A friend told me about this brand so I ordered the sample package. I haven’t played with it yet but the packaging is luxurious and the best I’ve seen for tennis strings! Has anyone played with these?

I strung up the Caviar last night, as mains, and I put a slick, round poly as crosses (Technifibre Red Code Wax -- just because it's a leftover from a reel that I'm trying to use up). 44 / 42 lbs. I'm playing tonight so I will update again soon.

The string packaging is rectangular because they cut the string into 2 pieces and placed them side by side. Each piece is ~23' or so, pretty generous cuts.

I have tested the absolute ( softest of their poly) with Gosen gtour 3 1.18 as the cross 48 pounds in a 2012 PD, felt great even good snapback , the two strings blended well,
also tested the caviar full bed at 42 pounds in a technifibre t40 , suprising spin in the 18/20 set up felt pretty comfy in that frame as well, again decent snapback and grabbed the
ball well. Gave a set of caviar to a top junior girl locally. She also liked the string had more pop than other string she was testing hyper G. The owner is a friend of pro Jason Jung, Chris
has been super helpful and the feedback we've been getting in the store has been good. Definitely worth a test!!

Resurrecting this thread as I have hit a couple of Toroline strings lately and I must say I am very impressed. Super Toro is low powered but comfortable with good tension maintenance and spin potential. The new Wasabi string is very comfortable with great feel/touch and pocketing with above average spin. Will try Caviar next.

I enjoyed the pocketing on the Toroline Wasabi full bed, but I could not vibe with the sound at all. It was pingy and twangy, even after putting in a dampener. That might have totally killed my feel / touch shots :|. It didn't have this sound when did Wasabi mains and SG crosses.

Interesting. I didn’t notice any weird sound but I also use a dampener. Still have the string in one of my clash 100s but prob needs to be cut out. Still haven’t gotten around to trying caviar yet.

Sound alone can be deal breaker. Use the longer dampener to reduce sound maximum.

I've used Caviar and Absolute and a few customers are happily using Caviar. Today I strung a Wilson Ultra 100 V3 with the Blitz/Aura set 50 on the mains and 52 for the crosses then I hit the court. I prefer thinner strings but this 16L is great. Nice pop. easy on the elbow, good, not great spin but fine for top spin. Using two shaped strings and the crosses at higher tension was different but it turned out quite good.

Just opened my sample packs, the pink and red packaging is almost the same color. The strings are both different shades of pink as well. The "red" is more like a magenta/fuchsia darker pink/purple and the other one is more like a bubble gum pink.

I got one of these sample box and want to try a hybrid with caviar mains and absolute cross? Anyone tried this before or think if this is a worthy idea to test?
 
Just bought that wasabi sample pack and a pack of caviar. Can't wait. Will be comparing to Yonex Poly Tour Pro

Caviar is very similar to Poly Tour Pro Yellow; the Yonex is softer and has a rougher surface. On the court depending on the day I will like one over the other, so for me they are both my fav strings at the moment. Let us know :)

I have been hitting with Wasabi for a few weeks the Pink one and I really like it too...

My first trial of Toroline Super Toro in a Wilson Ultra Pro (97") 16x19 is impressive. More control than expected but not as much as I prefer. The spin is good, power is great, and after six hours tension is holding. I've tried the Caviar a few times and so far, Toroline does not disappoint

Caviar felt best at 48 lbs in my Ripstick. Didn't like it at 55/53. While it felt it could be too powerful at 48, it felt much better and was pretty consistent. After trying it at the higher/lower tensions, it felt better in the upper 40's.

Posted this in the Toroline Wasabi thread -- I strung up the green 1.25mm Wasabi and it has been a very pleasant surprise with its performance and tension maintenance.
Is it too lively? How does green compare to red wasabi?
 
Green is 1.25 and red is 1.23 so it’s minimal. Just wondering if the two colors play differently

I had two fresh rackets strung at 50lbs one with red and one with green Wasabi (Wilson Pro staff Six.One) yesterday and tended to like the spin slightly more on the red; shots near the baseline dropped in at a slightly higher margin. I hit mostly flat other than a inside out forehand to backhand. I normally don't use 17 guage but I really like this string. I would say either string will give you 95% similar feel.

Wasabi 1.23 is pretty thick. Just as thick as 1.25 or maybe even thicker. On a 100sq in 16x19 racket, it was 3 grams heavier than majority of the 1.25g polys in my experience.

Agree they felt more like a 16L to me. Super thick in a tight 18x20, not a good match. I think these would go better in a pretty open string pattern.

Switching back to my SW104 so I cut out the strings in all my racquets and strung them up fresh. Decided to ask my wife which of the colors from the sample pack would look the most garish in a v6 Blade and she picked the hot pink.

Strung it at 49/42, and right off the stringer Racquettune said it was 42.3 pounds (though that was measured with my usual string factor that is almost certainly wrong for Wasabi). After sitting overnight, it now reads 37.9 pounds, which is a 10.4% tension loss. Ouch! There was moderate coil memory and minimal elasticity when pulling tension. It feels a lot like Ultra Cable in how it behaves when being strung. It added between 2-3 grams of weight over 18 gauge Cyclone Tour.

Will hit with it in a little bit. Hopefully I will not get kicked out of my club for abuse of eyeballs. This color combo is really pretty hideous.

Hit with Wasabi for about 30 minutes. Not bad! Compared with 17 gauge Silver 7 Tour, the launch angle is just a hair lower, as is the power level. It's not as crisp feeling, without that pocketing sensation nor lively response, but makes up for it by being more comfortable. Because I was playing outside in swirly conditions with a bright sun and cloudless sky, I was trying mostly to swing with a flatter trajectory so I couldn't tell ultimate spin capability but I didn't notice any deficiencies in that area. I most often swung at no more than about 50%, just trying to make good contact.

It feels like a bit more lively and more crisp Ultra Cable, with a less muted feeling and a bit less comfort. That's a good compromise in my mind. After the 30 minutes, the string now registers 36.8 pounds on RacquetTune.

If Wasabi proves to have spin capability that the sharp shape indicates when I'm playing indoors, and holds playability for 10-12 hours, it feels like a strong contender for a string that I could use going forward.

I think toroline messed up and sent me pink instead of red.

Edit: they have pictures of the three colors next to each other. Red is really magenta and the pink has neon element to it.

Got a short back-to-back hit with Wasabi while playing a doubles match using 17 gauge Silver 7 Tour. In a more muted racquet like the v6 and v7 SW104, the Wasabi is a bit more muted than I would prefer. S7T has that liveliness that makes a well hit shot feel kind of extra special.

About to cut out the Wasabi. Over the past week, in about the fourth hour or so of play, the string characteristics have changed significantly. Tension loss is now an issue - RacquetTune says it's only at 32.1 pounds, a loss of 10.2 pounds or 24.1% tension loss from the 42.3 that RacquetTune measured right off the stringer. Along with that, there's now this low frequency "whomp" sound on contact that is distinctly unpleasant. It sounds like hitting with strings that are too loose, and that noise has gotten louder despite my use of a Prince Silencer vibration damper which spans twelve strings. Power levels and launch angle have decreased despite the low tension, and even though the strings are still returning to place and notching is minimal. Spin capability seems decreased though it's hard to know because getting a lot of lift over the net requires an unusual adjustment to my normal stroke. I'm now having problems switching between racquets with it and my preferred Silver 7 Tour. The first few strokes with Wasabi have about a two foot lower trajectory at the net, which is pretty significant. Comfort levels have also gone down, like the string has lost elasticity along with tension.

I never hit with it as intensely as I normally do. That could possibly have accelerated tension loss. Now, when I do flatten out my swingpath to try and put some extra velocity on the ball, the rebound angle feels inconsistent and there is also a feeling like the string is absorbing energy from the swing and putting that as shock into the racquet.

I'll try another set at some later time but for now, it's a pretty hard pass despite Wasabi feeling pretty good for the first hour or two.

I wonder what to get. I do need a rain jacket.
I love toroline caviar but already have a mini reel. I will try Super Toro (reel only?) and the two hybrid sets for sale. Think I will buy an Absolute set to try too
