Do you have one that plays like X1 Biphase or Xcel Power? I prefer a crisp multi that offers some power when I am not using VS Team mains and testing some new poly cross .

Sorry that I can not give you a straight answer. When we tested the Triumph string we gave it to people who usually play NXT Tour and they were very satisfied with Triumph. To be honest, we never tested it with people who usually play Biphase or Xcel Power. But talking strings with people over the past 2 years many consider Biphase the gold standard of multifilament strings - but then again strings can very much be a personal, subjective experience.

The only thing I can suggest is to give Triumph a try

No need to post the link, it was listed earlier in the thread. I'm also fairly handy at this thing called Google.

Biphase is the gold standard during Phase 1 which only lasts a few hours. When Phase 2 kicks in, it is an uncontrollable mess.

Too bad Laserfibre SNPS is not available, otherwise that would be the gold standard. NXT Tour isn't a bad string but not in my top 3.

How is NXT Tour compared to NXT or NXT Control?

NXT Tour is a bit more crisp than NXT so you might not like that and you know I prefer crispy over soft multis. I didn't try NXT Control so can't comment on that one.

NXT Control is crisp, too. Good durablility because of the poly bundles they put in there. Plays similar to a hybrid without hybriding, but with a little less spin.

I found NXT to be a little too stiff for my liking.

Has anybody tried to string their racket with a poly at a super lower tension? Like it the low 40s? I just recently tried it with our Tour Status string. The result - amazing ball pocketing, good spin, great control. It felt that the ball could never go out. Even on miss hits the ball found its way into the court. Of course, this is not necessary string dependent. We know of players who usually string their racket with Solinco Tour Bite at 55lbs, strung it at 44lbs and they loved it! I would recommend this setup for players with fast racket speed and average to high spin development.

I typically string at 44. I strung up your string at 46, it was very nice.

Are Tier one polys and multi arm friendly?

I didn't have any issues with arm pain with the poly I used. To me, it was rather soft. It was nice.

Based on our customers' review the multi "Triumph" is considered very arm friendly. With regards to the polys I would probably recommend the Tour Status string and if you don't have an issue with breaking strings quickly I would recommend playing it at an 18 gauge which should very much enhance the arm friendliness!

I'll be the judge of that...one of these days.

Default Triumph

I hit with Triumph today for a little while.

My racquet is the Gamma T-7, weighted up a bit with lead. My favorite string is Gamma Professional strung at M:61,X:59 constant pull.

I only hit for about an hour (maybe an hour and change). The Triumph was nice. It was definitely comfortable and had a nice ball-pocketing sensation.

I honestly don't have a whole lot to say about it. I'm at the point now, where there is Gamma Professional and everything else. Whether it's Discho MF, ProSupex Maxim Touch, Tourna QuasiGut, or TierOne Triumph, my impression of all of them is more or less the same:

Comfortable, soft, springy.

Spin is (mostly) a product of the player and I don't find any mutli to be (significantly) better than any other in this department. I do notice a jump in spin production will fully poly, but I don't like the feel of full poly.

Triumph was just fine. It didn't blow me away, but for the price it's not at all a bad string. It's definitely worth a try for the multi lovers out there.

Good string, pretty good price. Give it a try!

We very much appreciate your feedback on the Triumph string. Unfortunately we were not able to convert another multi player to start playing Triumph I would like to ask you if you have any experience with NXT strings (Control, Tour, etc.)?, Bi-phase or NRG?
