The shaped profile provides exceptional bite, allowing the player to bend and shape the ball's trajectory with spin. With its thin 1.18mm diameter, this string offers exceptional feel, making it ideal for the player who wants a durable control string that does not overtax the tendons.

What players say
Independent reviews are scarce; the main player feedback comes from Tennis Warehouse customer reviews spanning 2016-2022. Most reviewers like the feel, spin, and comfort compared to other co-polys like ALU Power Rough, Hyper-G, and Kirschbaum Pro Line 11, but durability reports swing from excellent to poor.

Tried this string as a replacement for Luxilon ALU Power Rough 16L, and was not disappointed at all.
— Eric, Web
If youre looking for a lively string without the trampoline effect, I highly recommend Red Ghost.
— Joseph, Web
Even more comfortable than Kirschbaum Pro Line 11 in a racquet with a stiffness of 70.
— Steve, Web
I have about 30 hours on it in a Yonex VCore SV100 and it is only just starting to lose a little tension.
— Lee, Web
Broke after about 4 hours of hitting.

This is not a bad string but just a lesser version of the Solinco Tour Bite.
