Hey Art Art! That sounds really intriguing. I do like crisp string. Does it stay crisp, or does the crispness disappear after an hour or two like Alu?

Hi Torres

It stills feels crisp after (maybe) 4hours of good tennis

After that, it became to fray and move a bit, so you have 4 hours of good play with it.

Notice that it will allways depends on the player and the racket.
I'm now using a moded Blx 6.1 95 16x19, with a 18x20 racket, I guess it will last longer than this...

Try it, and let us know about it

I'm going to string it up tomorrow, I'll write up a full review in the next couple days.

It frays?
Rather unusual for a poly, doncha think?

"fray" = "notch" in a poly...

Ahh...I see.

Dunlop may have a mid-price winner here.

It sure looks like it. I'm going to stock up on some for the stringing for friends business....

16g or 17g?

A bit of both..... Mostly 17g though.

Used the 17 for the first time last night -- can't say I was a huge fan.

The biggest strength was huge, bouncing up near and around my opponent's head. I never got comfortable with my groundstrokes, although by the end of the session I was dialing in my backhand. Had to scale in my forehand to keep it within the lines. Volley touch was nothing to write home about, and I had some trouble controlling my flat serve.
