Weiss CANNON Fire Stroke 17/1.20 String Orange
Line: Weiss CANNON Fire Stroke
$11.90
Introducing Weiss CANNON Fire Stroke ! This four sided co-poly puts a tight grip on the ball. The feel is firm without being uncomfortable, and the low power level will enable you to ratchet up the stroke speed when going for extra pace and spin. The thin 1.20mm gauge is loaded with bite. Intermediate and advanced players who want an extremely spin-friendly string should give this co-poly a serious look. Did we mention the spin?

This is not as sharp as Ultra Cable and does not provide as much spin; however, Fire Stroke provides more control.
— Jerson, Web
I like the spin and feel when they are strung fresh, but they lose touch/feel after 5-6 hours of play.
— Franco, Web
After one hour of play, it feels like a lot of tension was lost.
