Weiss CANNON Scorpion 17L/1.22 String
Line: Ion
$9.95
An excellent co-polymer string with some extra sting. The Weiss Cannon Scorpion offers all the control of a regular polyester but with more pop. We found some nice ball pocketing with this one resulting in excellent spin, control, ball speed and a softer hitting experience.

What players say
Weiss CANNON Scorpion 17L/1.22 is a long-running co-polymer that Tennis Warehouse customers consistently describe as soft for a poly, with good power, control, and tension/durability that holds up over several sessions. Feedback spans nearly two decades of customer reviews with only one clear negative report, but no independent video or written reviews of this exact gauge turned up.
