros
- Square-profile mains grab the ball strongly for topspin and slice
- High control reported even on full-swing, aggressive shots
- Holds up well durability-wise for some players, with one customer reporting little tension loss before it broke
- Pre-stretching the string before install noticeably improves playability duration
Cons
- Firm, stiff feel that some testers and customers found harsh or uncomfortable
- Co-poly construction loses tension quickly, with one tester wanting to cut it out after three weeks
- At least one customer had a cross string break during stringing at a moderate 52 lbs
- Multiple customers report the string measuring thicker and heavier than the advertised 17L/1.20mm, shifting racquet balance

The square main string's ridiculously sharp edges did a great job of grabbing the ball.

Firm. There's no doubt about it, this string played firm through the playtest for me.
— Chris, Tennis Warehouse University playtester, Web
When I was taking a full cut at the ball I felt confident my shots would land inside the lines.
— Michelle, Tennis Warehouse University playtester, Web
After three weeks, I definitely would cut the strings out and start fresh.

Not as pleasant on the arm to hit with as a good multifilament, but nicer than other polys I have tried.

I don't think I will try again since I am afraid it will happen again and waste my time stringing it.
