Generated TOO LITTLE power, feel was worse than I expected, it was quite hard on my arm and playability plummeted after only 4-5 hours of play.
In the beginning, I could at least generate huge spin - especially on the serves - to make up for the lack of power. However this spin-generating potential was gone after only a few hours of play.
Furthermore, it required a lot of effort to generate spin, whereas the Babolat Pro Hurricane Tour generates spin almost by itself.
I will be switching back to Babolat Pro Hurricane Tour 17. |

| Got it by purchasing the sample pack. Easier to string than the Topspin Cyber Flash. Loved it - feels great right from the beginning - no break-in period. Offers much more power and spin without suffering control at least initially - better than Topspin. I was able to do some amazing shots. However after a few sets the string started to move and I began to lose some control and spin, and it started to feel like Ashaway Monogut. Unfortunately it's 2x more expensive though. Still, I loved the initial 2-3 hours. There's no match to it here. |

| It feels better than the Luxilons, and offers better power and control. Spin is the best- never seen better. However at the recommended tension the string started to move very early, resulting in much worse durability. I could be biased because I am using a different synthetic for the crosses than the Luxilon when tested. I think pound for pound it's at par with the ALU, but for the price/performance none of them is better than Topspin Cyber Flash 1.20. |

| It is very wire like to string. As Polys go, I like it the best. I am not a Poly fan but this is the best I have used. I hybrid it with Head FiberGel Spin. This combination softened up the string bed. |

| It is far more playable that any of the Luxilon strings I have tried. I am not a big Poly fan but of the ones I have worked with, this is easily the best. |

| I have switched directly from 1.28 to 1.18 mm. This one remains my favorite string, since it is uniquely perfect. With this gauge I get even better spin and touch. I'm crazy for SPPP! |
