The transparent string looks nice but it was far from nice during stringing. The string was stiff and played rather dull.

No problems during stringing.
Played for a total of approx. 12 hours outdoors on clay with Dunlop balls.
All strokes were nice to hit, except for the lack of spin potential. Very good control.
I lacked some comfort, at least at this tension.
Overall a good string.

The color of the strings did not match the description. The green main string had some recoil memory. It reminded me of the Kirschbaum Spiky Shark. The cross string (black/white) was very soft and easy to string. During play, I noticed the spin effect of the main string. Although the stiff main string is intended to work nicely with the soft cross string, this is not the optimum choice for me.

Easy to string. As advertised the string was softer than the Poly Plasma, but durability seemed to be sacrificed. Good price/performance ratio.

No problems during stringing. Otherwise I was disappointed from the playing characteristics. The string was recommended to me as an alternative to the Poly Plasma... well...

However I will try it again in another gauge and perhaps at another tension.

Stringing was easy. The string stretched a lot for a poly.
Played indoors on carpet with Head ATP balls.
Better comfort compared to the Signum Pro Poly Plasma. Power and control were good from the start. As long as you hit a clean fast ball this is a great string.
Only downside is the price.
