Is this the same as the yellow/gold string they had out earlier in the year?

PBODY99 · 08-03-2012, 11:10 AM

Arrived Sat 11 August
2012
Strung on on a electronic constant pull machine pre-stretch 10 %
Hybrid 4g In the mains 1.25 cross
Tension used for playtest 21 kgs CROSS 22KG
Regular string set up 1.20-25MM poly mains/ 1.24-1.30 Sg cross
Racquet brand and model used PRINCE SPEEDPORT GOLD 110
Power of test string AVERAGE
Feel GOOD
Spin AVERAGE
Comfort LESS SHOCK,
Durability On goingslight notching after 9 hours
Tension maintenance PLAYBLE UNTIL I CUT IT OUT 16 HOURS ON 26 AUG
Control : it has a predictable trajectory, the performance on different strokes and swing speeds was a little more powerful than most of my set ups.
Compare to the string you use most often I found it better than The TiMo/Hollow core Pro comparison racket with 16 hours of hitting so far. 75% red clay, 25% HARD.
Tension recommendations Normal tension for a poly
Summary: Coil memory was normal for a poly, the color matches my racket. Off of the machine, it is the most comfortable LUX of the 6 types I have tried. I would like a sub 1.20mm version. Thank you for the opportunity.

Also, just wondering, like the previous playtest, will you send emails telling people that you received our emails?

In general, TW does not send out e-mails confirming that are indeed in the Playtest. In most cases, you send e-mail and you get the string in the mail.. or not. If TW is doing a Playtest and they are looking at a certain select group to do the testing, they will send e-mails to that select group. That is my experience. TW did send a follow-up e-mail to remind folks to please complete the last couple of playtests.

Enjoy if you get the string..

Probably. In any case I'll have to pass. I'm way to busy for the next month and a half to test out strings.

Indeed, there are many more important things to focus on now. Any career ideas? Engineer, doctor, particle physicist, etc.?
