Played indoors on fast carpet at 20°C with Dunlop Tour Brilliance balls.
Stringing was a bit inconvenient due to the twisted profile. I strung 4 lbs lower than usual according to the manufacturer's recommendation.
The Tornado plays really good. It provides very good power without losing control even at the low tension. Spin is also great. I can imagine that this string is even more enjoyable on clay court.
Great all around characteristics. However it is not the big sensation - there are many other strings on the market with similar characteristics. Only the tension stability is much better than with most other textured polys. |

| Compared to the Black Code and to my standard string, Pro's Pro Blackout, the Tornado provides much better tension stability. And it also maintains its ball bite longer. All other characteristics are almost the same. Price is okay. |

Quite easy to string, no problems despite the texture.
Played both on clay court as well as on carpet. |

| I liked the Tornado a lot, however compared to the Plasma HEXtreme / Poly Plasma it could provide a bit better control. One could try stringing it a bit higher. |

| This string is surprisingly good for a monofilament. I cannot say much about durability since I played on hard court where any string generally lasts longer. Also I have not played many hours with it.... only 8 hours ... but no signs of wear. In terms of power, it is exactly how I like it. An extra feel and spin is good. I will try to combine it with a multifilament to get something special. |
