Toroline Wasabi X: Compare it with Cream, Ghostwire and MSV Swift as Cross?

Has anyone tried Toroline Wasabi X? I think it is a soft and slick poly, not sure how it is compared other polys of this category such as Cream, Ghostwire and MSV Swift, which are all good as cross string.


For me I think Ghostwire is more crisp while Cream/Swift are more mushy. Not sure where Wasabi X locates?

X is not in the same category as those other Strings.
Wouldn't consider X as Soft if we're also talking about GW,Cream and Swift.
Compared to them X is also slick but medium firm.
I wouldn't use X to soften a stringbed.
 
Although wasabi x isn’t as soft, I do find that somehow it enhances the feel as a cross string. I really enjoyed it with zero or black knight on the mains

How is the power level of Wasabi X? I’ve used Ghost Wire in the past as a cross, but it’s to soft for my liking. To much ball pocketing too, I like it to come off string bead a little quicker.

Do you guys think Wasabi X is stiffer than Wasabi?

I think the colors of wasabi matter. I’d say the red/pink wasabi is softer than x. Carbon and green wasabi are similar to x maybe a tad stiffer.

They feel mostly the same to me. I often struggle to determine if subtle differences in stiffness are caused by my inconsistencies as a stringer or if they are the string. I can't say I notice a huge different between Wasabi's but I also don't play them back to back. I prefer the darker colours (red/grey) as I feel they offer more pocketing and a more solid feel in my Whiteouts, but it's marginal for sure.

Funny, I talked to an employee at my local racquet shop and he was using this as a cross, and specifically called it an "enhancement string" and that he wouldn't use a full bed of it.
