My guess is that 1.05-1.15 would not long in Op’s racquet
OP said soft, spin friendly, not long-lasting, tension maintenance string.
I got 9 hours out of it. Feels very good while it's playing well. I strung at 48lbs in an 18/20 98 Sq inch.
It went dead after 9 hours.
- oxymoron
Is it worth it though?
I was certainly impressed with it, thought it performed well and was a quality string. I am no authority but think the price seems reasonable/fair compared with other strings. Not cheap but not expensive, to my mind, although whether its performance and feel are worth it compared to what you use I do not know. What do you currently use?
Not expensive? Seems at least double the price of Durafluxx or Tour Hex.
Not quite sure which you are referring to but from what I could find on Mayami or Tier One’s websites those are between $10-12 a set, while Alpha is $12.50 on Grapplesnake’s website. Seems pretty close to me.
The reels were $75(with 30% off) for Tour Hex/Hit Pro/Big Spin etc (and free shipping), $79 for DuraFluxx (plus $20 shipping to Canada), while M8 and Alpha are listed at $159.
As do I, comparing like for like with full price compared to full price, not a special sale price compared with full price. Whether a brand currently or in the past had great sale prices is a different matter, and indeed those other brands may have better sales, I do not know. At the brands’ regular prices, however, their prices are fairly comparable.
No way Jose. You are tiresome. Go check now: $79 for DuraFluxx (plus $20 shipping to Canada), while M8 and Alpha are listed at $159.

I did indeed check it out, where it indicates it is currently discounted from $134 normal price. That is a great current price and if one were buying right now, fantastic and go for that one if they are comparable. I am not arguing that in the slightest. In terms of fairness to the brands, however, I compared their normal full prices, which are $134 compared to $159. That is all and not sure why you are feeling the need to be abrasive. Oh well, at this point I too find you tiresome, so I am glad we can end this in some form of agreement.No way Jose. You are tiresome. Go check now: $79 for DuraFluxx (plus $20 shipping to Canada), while M8 and Alpha are listed at $159.
DURAFLUXX Tennis String Reel
Unveil TRU PRO's DURAFLUXX String: A next-gen low-power co-poly for self-made power players. Its hexagonal shape with Tru Recoil boosts spin, great for high racquet speeds.
I think that you work for a brand lol I'm tiresome b/c I am thinking about value ?
Haha to be fair, I can kind of see why you might have thought that. Alas no though, a scientist and simply prefer information be represented accurately. That is how a proper comparison can be made. For sure, if it was between those two currently it would be a no brainier to buy the one on sale. I never disputed that. While I get that point, I do not understand the refusal to consider how comparing a momentary sale price for one brand to another brand’s product on full price is not representative. That is all.
Well for a 5 year year plan (like in socialism ahem), that would be accurate of course.
It is soft with good tension maintenance but not that spinny.
I agree with black code, also at that tension. Wish it stayed playable a little longer, though it's not bad there either.
