Yeah, didnt see it on their site either. I figured it was a newer string, since I haven't seen it discussed before.That's strange. It's not listed on their website. Maybe a discontinued string?

Could be, but they're not very into social media. I've been begging them to create an Instagram account to be able to mention them for a year now.Yeah, didnt see it on their site either. I figured it was a newer string, since I haven't seen it discussed before.

Yes, I just got the same problem. Ordered strings and leather grips. Payment made but nothing went forward for many days. And they don't reply emails at all.Wanted to update this thread that I was able to reach Angelo by phone and that he was extremely helpful. Unfortunate situation of some crossed wires. I will keep this group updated.
I'm glad you got an update, helped me decide to pull the gun on some BPR. I couldn't really pass up that insane deal of 2 reels for 55 euros, and I bought 3 leather grips for 18 euros from the outlet section. Way cheaper than even Golden Set at this point.Yes, I just got the same problem. Ordered strings and leather grips. Payment made but nothing went forward for many days.

Update:
Just got message from Angelo that my order has been shipped.![]()
it's different but I like both strings a lot.If Black Pearl Rough is anywhere near Alu Pearl Rough, you have hit a goldmine!
I guess Alu stands for Aluminum fibers I'm the string. I have a second set that I will try in Autumn with a fresh eye.it's different but I like both strings a lot.
I will get mine today. I might try it on my blade pro.. let's see how it goes..I'm glad you got an update, helped me decide to pull the gun on some BPR.

Let's hope I don't hate the string.
So, uh, how long did it take to get a response?Yes, I just got the same problem. Ordered strings and leather grips. Payment made but nothing went forward for many days. And they don't reply emails at all.

Seems like more and more people having the same issue with Oehms... Too bad. Alu Pearl Rough is a hidden gem and their leather basegrips look great (Head approved).Anyone else getting zero response from Oehms about their order at present? I ordered over 100 Euro of product from them in early August - payment taken and I have never heard from them again despite efforts to email, use their website contact form and even text them! Zero response and no product - they either have a big problem or do not take customer service as a business need! I am about to pursue them via my credit card company.........

They just lost a customer for good - I am now trying to get my payment back as still zero response at all from OEHMS........They are VERY difficult to communicate with. I finally reached them after many attempts. Only advice is to continue trying.
Status is my credit card have disputed payment and I am waiting for the conclusion. Still nothing from OEHMS at all.......... I was reluctant to pursue them but if they take payment and do not deliver or respond to enquiries then they have no hope unfortunately. Shame as I like their products, have ordered before and no issues but this time - absolutely zero. Best of luck!Did you get your payment back? I ordered a month ago. Not replying to any emails.
No update from me - problem to the info above (which I can believe) is he is taking payment and then doing nothing. I can understand and empathise but nearly two months since I ordered and paid......Hey guys,
I am living im germany and had problems too.
Payed, 1-2days delivery but after 7 Days still no response..
Got his phone number, he had family Problems. Got the 2x leather Grips yesterday + a string as excuse.
You guys got Updates?
Seems like a one men Company to me.
Great - that is good news. Unfortunately my situation is that even after a further email to Mr Oehms (via their official customer email) suggesting he contact me if there are supply issues I would be happy to discuss/work out what he can supply and amend the order - still not even a response. Apart from going to his office and asking to meet him - it seems that contact for some customers is still zero - I am not sure what else I can do......Just wanna share my experience , I placed the order on Sept 07 for 2x1 reels of black pearl rough 1.21 gauge that was on special. After about 6-7 days there was no confirmation of the order or any shippment activity and I decided to send email to customer service. I got response same day from Angelo and he told me that unfortunately they were out of that gauge and by mistake my order wasnt filled. Then he asked me do I maybe want different gauge or maybe differemt string. I asked if he could fill the order with alu pearl rough same 1.21 gauge as Im planning to use it in 18x20 patterm racquet and he agreed to it. Then I havent recieve any updates for additinal 3-4 days . I sent another email he apologized and told me he was sick for couple of days but that mu order was actually ready and was going ti ship that day. That was Sept 21. I recieved the confirmation and tracking number same day. Order is in transit still and will take several days to get here to Canada. All I wanna say is that any time I contact them I got response same day and Angelo was very polite and apologetic and he made sure that things were done to my satisfaction. Im awaiting for the strings now to arrive. He also said he will make sure next time everything goes smoother and better.
Yeah man thats very unfortunate.I was little worried when I havent recieved nothing first few days and then I found this thread which made me contact them originaly. And I personaly got immediate response. It was for sure very different experience then what I usually have here ordering from tennis stores in Canada . Here you get confirmation email right away and most times its shipped like next working day but quality of string and price is just unbeatable and will gladly wait few more days for it as long as it got sorted at the end. Im hoping you will get your order sorted out as well.Great - that is good news.

I just contacted them on info@oehms-tennis.de originaly and he was the one that responded to my original email. Then every other email I just addresed to him and replied to same email we already had comunicated on. I did it early morning here which is around 1-2 pm there and usualy I got response in an hour.Hey , I just put an order in a few days ago and I'm also having issues with confirmation and shipping.

Thanks!
I'll be away for a week and then most probably hit with the Oehms Alu Pearl Rough 1.25 most probably with the Diadem Elevate V2 FS98.Big fan of APR. I've just ordered a reel of APR and the new Hexa Elite Touch from their website.
Hexa Elite Touch was exclusively on Amazon for them for a while, so it's great to see on their website.
I'd love Jonas from Tennis Nerd to try out some of these strings because not only are they some of the best value strings around, to me APR is one of the best strings full stop. Good tension maintenance, great spin, comfortable for a poly, nice pop and a soft feel without being mushy.
I'm interested in your Opinion about Hexa Elite Touch. Maybe you can give us some insight about its playability and characteristics.Big fan of APR. I've just ordered a reel of APR and the new Hexa Elite Touch from their website.

You know what's weird, they had that hexa elite on Amazon since like mid last year. I thought it was old stock till now since they have discontinued a few of their other strings previouslyI'm interested in your Opinion about Hexa Elite Touch.

Has anyone else played Alu Pearl Rough and what are any negatives about it, except for durability? I'm not keeping any string over 8 hours in order to keep more playtests ongoing.
I'll give it another go or as many as I can until the end of the week. I think trying a couple different tensions, this string does everything pretty well and more people should know about it.
I didn't like Oehms Sonic Speed (Power Wedges), it was the most dead-feeling, uninteresting string I've played ever.
I'm the first to say that I don't see it being a very durable string for more top-spin hitters than me or higher level players, but I'd be more than happy to play with it for the rest of my life. I string my own rackets, it does everything very well for me, no-brainer. It's that simple. It's one of these strings that fuels my inner flame of keep trying differents strings and find out about other "hidden gems" out there.Great work Konstantinos. I've been encouraging Tennis Nerd to review Oehms for a while now. Hopefully this might encourage him to do a video

Upon these, the thing has a "character".At $60 a reel it is a great value and even more so for others if they get more life out of it. Definitely a hidden gem the I keep coming back to,
Looks like a new Oehms tennis string has been released "Elite Touch". Anyone has tried it?

I'd derscibe Alu Pearl Rough as "gummy". Reading the product discription, I'd guess Elite Touch is a bit softer, so "jelly" maybe.The surface feels interesting—glossy but slightly rubbery. It's difficult to describe.
Yesterday and today I played the Isospeed Black Fire S (6-sided) with a Blade v5 16x19. The most stretchy poly I've ever strung. I've also been playing it with a Yonex DR98. Too powerful for me and less top-spin friendly than Alu Pearl Rough 1.25 and the identicals Dyreex Black Edge/Kirschbaum XPlosive Speed.However, after the first pull, I adjusted the tension to 24/23 because this string is incredibly stretchy (similar to Isospeed Baseline).
Man, these guys here play with the same string forever. That's why most of them have arm issues. I'm trying getting them into restringing more often. They have already started feeling the difference of a fresh stringjob! (I know Mayami Tour Hex holds excellent playability, but keeping it on your racket for more than 2 months playing 3 times a week is just too much).Price: €51.95 (currently discounted) for 200m.
If you string your own racquets and love playing with fresh string jobs, it's a no-brainer.
However, if you're one of those who restring their racquets with full bed poly in a year as often as you play each week, forget it.
I don't know why I didn't continue using it after trying it at the beginning of last winter season. I was happy with it but switched to other strings. Sometimes, as a Stringaholic, you skip a perfect match.
Comments about durability are welcomed by recreational players who will not be using the same can of balls for more than 4 1.5 sessions of straight baseline hitting (that's my max) and who restring at least once every 1.5 months.It's bloody fantastic!
I don't know if I will offer it to customers though as the playability duration isn't amazing.
