Strung in one piece. Some recoil memory during stringing.
Played indoors on carept with Dunlop Fort, Head ATP and Tretorn Tour balls.
My first impression during warm-up was good. Nice power and control, however feel/feedback is not the strength of this string.
There are certainly better strings for spin and angle shots, so you need to concentrate 100% in order to produce some spin.
I did not have any arm problems. The string has good tension maintenance, see diagram. Slice was easy to hit. Volleys were easy to hit deep and precise.
Flat serve was okay, but I had problems hitting kick serves.
But overall I was happy with this string. I think it's a good allround string also suitablel for fast rallies from the baseline. |

Felt like barbed wire during stringing (wish I had a cross stringing tool...).
Played indoors on carpet with Dunlop Fort Tournament balls.
Initially the string provided too much power for me. All my shots went long. But after around half an hour I had adapted to the string and put more spin into my shots to control the power. I started liking the string more and more. I think spin and power are the highlights of this string.
So far I've played a total of 8 hours (6 hours singles and 2 hours doubles).
Serves were great, volleys were nice to control, slice worked quite well after half an hour. Excellent angles possible. Comfort is not so good (I felt some pain after the first 2 hours of singles).
Overall a nice new string! |

Stringing was okay.
The playing characteristics were alright and I would have liked to play a bit more with this string. But it hurt my arm so bad that I had to cut it out after 2x 2 hours of play.
I really liked the balance of power, control and spin. I also think that the tension stability was okay. |

Very easy to string.
Played on clay at temperatures around 20-30°C with Dunlop Tournament balls. Mainly matches but also a few hours of hitting and some doubles.
Initially I didn't like the string too much because the power level was too high for me (I prefer creating the power myself), but after one hour of play I got used to the string and started to enjoy it. I really liked the pop and feedback of the string. Meanwhile I was able to hit with good control (more spin) and also my angle shots worked well. Serves and volleys were also very good.
Only my arm hurt a bit after 2 hours of play, a bit more than with other polys.
I think there are better strings for a topspin game, but it provides sufficient grip to generate spin.
I was surprised by the good tension stability of the string - best feature besides the power.
Overall a very solid string which I can highly recommend. |

| It does not only look like the Topspin Cyber Flash - if control was better, it would also play similar. |

Stringing was very easy, weaving was almost like a multifilament.
I cut out the strings after 5 hours, so no rating of the durability.
Power was very low. I had also expected more control from a control string. The string felt like a board. After two hours, my arm had enough of this string. Spin potential was rather low. After 5 hours, the tension was still OK. |

Due to the relatively thick gauge of 1.28 mm the crosses were a bit hard to weave.
Played indoors on carpet with new Dunlop Tournament balls. My first impression was positive. There are only little notches after 10 hours of play. Power is sufficient for a 1.28 mm poly. Control is the highlight of this string. I was able to place my shots precisely. Feedback is of the normal poly feel. I did not have any arm problems with this string. I was surprised by the spin potential. I did not expect such a good spin that I was able to generate.
After 10 hours of play I measured 23 kg with a string meter (compared to 24.5 kg after stringing).
Conclusion: Not extraordinary but a very solid string. |

The pentagonal shape was evident when pulling the crosses, but overall stringing behavior was typical for a poly, so it was okay.
Played indoors on carpet with Dunlop Tournament balls.
My first impression of the string was positive. Power is sufficient, especially when you hit in the sweet spot. Control was really good, I was able to direct my shots precisely and with good angles.
Sometimes I missed some feel or feedback. Comfort is alright for a poly.
Spin is the best thing about this string, really great. The string also keeps its tension well, after more than 10 hours of play I still measured 22.5 kg with my Stringmeter.
This poly is on one level with the SPPP, Topspin Cyber Flash, and MSV strings. |

| I had the MSV Focus Hex 1.10 on a second frame, so the comparison is between the Poly Penta and the Focus Hex. |

| This string did not convince me. One moment it plays great and the next moment it's terrible. It's very hard for me to judge its characteristics, especially since I really like the Co-Focus and Focus Hex. |
