String it tight and you will be hard pressed to hit a second serve or groundy long. Sweet spot is smaller to SPPP and I think SPPP has better feel.

The string lasted 7 hours, then it broke. This is a decent value considering the diameter. However I only used the string indoors on carpet. I think it would last much shorter outdoors on clay.
Power is good and comfort is (very) good for a poly. Control is perfect, which may be due to the good spin potential. The Hex feels crispier than the normal Focus. Bonus points for the wide selection of different colors.
I can't rate the tension stability since I don't have a measurement device.

One of the best polys I've played pure so far, best in this price category. I was especially convinced by the tension stability. It also lasted very well for a 1.10 mm string. I would also give a +++ for the wide range of available colors. This way you always find the matching color for your hybrid or racquet model.

I really liked this string. Great tension stability for a poly. Control was great, perhaps due to the spin potential.

No problems during stringing. Great durability. However I'm not sure if I would switch to this string. I'm much happier with the MSV Focus 1.18 (see my corresponding rating).
