Played indoors. I'm not so happy with this string. It's a standard poly without special features. Comfort was okay, but nothing else. I would not buy this string again because it is too average for me.

The string has a nice color and was easy to string.
Played both during my Teneriffa vacation on synthetic grass with Head No.1 balls as well as at home indoors on clay and carpet with Head ATP balls. The string did not break during the test period, so durability is above average, which however is no surprise if you look at the gauge. In general I prefer thinner strings (1.20 mm and below) because they provide better touch. Being a thick string, the Crazy Blue played okay during the first two hours, but then it lost control, feel, and spin. Since it claims to provide good comfort, I was surprised that I had constant stimulus in my arm and shoulder during play. Thus I won't use this string again.

No problems during stringing.
This string plays pleasantly neutral, i.e. it does not stick out in any way but does not let one down either. Spin is less than with textured strings, but still good for a monofilament. Comfort and durability are very good. The string provides lots of feel for a 1.28 mm string, also on drop shots. Power is good but not extreme, and thus control is very good. After 4 hours of play on clay it shows normal signs of wear. Tension stability is normal.
Overall this string performs well in all categories, without sticking out anywhere.
Depending on the price, this could be my future standard string.

No problems during stringing.
Played on clay with Wilson balls.
On the court I instantly noticed that one should string the Crazy Blue 2-4 lbs softer to get better power.
I had good control on my shots, spin was rather average. The string feels rather dull. It is suitable for everyone but there are definitely better strings.
I did not like it that much.

Compared to the MSV Focus-HEX, the Crazy Blue is definitely less lively. This can be seen from several points of view. The Crazy Blue does not excel in any specific category but is rather neutral. The string is recommendable for players who are looking for a durable, comfortable string with acceptable control.
