| I found this string very easy to string for a poly. Crosses were easy to weave and pull. Very little coil memory out of the package and no problem at all with the string trying to kink. The string is slick and plays very crisp and nice. This was the first time I've used a PolyStar string and I'm impressed. Definitely will try again. |

| PolyStar Energy plays similar to Babolat Pro Hurricane. Spin isn't quite as easy to access, but it plays very crisp and comfortable. Nice string that is easy on the arm. |

| Strung up easily for a poly. I found the oily coating to help the string glide when weaving the crosses. Very flexible string too. There is a large drop in tension after two hours. The tension was 38 lbs. after 4 hours (20 lbs. lost), and it broke at 5. I played this string 3 years ago, and it's the same as I remembered it. Durability was not great, but the power and feel was addicting. The price point is great too. |

| Compared to Tour Bite, the durability falters, as does the spin. There is more power available, and the feel is better too. Control is about the same due to the high amount of pocketing for a poly string. It's much more comfortable too. |

I have meant to evaluate this for years. Unfortunately, tennis ending injuries has kept me from playing for several years. This string has exceptional playability. I wish all polys felt as comfortable. My only negative is it breaks extremely quick.
The stringing was easy enough. I had no issues. It did not kink. And weaving crosses was easy.
The power was adequate. It is not a terribly powerful string. It allows you take a swing at the ball without launching it.
The control was very good. I could keep the ball in play with little problem. I could really get used to it.
As mentioned, the durability was poor. This is what would keep me for using it. I've used it in a Wilson Steam 105S and n that you would need 3 freshly strung racquets to finish a match. I also tried it in a Head Speed and it lasted about 2 hours.
The feel and playability was great. The spin potential was also great.
I strung another racquet with this. Stringing was very easy. The playability is really outstanding but durability is not. It is a string for the non string breaker. I would consider it as a cross string in a hybrid but as a full bed, I went through 2 sets in a match and a half. |

| I like the playability better. Unfortunately, the durability would keep this from being my go to string. If you are not a string breaker, I would recommend. |
