It eventually develops the slightly softer feel of a multifilament, and it kinks and develops fuzzy ends like a multifilament during installation. But it has increased coil memory and impressive durability like a polyester string. We would highly recommend this string to players who are breaking strings too often, but do not want to go to a polyester or a Kevlar hybrid. Head made a wise decision recommending this string for their Control Series racquets because players targeted for these frames will tend to break strings more often. Median value is 3.

Except for gut, this is the best string I have played. Lasts long, holds tension, appears to add control and zip to the ball, and after 30 hours of play, it still feels lively. It even sounds fresh. I highly recommend it. This string ran circles around Prince Synthetic Gut with Duraflex.
