Will do. Appreciate it. Im almost done with my reel of live wire so when I finish ill hit you up.

Yeah. Excellent string in many ways and a bargain. I find it comporable or better than most of the 10-20 dollar multis.

Enjoy until it lasts you guys because it has been discontinued. TW run out of this string and I think it was the only place still selling it.

Ok... I played with the BAM and Maxim Touch setup for the second time yesterday night... so I have but in about 3 hours of play with it. I am not a big topspin hitter as a rule... but I have noticed that with the thin gauge string I am really fluffing up the ball. I have also noticed that the BAM looks like it is holding up well... the Maxim Touch is already notching pretty good. My guess is that if I were to use this racket exclusively... I would snap the string on a regular basis... every 10-15 hours or so. Great setup though.

Anyone else eating up the Maxim Touch 17?

When I used Big Ace with synthetic guts that had any kind of texture it would eat them alive. Not sure about BAM since I've never used that.

I liked that setup but found more control and less comfort with full BAM. Now I play with full Cyber Flash 1.25. I swear I can place my serves on a dime. I cannot believe the amount of control it provides but less comfort.

Coy^^ Try Tecnifibre NRG very durable multi.My Hitting partner has been using it in the Mains crossed with SPPP and still has yet to pop.That was 2 months ago,hits four times a week.Worth every penny I buy it in reels.Test it out

I use it to cross my Tonic mains.Very Durable crisp set up.

Also Head Rip is quite durable for an afforadable Multi.Good string.

Ok- Cut out the MSV EVO Hex today and strung up the NRG2 1.18ga at 63lbs.

I will hit with it Sunday- looking forward to it. Still waiting to string up the Maxim touch

 

[10ACE]

I look forward to your test results.

Ok so hit with the NRG2 1.18ga today strung at 63lb 18x20 95 head- right off the bat the string is effortless to create pace even at 63. Comfortable and great bite too especially on the back hand slice. Since I mostly use MSV Focus 1.18- I did notice that I had to fine tune some when the NRG2 allowed more power.

One complaint I guess- 5 minutes, not even, into hitting my stings were moving quite radically- even at 63lbs. Not enough for me to warrant not using it.

I liked the ease of hitting with this string, comfort wise, bite, and touch- Touch was fantastic at the net.

Overall as a full bed I am impressed- my next test is the Maxim Touch-

My 2nd stick with the Maxim 17 made it 11 sets of singles and 1 set of doubles before breaking this morning. For a string breaker like me, this is very good. The strings don't move much either. I'm going to start increasing the tension as my elbow gets better. The low tension combined with using a crank machine gives me the trampoline effect at times. Looking forward to testing it when I have more control.

After using the NRG2 18ga at 63- I think next time I will go up to 65lbs. The comfort of the string and bite was impressive, however, after it loosened up, I couldn't use my natural swing power like I can with my poly set up.

Using this full bed NRG2 1.18 it was very easy to be consistent, getting good feel for depth at a regular power tempo, nothing too drastic just ease of stroke. I would say anyone looking for a comfort, touch full multi set up, then this would be a great string. Interesting to note, the first time I hit with this the strings moved all over the place, however two days later when I picked it up to hit, the strings didn't move as much perhaps due to settling.

I have ordered NRG2 18 from TW and waiting for it to arrive. I have Babolat PSL which is 18x20 pattern in a 95 head. I cannot wait to get out and try this string.

Awesome- report back on how you liked it, if you don't mind.

Prince Premiere LT is a great multi that gets little love around here. Good power and nice and soft.

???? What did you think? I thought it was a great full bed set up- lost tension on me sort of fast- but great feel- bite- touch- strings moved the first day but then settled in- great string for someone who wants power with the ability of control

I managed to hit with NRG2 18 last night. It was a great feeling. My only downside to using 18g is it will break in 4 or 5 hours for me. I cannot afford that cost unless I buy a cheap stringer and string myself. I might try some 17g string like prince premier softflex 17 or the NRG2 17.

I switched from poly-muti hybrid to full multifiliment this year. Currently using live wire pro on the mains and prince premier on the crosses. Works well, with controllable power and good feel. Live wire has a bit more power than I want, Premier has a bit less. Together, at 58lbs, they seem perfect. Spin generation is less than the polys provided, but not bad. Someone else suggested gamma tnt and I agree that that might be a great solution for you. good power and real good spin (I always noticed all the green fuzz sticking to the tnt crosses in my hybrids. something about that string really bites the ball)-- If i had a reel of it I might have used tnt myself.

Yeah it is pricey for a string that looses tension quite fast.

The Gamma TNT is quit good and sort of has a similar look as the NRG2
I think Gamma is a decent string some say it's horrible but what eva

 

[JackB1]

Another great multi that gets little hype is Gamma Professional.

 

[FedHammer]

Haven't tried a ton of multi's but my faves are:

1) Babolat Addiction
2)X-1 BiPhase
3)Gamma TNT

I love Head Rip Control 17. Very soft string, very low powered, great control, good access to spin. If you like a stiff string or a high powered string, you won't like this string.
