Thumbs up PLII: Tec BC 18

I am really impressed with both Kirshs Proline II and Tecs Black Code, either 17 or 18 ga. Nice soft poly with great feel, power and durability for a poly. Of all of the poly string we have tested, these beat all by a long margin.

Cheers, TennezSport

I am currently using Red Code in my babolat PTS at 52lbs. I really like. It took some getting use to. A little tough on my arm, but I have gotten strong and I am enjoy the control.

I used to play with competition , I changed to TCF due to the price and it is a good string but, IMHO, competition is better.

From a playability standpoint... Alu Power Rough. IMO, there is nothing better.

Take care.
