Played outdoors on clay and - thanks to the weather - also indoors on carpet.
Normal stringing behavior.
The string wasn't bad overall, but it hurt my arm. It is rather low powered. Control is quite good. Feel was a bit dull. Comfort was, as I wrote, poor. |

Played indoors with Dunlop Fort TP balls. Black color.
I had played the 1.25 mm version in white color before which I enjoyed.
The 1.20 mm version however played differently: stiffer and lower powered. Control was good, comfort was not excellent, which was a lot different with the white version. It's really strange. |

I really solid string that provides good control. Only drawback is the lack of power. |

Played indoors with Dunlop Fort TP balls.
This string is very demanding and requires an advanced technique. On clean hits it provides tremendous power and excellent control. Feedback was a bit dull but okay. Comfort could have been a bit better - I had some pain in my shoulder. This could however be due to the fact that you are tempted to hit hard with this string. |

Normal stringing behavior, just could not avoid some ghosting.
Played indoors with Dunlop Fort TP balls.
The string lacks some power and feel compared to the thinner version. Control is good. |

Can't say much about this string. It is an average string without any highlights nor drawbacks. Only its feedback could be a bit more lively for my taste. |

| Normal stringing behavior, only the gut was a bit sensitive. The string provided lots of power, almost too springy. Control, however, was also very good. So the power/control balance was good, maybe a bit shifted towards power. Feedback was nice and clear. Very good touch. Overall a soft and comfortable combo with lively feel, recommendable for a broad range of players. |

| Due to the Kevlar component I was not able to extensively playtest this string because I developed arm problems. The string provided surprisingly high power. Control was pretty good too. Unfortunately comfort was poor and feedback was rather dull. There was a lot of string movement. Only recommendable if you need durability and Kevlar is the only option. |
