Played indoors on carpet, singles only.
Felt good from the first hit, and maintained its characteristics until it broke (on a framed hit). Felt very solid.

45-55°F indoor and outdoor on hard court. Good on slices and serve; forehand is okay, good control but not huge spins; backhand is good but can use more power and spins (played doubles but got intercepted a lot).
Not trying to be insulting to many reviewers - Many reviewers don't know you should string poly 10% less than Synthetic. Just feel the string a little and a good stringer would know roughly how much tension to use. The tension stability should be the focus for us that are paying for the strings. The RPM and ALU dropping tension too quickly and I am baffled why so many likers?

Hybrid with Pro Supex Maxim Touch 1.25. Initially I tried with it hybrid with Babolat N.Vy and the combination was bad. It was a lot more lively with Maxim Touch. This string plays similar to SPPP but softer. I was able to get more speed at my serve, and able to string at higher tension without feeling too stiff. Less spin though. Good tension stability, after 8 hours of hitting, the movement was minimal. Similar to SPPP and have a 'dead' feel.

I was happy with the string from the first hit. The Touch Turbo provides a solid feel combined with great power. It also provides good control and a soft touch for a poly. On the other hand, I found the permanent string movement (despite 26/25 kp) annoying.
Overall a good solid string, but not the best for me. I will stick with the Babolat RPM Blast.

This string isn't very durable and doesn't have enough power in comparison to other co-polyesters.
