Got the strings yesterday and gave the racquet to my stringer today. Gravity Pro @50lbs.
stiff and firm... I was hoping it wasn't, oh well.Just got my string in the mail, as I live on the west coast I always get TW products rather quickly. It is advertised as firm and BITE. It is a 8 sided bright orange string
"For baseliners with medium to fast swing speeds looking for a shaped string that grabs the ball for the ultimate spin experience."
My guess is it will play like a solinco Revolution, as it feels pretty stiff and firm in my hand when stringing. Obviously full review to come
Does the plasma hex feel as slippery as this?First impressions of 1.20mm. 48x45 in a Six.One Team 18x20.
Really muted, but quite firm. Low, low power. Reminds me a lot of RPM Blast. The stringbed just feels mushy? Muted? Across the whole thing. Not a lot of pocketing. Spin was ok but I don't hit with a lot of spin anyways.
For those who haven't strung up yet, I'd advise going 2 pounds lower.
EDIT: After another five minutes of thought, I realize that this feels A LOT A LOT like signum poly pro plasma hex. Like a carbon copy.
I hope you're right. My string of choice is Revolution, and my PT Rev is due to arrive Tuesday.Just got my string in the mail, as I live on the west coast I always get TW products rather quickly. It is advertised as firm and BITE. It is a 8 sided bright orange string

No, PTR (poly tour rev) definitely has a slicker, snappier surface.Does the plasma hex feel as slippery as this?

Mine went from 48.5lbs to 45.6lbs from machine to after 1st hit. So about a 6% drop.After sitting overnight, RacquetTune now reports 43.9 pounds of tension, just less than a 5% drop.
I only hit 4 games + warmup, but feel-wise, I liked it. Not nearly as stiff as I thought it would be. My normal poly (Laserfibre Native Tour) is a higher powered poly (I’m up to 55lbs with that), so I’m going to need some calm weather to get an accurate read on it.How do you find that compared to your normal string?
I'm interested in how the string will play in your extended racquets with higher SW. Which racquet is the string going in?Seeing all these reviews come in is killing me. 8 more days of quarantine to go, then I'm able to get out & hit again.
