The result is a versatile multifilament with good tension maintenance and very impressive comfort. Though quite pliable and arm friendly, this one still manages to feel wonderfully crisp, especially at higher tensions. This is a great option for the player who wants phenomenal comfort, controllable power and great feel.

Comments: Played nicely for the first 4-5 hours. A little string adjustment between games as was expected, though it did stay in place more so than a typical multifilament. Added some pop. All going fine until about the 5 hour mark when it lost a lot of control. Depth of shots became more erratic. Notice the sheath enveloping the strings has frayed all around the middle of the string bed. When I swapped racquets to my polys, control immediately resumed with same swing, so I suspect these just have a short lifespan (glad I got them on sale). Might try them in a hybrid setup, though not sure what would be a good pairing with it. I agree with previous comments, it did have a much more muted feel, required a full swing, though disagree that it was low powered. It seemed have a nice pop to it that helped flat strokes.

Comments: If you are looking for a more comfortable and very slightly more powerful version of Head Rip Control, this may be worth your while. I found both very firm, muted (@ 50lbs), low powered, felt thick on ball strikes, and had little ball pocketing. You can swing big, but I felt disconnected from the ball so I found it difficult to dial in my shots (white strings btw). I would describe it more as having lack of vibration than being comfortable. I can't speak to durability as I don't break strings, but it maybe useful as a cross string to hybrid users who want more comfort without a big power boost.

Comments: I put this on my Wilson PS97 at 55 lbs and it felt stiff even though its stiffness is rated at 140 on the TW website. It feels stiffer than Wilson Sensation Control 16 (stiffness at 150). It played fine without impressive feeling in strokes, volleys, and serves. The worst thing was it broke in 2 hours on a clay court. I decided to go with Sensation Control.

Comments: I strung it up at 52 lbs in a Pure Drive GT and was extremely happy with the results. It really complemented the stiff racquet with added touch and a softer ride. I could take full cuts at the ball without a fear of it flying and best of all, no elbow pain after playing. Nice string for the right circumstances!

Comments: I tried the silver version and it looks really cool. I did string it with Kirschbaum Max Power in the crosses. I did 57 lbs for Optimus and 54 lbs for the poly. It definitely wasn't my favorite hybrid. There was too much power, although I did notice some nice touch and feel. Durability was the worst part: the strings snapped in less than 3 hours. Given I put a lot of stuff on my serve and the poly was sawing into these Wilson strings, 2 and a half hours is simply unacceptable for the price. I'm going to switch back to a soft poly full bed.

Comments: Great string but only lasted about 5 hours of play.

Comments: Very nice multi if you don't need the power. Felt very easy on the the arm yet crisp at the same time. Spin was very good for a multi. It had a very unique feel not like a multi since the power was low. Control was great made very few errors but you really need to take full swings. I would buy it again but TVG is still my top multi.
