Any update on this? Ordered some from TWE but wish we could get it here in the states.

Hi Murray Fan,

I've contacted the US Distributor and he is going to get it to us, but I don't have an exact date. He said that it should be roughly two weeks (depending on the turnaround with the manufacturer).

Thanks,
Jon

What type of string is this? Poly, multi or other?

It is a poly, plays very nice, on the softer side.

Anyone still plays with this string.... 6 years later? I have ordered a few sets to try, was just wondering.

Tested a couple sets of it a few weeks ago. It was weird for me. I generally prefer crisper strings--played tour bite as a main string for 6 years and have almost always come back to it, though I use ALU Power now and will probably stick with it. The Firestorm had nice power on tap and a soft, responsive feel on impact. Decent spin if you can generate it. The weird thing was that I felt disconnected from the ball the entire time. I tried it at my usual 48 pounds, then went up to 51, then 54, and I got the same sensation at all three tensions. It felt vague on impact like I couldn't tell if I hit the ball clean or not, even though it was coming off generally as expected and staying in. This was fine when I was volleying or using anything with a continental grip, but I primarily play singles and don't come to net frequently, so I didn't quite groove with it. I could see how somebody looking for a softer and consistently playing round polyester might enjoy this string. If I were looking for a softer string or only playing doubles, I might adjust to and enjoy it in time too...I just think I'm so used to getting feedback from crisper strings that it threw me off.

TLDR: Soft poly with decent control that yields a bigger sweet spot than ALU, Tour Bite, Poly Tour Strike, Hawk, and the like for me. Feedback like punching a pillow when the others I mentioned are like hitting a wall.
