Default Looking for a good Orange string, any suggestions?

Just curious if there are any good Orange colored strings out there....i haven't really taken the time to explore myself. I have a handful of microgel radicals that would look sweet with an orange string......thanks!

Pacific's synthetics are a translucent orange.

I just ordered some Signum Pro Poly Plasma 17...bright orange. It'll look crazy in my SP Tour. Haven't tried it yet. They also make a string with a hexagonal profile called HEXtreme.

--AG (Int'l) Fastasy Multi 15
--Weiss Cannon Match Power
--Wilson Super Spin Hex Syn. Gut
--Sunkist Zestspin 17

All previously mentioned strings are good choices. Just be advised that the Pacific strings are not really that orange-y in color because Pacific (formerly d/b/a Silas Mariner Industries) is a very cheap company when it comes down to "cost factors" and who is noted throughout the industry for skimping out on the dye in their strings.

Does the Sunkist string, i have heard so much about... does it have extra vitamin C, hence more orange color??? does that make it last longer?

Pacific Poly Force Extreme is an orange string. Not only is it orange, but it's also one of the best poly strings out there - try it

Take a look at Klip. I have Speedport Tours and I like the looks and the feel. It is a hybrid set-up that I order (Klip Doubles Pro???).

Yeah, unless you played for Clemson, Boise State, Auburn, Syracuse, Virginia, Florida, Tennessee or maybe Texas, getting orange strings to match your frame is a little poseur-ish. Better have some major game to back that look up, man.

SPPP is nice. also for more durability I find mixing a multi on the cross helps. SPPP seems to pop pretty quick in a full bed. atleast in my experience.

who exactly are you to call me out, and why do you care what color strings i use. i would say anything less than the color of the frame matching a school's colors would be considered "poser-ish". and since you're so concerned, i played D-1. 5.5.
