I've seen it used by Chris in a Prokennex Black Ace 93 video.
I cant recall the other videos I've seen it in but I know I've seen it somewhere else before.

Not too many premium orange strings.
Top 2 guesses would be Signum Pro Poly Plasma or Head Sonic Pro.

Pacific has orange strings and they most definitely in the premium category.

probably SPPP since that seems to be a very popular string. It's known as a soft poly with good tension maintenance. Control oriented for a poly.

Is is actually orange? I would post a video, because using Lux 4G would not surprise me at all whereas using SPPP or Cyber Twirl Clay would.

I think probably SPPP. I think SPPP is probably the most famous and widely-used string that is orange.

Kirshbaum Pro Line X is orangeish red (called Cherry/Orange). Super Smash is orange. Pro Line II, which they've mentioned as using on occasion is a more true red.

Well, I think Luxilon 4G is also very possible. So my guess is Luxilon 4G or SPPP.

Add Gamma Zo -- another widely distributed orange string.

here are your options.

1. no one knows, nor can they from the information you provide
2. you are 12
3. if they do know, it is because they researched the issue just as you could have
4. you have never participated in a forum before so are unsure if it is an 'ask a question according to any whim and you get an answer' sort of thing

thank

Pretty sure it is SPPP as well, it is the cover pic on a couple pics of a review video I believe.
