When I first used this string I had to be careful not to hit long. If you hit with lots of spin, this string is better than any other string. It lasts really long and maintains its tension very well for me at 22/22 kg. The best string I've tried so far.

I strung a bit high on the mains for my taste, but I wasn't as pleased as I had hoped to be with this one... It held tension a bit better than most of the polys that I've used before, but I didn't think it was anything special.

Rated this string because its so impressive and unique. I strung the BB Original lower than usual, as recommended by the manufacturer. But immediatly felt like I should have stung at my normal tension 62-63 lbs, mainly in an attempt to control the extreme liveliness of the string. The string impressed me in every way and especially with effortless power but I struggled to keep the ball in the court consistently. I would like to play this string at different tensions (a little higher tension) in an effort to maintain the extreme power but add some needed control.

It is difficult to compare BB Original to most of the strings I have played. It is unique, very livley like a multi with lots of power but much more durable than the multis. As livley as it is actually has some touch at the net.

String was my 2nd best string. Love the precise feeling you get. Hard on your elbow which I didn't mind at all. Can see why pro players use Luxilon strings, no other company's poly can compare to this string - unique.
