The string plays nice in the beginning. It provides decent spin and "still" relatively high power and good feel. I was really amazed in my first match. But after 1.5 - 2 hours the string loses all its positive features. After that it plays like a wire. It feels like the tension suddenly increases by several lbs (total lack of power), and good spin was not possible any more.
If you restring your racquet after every match, this is a very good string. But for me it's too much effort.

I expected this string to be at least a little like the Kirschbaum Touch Turbo due to its rough surface. I was totally wrong, this string doesn't come close to the Touch Turbo. Rather feels like a wire; I also expected better spin and comfort from this string. I'll rather get a reel of Pro's Pro Cyber Spin. The Spiky version is just as bad as the other Super Smash strings.

played on clay; I use a lot of spin so usually my strings break more frequently (during team matches every 2-3 days) than other players' that have flat strokes (this string lasts half a year in my sister's racquet!); this string is especially recommendable to players who string their own racquets because it provides a lot of touch and spin
