I agree. It is the hardest to find anything on it. You can't tell what they have. They really push WC products is all I can tell they have. I had to actually call them to get an answer to a question I had emailed them over a week earlier. Odd.

They actually have fantastic service and super fast delivery. Don't judge a book by it's cover

Probably true. It was just frustrating trying to look around their website.

agree.. not a well structured site

I ordered from them before and they are quick on delivery plus they are pretty good at carrying new strings before others get them.

Jack,

Let us know how that string works out for you.

Which? The SP Fiber Hi Tec?

So u still like Multifeel best, as a low powered multi with spin?
Do u always use full bed? You could add a copoly cross. It would
have minimum impact on your arm add give u a little spin boost.

Yes the SP Fiber Hi Tec. I still think MultiFeel is my favorite but I want to try it again after I go through most of the multis out there. As JT suggested, if I do try poly again, start with it in the crosses. I don't plan on trying polys until the heat returns here which is usually in May. I'll finish up with the 4 multis I still have at home and then I may buy one more batch of multis to test out and that should last me until May.

My thinking now is to put in a TW order for these to get the free shipping:

ISOSPEED Energetic Plus 16 String $8.99
Kirschbaum Touch Multifiber 16 (1.30) String $14.30
KLIP Excellerator 16 String $12.99
Solinco Vanquish 16 (1.30) String $12.50
Volkl Gripper 16 String $13.99
Head FiberGEL Spin 16 String $7.95
Tecnifibre TGV 16 $15.00
Xcel Power 16 $20.00

Then maybe finish up with Maxim Touch 16. After that, I want to pick one and go with it.

I have about 3hrs on my multifeel setup and it is fraying/notching pretty good. Don't see much more than another 3hrs at most on it. Nice string, but I like NRG better in terms of feel and pop.

NRG is growing on me the more I play with it.

Picking up 2 frames today for my "delicate" elbow (LOL). One is full NRG at a whopping 54# and the other is VS/Syn Gut hybrid at 54#. A 5.0+ buddy of mine just switched to the Bab VS/Syn Gut prepackaged hyrbid and says he has had ZERO shoulder issues since switching. I can also attest to the fact that he seems to have gained atleast 5-10+ mph on his FH as it is just ripping through the court!!! His last tension was at 52# (since it was soo cool here) and he said it is too low, but is now used to it and is killing it! He is going to 54# next then probably 56# when summer temps move in. Last time he and I hit he looked like he was just taking a nice smooth swing and BAM--ball had ripped through the court and was about past me--- He said he's been doing the same thing to his normal 5.0 hitting buddies too--glad it wasn't just me!!!

Gonna be up in the 80s this weekend. Should be good weather for a tender shoulder.

Nice inside joke. Not going to try and put the mustard on the serve this weekend unless my shoulder feels completely normal.

No need to I agree. I'll be lucky to reach 47! The warm weather is definately a welcomed change!! This thread is truly just INSANE--nice job buddy

I swear if you type in any particular multi in the "search tab" this thread comes up--nice wealth of knowledge and info.

It makes it easier to separate myself from the cash knowing that it helps a lot of people make informed decisions. Now let's hope I can break Xcel this weekend and move on to NXT Control next week.

mikeler · 02-19-2011, 08:58 AM

Didn't think I'd be able to play today but was able to squeeze in 2 sets on my neighborhood hard courts with the Babolat Xcel. Missed a few more volleys with it today but also hit quite a few good ones. I definitely dig this string.

mikeler · 02-20-2011, 09:24 AM

Got 3 more sets today out of the Xcel. The string is starting to fray similar to Maxim Touch 17. I still don't see any severe notching. The strings are also moving around a little bit more. A reel of Xcel is $220. Still kind of pricey.
