This was the factory string on my new racquet.
The string seems to be suitable for flat strokes on which it provides good control and low power. However, if you hit with spin, you need to put a lot of effort into your shots in order to get some depth. Then the strings move a lot and since I like to hit with spin, I switched to the Topspin Cyber Flash. Therefore no rating of the durability. However I think this string could be suitable for senior players due to its nice feel on flat strokes. But for me this is not my string.

Strings fairly easily. Played mostly on clay courts in cool conditions.

A run of the mill synthetic gut. The first use of the strings was in cold, damp weather (40-45°F) and the strings felt somewhat stiff and boardy. Played much better when the weather warmed up into the seventies.
Nothing about the strings to get excited about. Cut them out after 12 hours of play.

I used this string exclusively in high school, and my high school team still uses it. Great string for juniors that don't break strings too often, and for those who are looking for something to put in their racquets for training. Give it a go. It's cheap, holds up pretty well for a synthetic gut, and feels good in the racquet.

Pretty similar to most every other synthetic gut that is out there... Wilson just does it a little bit better. If you are a synthetic gut user and want something that's cheap and will perform well, this is a good string for you.

Worst string I have ever tried. Won't try it again, never. Tension dropped dramatically, I had to readjust the strings after every point, and only after a few hours of string life.
