Default String I.D.

I have a racket strung up with what I think is a low end synthetic. It looks like fishing line a sort of a transparent blue. I would like to I.D. this stuff as it has worked surprisingly well for me. It has quite a few hours on it and I like how it has stayed useable till the end unlike some of the polys I have been trying out where I seem to keep in too long and have a week of not so good hitting (too cheap to cut out unbroken strings lol) Thanks

That isnt tennis string. Tubing nylon is put on string to protect grommets and protect string from being cut by the grommets if you have a sharp grommet.

Yes there is nylon string but that was not nylon tennis string. I only commented on it because I didnt want the OP to take out nylon because he was comparing to the picture.

Gosen makes a clear string, ice or something like that?
you say a low end synthetic, is it a synthetic or a poly?
looks a little shiny for a synthetic, although xx is shiny but I dont see the powerfoils in there?
