They're like exactly the same color. Looks like stealth strings

All black looks good in most sticks. You'll notice the black ball marks from the Thunder Blast after your first few hits. |

I don't have a camera at the moment, so I'll have to do my pictures once I post the actual review. Nonetheless, the strings just look sinister. Thunderblast has this nice sheen to it that I've not seen before. It's a very rich color, much unlike RPM or any other black string I own/have strung.

Maybe the setup should be called "Lethal Weapon". It is nice when your opponent brings the balls, you beat them and they are left with your black marks over their defeated balls.

I need to play again before giving my assessment. I only played one match with it. Keep in mind that my reference is B5E/natural gut. Once I hit with it one or two more times (feels slightly boardy, but feels like it just needs to settle in because when you hit the sweetspot dead on, it's wonderful), I'll post my review. Durability, however, doesn't seem to be a strong point as the crosses are fraying already. The black marks are definitely true hah!

The crosses go a long time for me. The black coating wears off quickly and tells you where you hit the ball most, a cool side benefit. The sweet spot is smaller than with Unifibre natty. For me, serves/overheads were better with Unifibre natty crosses but volleys were worse. Ground strokes I did not notice a huge difference or on touch shots. This setup does feel like $$$ when you hit the sweet spot though. Last edited by mikeler : 12-25-2011 at 05:43 AM. |

I thought I'd get a reaction with that line, but a double signature! Wow! Proof that miracles can happen on Xmas. Last edited by mikeler : 12-25-2011 at 05:44 AM. |

Tasty, tasty stuff. I think mikeler is on to something here. It indeed did need to break in. Once I can get my camera to take my pics, I'll post a full review.

That's funny. One opponent of mine took a picture of the balls after I beat him and texted to another mutual friend/player "That's not dirt". |
