Please Help Identify this String! Braided/Twisted/Shaped White Tennis String

Hi! I bought a racquet I like from **** and it came with a string that I have really been enjoying and playing well with. I would like to identify this string so that I can continue to use it in the future. Unfortunately, there are no visible brand marks left anywhere on the string, including the portions in the grommets.

Here is what I know:
- It looks like it is made of 3-4 large braided/twisted/spiral filaments or is a monofilament that is heavily twisted. Has a very clear twisted aesthetic.
- It plays/feels soft despite being feeling like 48-52lbs of tension. When I hit hard I can feel the string give. It feels much more flexible than Alu Power or Hyper G at similar tensions
- On a 95 square inch 18 x 20 head liquidmetal radical frame the strings do not stray out of place even after hard hitting.
- The string does fray. At a couple sections there are pieces of the string sticking out, there is one such spot in the photo linked.

I have lost most hope of identifying this mystery string. But if anyone can help me it is someone from this forum.

Head rip control?

Head rip control?

That’s not it unfortunately. Head Rip Control has an “X” pattern going around the string which is different from the twine pattern of mine

Sensation Control or Gamma LiveWire?

With no printing. I suspect this is a no name brand. Your description had me thinking it is an Asian market poly multi.

Wondering if it could be Pros Pro Kingut or their Ultra. However PP strings tend to have printing.

Sensation control looks like a possible match from the images I’m able to find online. I also happen to have a racquet strung with Wilson sensation which I enjoy the feel of, but that string moves out of place a lot and has a very pingy not-soft sound. Going to try to find some sensation control in person to inspect.

Gamma live wire from what I can find online doesn’t look like a twisted string.

I see some very vague worn off ink marks which makes me think it had some labeling originally. I really hope it’s not an Asian generic because I’d love to string with this in the future. Thanks for your response

As mentioned on another platform I’m fairly confident it’s Volkl V Torque Tour. Both the regular and the tour version do tend to shear or fray a bit.

After those comments I actually took a very scrutinizing look at V torque tour from the tennis warehouse video and came to the sad realization that it’s definitely not the same string. The V torque string has very visible channels/open grooves that look kind of like aqueduct channels while mine is like a tightly wound twine.

Here is an image of the volkl v torque:

My mind goes to syn gut or multi. Prince lighting, yonex dynawire, gosen ak pro cx. But it's got a distinct white/silverish colour it seems

I’m leaning the same way based on how soft it plays and that it looks like it’s made of multiple filaments. You’re 100% correct it has a unique holographic effect on light based on what angle/lighting you look at it.

I looked up those strings, can’t find perfect closeup images online but both Yonex Dynawire and Gosen AK pro cx look very plausible in both color and spiral. fingers crossed it’s one of them, I’m going to try to find some samples in person to investigate.

Could be the newer Prince Topspin.

Yeah you’re right prince topspin and some of their other synth guts look like a color match and have a spiral pattern. Tough to find closeup pics of it online I’m adding it to my list of strings to inspect in person.

I also finally got a response from the guy who sold me the racquet. Said he’d text the guy who gave HIM the racquet and would get back to me. Hopefully the mystery gets solved.
