    • Great soft, strong & durable string.
Size: 17g Color: Natural
Great string - been using this string in all my racquets for over 5 years now and love the soft feel with its durability (never broken a string yet!). I string my racquets at the low end of the recommended range and love the feel! I have recommended this string to friends and they all like it!

    • BEST SYNTHETIC BLEND ON THE MARKET!!!
Size: 16g Color: Natural
These strings are the best for advanced players looking for a synthetic blend that's as close to gut as possible. They have a great balance of power and control! I hit with A LOT of topsin and these strings handle it well! I break strings on a regular basis. Playing 4-5 hours a week, every two to three weeks I'd go through regular strings. As a junior, I played competitively and used gut! Now, as it's more recreational than competitive, i don't feel like spending the money to buy gut. So after much research, and restrings, someone recommended these strings. They last an average of 3 months. I coupled this with the Head SmartSorb purchased on Amazon and WOW!!!! My shots have never sounded better! No vibration, great control and the power... I've been told when I take a serve or power forehand, it sounds like someone's shooting a cannon on the other court. ... show more

    • Good string but not for me.
Size: 17g Color: Black
I really wanted to like this string and it feel that it is a good string, but just not for my game. I tried it in a full bed and also a hybrid setup and I just couldn't get along with it. I play high tensions in the low 60's and I think I would have to go to the upper 60's to make this string be playable for me as I noticed that it is a higher launching string and it is very noticeable but I think that the RF97 racket that I was putting it in is just to powerful and that with it's high launch and moderate spin had my stock shots playing much too close to the baseline when I prefer my stock shot to be at the service line. It is still a good string for those look for added power, moderate spin, and good comfort. ... show more

    • Best there is!
Size: 17g Color: Natural
My daughter has been using these for playing Varisty tennis. She is a VERY hard hitter, and they will break, but they hold up very well against her 2-4 hours of practice a day and 2 games a week.

    • more elasticity
Size: 18g Color: Natural
1.2 mm is a kind of thin string that I have been looking for, much more feeling when hitting balls, of course it may not be very durable as thick strings such 1.30 mm or 1.35 mm, but it has more elasticity and power, price is reasonable. I am not sure if they sell string reel which the price would definitely better off though. I recommend to try if you are serious about tennis strings, which really make difference and improve matches. ... show more

    • SUPREME
Size: 17g Color: Black
First off I am no expert. Recently had two of my rackets string with Head PPS 16G. Nothing special. Had my other racket string with Rip Control 17G. And I know I sound dramatic but it was night and day difference. I never paid any attention to stringing options but the spin and playability is awesome. Even feeling the string it has a little roughness to it which I think helps grip the ball and help create spin. And the half white and black color is an awesome look aesthetically. I wouldn’t go back to basic string. ... show more

Size: 16g Color: Black
Good strings, but were partially broken when i opened the package. It doesn't bother me, but if it was used by someone more skilled and who hits with more power, they would break very easily.
