Strung in Volkl X10 325 at 53/50 lbs. Stringing was a pain - coil memory combined with sharp edges make it an unpleasant experience.

Very crisp feeling string, a bit too much for my taste. Very little dwell time, the ball seems to spend very little time on the strings. They are shaped, 7 edges, which should provide a good bite on the ball and spin, but with the ball spending less time on the strings - I was not impressed with the spin.

One solution would be to string these a good 5 lbs looser, around 48/45 area.

The string does though feel consistent, got a pleasant poping sound and keeps the tension well. I spend around 4 hours with it and it still has life left in it.

Feel - 6/10
Control - 8/10
Power - 6/10
Spin - 7/10
Durability - 9/10
Level 13 Edberg and counting...
