I haven't ever used the Hurricane in 18g, but i have tried it in 17g. It seemed to be good at first but tends to lose tension fairly quick in my opinion. I just strung the Luxilon Ace 18g in my racqurt actually. I normally string my LM Prestige MP at 62 lbs, so i dropped it to 57 lbs with this string. Ive never hit so well in my life. This string gave me amasing pop on the ball and excellent control. I was able to keep most all my shots inside the baseline as well. I beat one of my best friends with these strings....he beats me everytime we play. I think i will be purchasing a reel of this string soon. If i were you i would buy a pack of each and try em out, but if not... go with the Luxilon Ace 18g. Its a very good string.
