in fact, I am divided.
I remember a few years ago (10? 15?) when the first polyesters came out, I remember playing with a golden poly, very very big, I think around 1.30-1.32mm, ultra rigid, and which had died very quickly. we didn't know at the time that we had to change them quickly. and how many TE appeared at that time.
I think it would be absurd for companies of polyester manufacturers to voluntarily manufacture poor quality poly. the technology is old enough to be able to get out of second generation poly or interesting copoly.
it's just an alternative. I remember a few years ago when pro's pro flooded the club market with its cheap co-poly, less than $ 25 for a reel, everyone criticized that it was zero, but in the end, I know that there, you get what you pay for, you can repeat it, between a set at 10 € which lasts 6 to 8 hours, and a set at 2 € which lasts 2 hours, often, the calculation for those who have a machine is quickly done.
the concern is that we always compare a Chinese poly to a premium poly, trying to see if a Chinese poly at $ 2 does as well as a poly premium at 10 or $ 15 is totally silly !. my brother tried some Chinese poly, (round and hexa) of low gauge (1.20-1.15), and he finds that rather correct. according to him, we are in something that can be compared to a plasma that will hold the tension for about 2 hours, when the signum is much longer. but everyone can also see things according to their needs. just remember that it will be interesting for those who want to change their string often, and have a stringing machine. others. there are other solutions.
I tried an S-gut in a 300G dunlop, to see what it looked like (a Chinese S-gut, paid $ 1.75, and shipped free), well, I was very surprised to play easily with this S-gut, for almost 2.5 hours it gave me complete satisfaction, then broke like glass. but at that price, I got what I paid for. it was of course not comparable to some duraflex or velocity, but adding 1kg compared to some multi I found it even very nice.
