What players say
Tennis Warehouse customer reviews, spanning nearly two decades, describe Silverstring 17/1.20 as an unusually soft and arm-friendly polyester that holds tension longer than most co-polys. A minority of reviewers call it dead-feeling, low-power, or stiff compared to newer polys. No video reviews, Reddit threads, or independent lab tests turned up for this exact gauge.
Best for
- Players with arm sensitivity who still want a poly
- Players who restring infrequently and want stable tension
- Topspin baseliners and all-courters
- Players moving from gut or multifilament to poly
Pros
- Described repeatedly as soft and comfortable for a polyester, with several reviewers reporting no arm problems over years of use
- Tension maintenance called out as a strength, with some players going 2-3 months between restrings
- Several long-time users call it the best co-poly they have tried for control and feel
- Works at low tensions (mid-30s lbs) for added comfort without losing playability per some reviewers
Cons
- A few reviewers found it dead or muted feeling, with one preferring Yonex Poly Tour Pro instead
- Some reports of reduced power and control compared to Luxilon-type polys, including one case of arm pain
- A couple of reviewers found it boardy or stiff rather than soft
- Feedback comes almost entirely from one retailer's customer reviews, with no video or forum coverage found

If you want to hit a Poly and you have or don't want arm issues this is the one to play.

This string is so soft and plush, tension maintenance is superb.

This is a wonderful string. I can't imagine playing with anything else.

This is a very arm friendly and powerful combination.
— Max, Web
Not a bad string but it is far from the best.
— George, Web
Found it hard to keep the ball in and felt boardy and stiff, though he liked that it stayed put.
