Gauges

 

notes

There is a choice of four gauges available between 1.20 and 1.35 mm.

Comfort

 

notes

This string is similar to most synthetic strings. There should be no problems using this string.

In Play

 

notes

This string provides good power and control. It is more suitable for power play than response, which makes it better for players with a faster game.

Durability

 

notes

You can expect extra durability from this string, as this has always been a feature of Kirschbaum strings. The thinner gauges will obviously be less durable.

Features

 

notes

The main additional feature is that there is little movement of the strings in the racket. This is considered to be important to many players.

Tension

 

notes

There is lower tension loss than with most strings. This is very important as medium to advanced players need consistent string tension.

Price

This string is in the medium price range. The price will vary between mail order dealers and retail shops.

String Summary

This string should be suitable for many club and team players.

 

This string is recommended for players who normally break strings, but still want performance. The thinner gauge should provide improved performance without the loss of durability.
