Diadem Solstice Pro and Solinco Revolution 16/16l?

[Yamin]

Meant to include Diadem Solstice Power...

Anyone tried these strings recently? Digging through the forum I saw some unfavorable reviews but many of them contradicted each other, some were speculative, and many of the negative comments were surrounding thinner gauges.

How do they compare to Hyper G? (Assuming everyone has tried this at least once so it's a good baseline)

I personally use Solstice Power and like it more than Hyper G. The spin is amazing and it is relatively comfortable for a Poly. The biggest issue is that it loses tension too quickly which means I have to string it more often which costs more in the long run. It's probably more comparable to Hyper G Soft with more spin.

Never tried revolution

Solstice Black feels goid for a few hours and then its playability goes down the drain. Hyper-G maintains playability longer and doesn't change in performance in such a sudden way.

See my thread on it here:

Diadem Solstice Black

Has anyone hit with the new Diadem Solstice Black string yet? It looks to be the exact same shape as Solstice Power, and the package advertises maximum spin and comfort, the same as Solstice Power. Is this the same base material with a black additive?

Revolution at 16g IMO is too thick of a gauge unless you like really stiff strings. Best way I can describe it is hitting with a wooden board, but with a bit of bite. The string is not soft whatsoever, and waaay harsher than hyper g.
