Strung on a drop weight machine in two pieces. No problems during stringing, but you should not string too tight, there is a risk of breaking the string at this thin gauge.
Played indoors on carpet with Wilson Clay Tour balls.
The durability in this gauge is not that great. The string broke after 3.5 hours on a mishit near the top of the frame. Maybe I have strung too tight for this gauge. And I hit with lots of power.
Power was surprisingly good for a poly. Since my K Blade Tour does not provide much power by itself, this string provides a great compromise. I was also surprised that despite the high power the string provided good control. Feedback was nice and direct. However, like with almost all polys, the string lacked comfort, especially when you don't always hit clean.
The hexagonal shape of the string provided very good ball bite. Small (negative) side effect: After one match, the felt was almost completely worn off the balls.
Since the string broke already after 3.5 hours, I cannot say much about tension stability, but for the time it was in the racquet, the tension was maintained very well.
Conclusion: The string provides lots of spin and power while maintaining control. I would recommend it only for midsize frames with an 18x20 string pattern, otherwise the durability would be poor at this gauge. I bought a reel of the black version. Myself and my colleagues whom I string for are happy with this string. Definitely worth a test! |

| The MSV clearly wins in the feel, control, power, and spin departments. |

Tested on clay court.
Good string for 1-2 hours, explosive, solid, with good control and spin... after 2 hours much tension loss and losing control. |

| Unique string. Compared to the SPPP it provides much better spin and you are able to create lots of pressure. So far the only string where I had a similarly good impression was the Tecnifibre X-One Biphase, which however is in a different price range. For the price you have to test this string. |
