Simply amazing string. Was very surprised with its control and feel. The topspin of the backhand (one handed) is amazing with a strong solid pop. The grab/control is simply amazing with all shots. Very impressive string. A must try.

After trying 16 different strings over 2 years I have settled for Völkl Cyclone 17 for its control, power, and longevity. MSV Focus Hex is very close in comparison, but lasts longer. For comparison: Head Rip Control lasts 6-8 hours; Völkl Cyclone apprx 30 hours; MSV Focus Hex approx. 40 hours and still going.

Problably there is not a string with a great control and tension stability with this miminum gauge. The lively spin is a great bonus. Does not have a great power like Kirschbaum Pro Line II.

I have strung the Focus-Hex both in a full bed and as a main in a combo. In both set-ups the string is very impressive, the first few hours of play the string produces great spin. Once Focus-Hex wears smooth the string still plays very well and spin potential is still above average. Breakage comes anywhere between the 15 and 20 hour marks which is average for me for much thicker strings. I lke the string feel and it pockets the ball well even though I strung it at the heavier side of MSV's recommendation. If you're looking for a black poly don't pass up testing this string.
