Kirschbaum Super Smash Honey. One of the first in what has become a veritable sea of polyester strings from Europe. This one is German made and best selling point (besides price) is the large array of gauges. I am carrying 1.20mm, 1.25mm, 1.275mm and 1.30mm which are roughly 18 ga, 17ga, 16L and 16 ga respectively. Very durable and dead and recommended for string breakers.

$20

MSV Focus Hex is a recent arrival from Germany. As the name implies, the string is hex shaped for added spin potential. Excellent tension maintenance for a poly string and not bad in the comfort dept either. Available in 1.10, 1.18 and 1.23mm.

$22

MSV Heptatwist is similar in feel to Focus Hex but is seven sided and twisted to impart even more spin. Very similar to Solinco's Barb Wire. In black in both 1.20mm and 1.25mm.

$22

Babolat Pro Hurricane. A polyester string that has become quite popular on the pro tour. An excellent choice for hard hitters and chronic string breakers. It is frequently hybridized (paired with a softer cross string) for added comfort. I am stocking this in 17 and 18 ga.

$23

Same as Super Smash Honey except with added texture. So far, only in 1.25mm (17ga).

$23

Weiss Cannon Matchpower 1.25 is the softest co-poly I have tested to date. An excellent choice for those seeking the durability and control of polyester in a more comfortable package. In orange or cream color.

$23

Weiss Cannon Silverstring 1.20. Similar in feel to Luxilon's Fluoro, this co-poly string provides easy access to spin and a cushioned response at an unbeatable price.

$23

Signum Pro Poly Plasma 1.18 and 1.23 Signum Pro has garnered quite a following in Europe but is only recently making a splash here in the States. Poly Plasma is a bright orange co-poly that has better than average tension maintenance for a poly based string and plays a bit softer than Luxilon.

$24

Tecnifibre Pro Redcode 17. A comfort oriented co-poly with a lively response and a wallet friendly price.

$24

Weiss Cannon Scorpion 1.22. German co-polyester. The liveliest poly I've playtested. A good choice for juniors who are breaking strings and for players looking for a poly or poly hybrid for a smaller frame with a denser string pattern.

$24

Babolat Pro Hurricane Tour. I am carrying both 16 and 17 ga. I was stringing at a Challenger Event last summer and this string was being used by so many players I decided to start carrying it. It's softer than the original Pro Hurricane, but it's definitely still a poly.

$26

Kirschbaum Pro Line No. II. This is the latest from the folks at Kirschbaum, a co-poly in a bright red color. Big improvement in comfort and tension maintenance, but still a poly. In both 17 and 18 gauge.

$27

Prince Beast XP 16, the world's first "thermo-poly" according to Prince. Designed to hold tension better than previous poly strings while delivering superior spin, power and control. In green only.

$29

Tecnifibre Black Code 1.24 is a relatively soft polyester based string with a pentagonal shape for added spin.

$29

Signum Pro Tornado 1.23. This heptagonally shaped polyester is one of Signum's new Black Line of strings. Designed to produce big spin.

$30

Babolat RPM Blast. New co-poly from Babolat that is softer than their earlier offerings and octagonally shaped for more spin. Currently being used by Nadal, Roddick and Tsonga. Available in both 16 and 17 ga.

$32
