Line: Weiss CANNON Ultra Cable 17 Ye/1.23
$139.90
Introducing Ultra Cable ! This square shaped co-poly comes with ultra sharp edges, giving it tremendous bite. As one of the most spin friendly strings available, this co-poly gives experienced players the ability to hit heavy spin-loaded balls that drop hard and explode off the court. It also comes with above-average comfort for poly-based monofilament. Did we mention the spin?

What players say
Tennis Warehouse's playtest team rated Ultra Cable 17 very high for spin and control (95/95) but low for power (54), calling it a string for advanced, big-hitting players rather than beginners or compact-stroke players. Owner reviews on Tennis Warehouse US and Europe are mostly positive about spin and control, but a recurring minority complains about stiffness, a dull dead feel once worn in, and faster-than-expected tension loss.
Best for
- Advanced, big-hitting baseliners
- Players chasing max spin and control
- Full poly setups strung a few pounds low
- Players who already use stiff co-polys
Pros
- High spin and control scores from playtesters and many owners
- Durable when fresh; some owners report it holds bite for weeks
- Several owners call it comfortable for a shaped co-poly
- Suits players who generate their own pace and want a lower-powered response
Cons
- Low power; not suited to players needing help generating pace
- Some owners report a stiff, dull, or dead feel, with one noting arm shock
- A minority find spin and control inconsistent rather than strong
- Tension maintenance is only average; a few owners report losing tension quickly
- Not recommended for beginners or players with compact strokes
