After reading the multitudes of negative reviews, I was NOT looking forward to this playtest. I strung this on my k blade tour at 50 lbs on the mains x Gosen OGSM 16 on the crosses at 54. Normal set up for this stick is BHBR 17 @ 50 x OGSM 16 @ 54.
Same lackluster performance like everybody else said. No added power bonus as a poly, no exceptional feel, etc. Definitely won't be buying this if it ever comes to market...
This "Prototype" string and not like the Wilson A and B test strings. The A and B seem to be strings that Wilson was producing no matter what. The playtesting indicated that both strings not really great leaps in string technology. The A and B playtests were SEED testing.. or really just pre-release marketing. The Blue string seems to be a concept string as it seems to be a shot at some new technology. IMO Wilson is trying to create a better low end poly.. ie 1st gen version 2. Low cost but possible mass high market.
Not really sure Wilson made it with this Prototype. While I did not hate the string, there was nothing really to love about. I was also testing the Tourna Big Hitter Black 7 17G that is a wonderful new 3rd Gen poly that really impresssed me and others. That did not help my impression of the string, not to mention that it hurt my elbow and no other string in my life has. I think the string may have appeal to a young, baseline heavy-hitter with a limited budget.
