This gauge plays a lot different from the thicker gauges. Don't string too tight, otherwise this thin string will break more quickly.
Power is very good, and the sweetspot seems enlarged. Control is still sufficient. The string lacks some feedback, but that's okay. Spin is also great, I had many balls which I thought would fly long which landed one foot inside the court. So much spin is generated. I did not directly notice that, except that the trajectory is higher. Negative aspect is the tension stability. The string had lost a significant amount of tension after 1.5 to 2 hours of play. Then the string loses control. I had a different experience with the thicker gauges so I was surprised. Durability is quite short but that can be expected with such a thin string. |

| I preferred this gauge to the 1.18 and 1.23mm. The feel was better, even as a full job, but still lacked a little touch on volleys. After 5 hours, these died a bit, but were playable until they broke. Given the decent price, that is acceptable. |
