Very easy to string, no squeaky noise, no friction burn.
For me this string provides a good compromise of direct feel and comfort. I'm quite sensitive on my serve, so I felt some pain, but that's not representative for sure. However, the MSV Focus-Hex is more comfortable.
I was able to generate decent topspin and slice on my ground strokes with good feedback from the strings. Power was there when I needed it, but you need to have a good technique. The strings did not feel board-like in any situation.
Unfortunately, durability is the downside. I'm not a string breaker at all, and the strings broke after less than 2 hours. I could see that the cross string sort of frayed after around 1.5 hours.
Besides durability, the other characteristics were all positive. |

| The string stretched a lot during stringing, so I expected it to play like a trampoline. However the Gosen turned out to feel surprisingly stiff on the court. It provided good control but lacked touch. Every shot felt the same, no matter if I hit with spin, slice or flat. Comfort was good but I didn't like the dull feel of the string. |

I wanted to try the Aramid Spin as a cheaper alternative to a hybrid.
Easy to string, just the cracking noise during tensioning is a bit strange at first.
During play I first noticed the slightly board-like feel. Tension stability was very good - no string movement. But there was no real feel for the ball, every shot felt the same, no matter if I hit with spin or without. The string was too stiff, too dull, it lacked feedback. Additionally, after two hours of play I had a slight pain in my wrist and shoulder. |

Easy to string. Had expected the poly to have strong recoil memory, but that wasn't the case.
Initially I like this combo - nice, crisp feedback and control. Spin potential was rather low throughout the test. Unfortunately, after 3 times on the court, tension dropped significantly. Then the string felt dull, sluggish and too soft. Spin, depth control and feedback decreased significantly. I cut out the strings after 6 weeks, and at that time they didn't show any significant signs of wear. |

The string provides a good feel and good control and feedback in an offensive game. Both groundstrokes that are hit with spin as well as flat strokes or volleys are great to hit.
Overall I had the impression that this string was a bit too soft for me, respectively that the tension was not picked up very well by the string.
Recommendable as a cross string in combination with a stiffer poly main string. |

| The string plays very nice and precise. You only get the power from it that you put in. It's up to the player to generate spin and speed. For that the string provides excellent control and great precise feedback. |

| Compared to the SPPP 1.23, the Pro RedCode is a bit softer, less powerful (the power level is low in general for polys), but in no way dull or slugglish. |

I've tested the grey pre production. Stringing was really nice, no recoil and little friction when pulling the crosses.
The string plays quite soft and comfortable for a poly and provides great power and spin. Unfortunately I seem to have strung too low, since I had problems with my precision, so I could not really enjoy the string. I think when strung at around 25 kp the string will be more crispy and precise. At 23 kp the string was too sluggish for me. |

Great poly with very good durability considering the diameter of 1.10 mm. Even after several hours of play I can't see any notches.
The string provides lots of power and spin. It feels softer than the other new generation polys, somewhere between the Babolat Pro Hurricane and the Polystar Classic. Great touch on the ground strokes, nice feedback and perfectly suitable for the game at the net. |

Quite easy to string, average recoil memory.
The string is softer than the Tecnifibre Pro RedCode and more powerful and more comfortable, and provides a softer feel. In terms of control it cannot keep up with the Pro RedCode, which provides a perfect blend of control and playability.
The Red Devil plays like a standard softpoly like Pro Hurricane, Cyber Flash etc.
I would have liked to have a better control in this string. |

A solid poly, significantly stiffer and crispier than the normal Pro Hurricane. Nevertheless it does not come up to the crispy feel of the Poly Plasma. It provides more power and spin.
Overall a great poly with good playability. But from my point of view the Poly Plasma has a slightly better balance of playability and control. |
